The Almonds and Oats

Making these muffins is so easy that you can whip them up in less than 25 mins.

  • Start off by adding 1 and 1/4 cups of raw almonds into a food processor.
  • Blend them into a rough powder and then add 1 cup of rolled oats. We need to be sure to use rolled oats and not the fast cook or 1 min cook oats. The idea is to get a hearty muffin.
  • Pulse a couple of times to allow the oats to break up a bit and mix in with the almonds.

The Wet Ingredients

Now that the almonds and oats are blended, we can add the wet ingredients to them.

  • Mix 1/4 cup of real maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup of vegetable oil,
  • and 1/2 cup of non-dairy milk of choice into a large mixing bowl.
  • Pour the almond and oat mixture into the bowl and mix together.
  • Add the 1/4 cup of unsweetened coconut and a pinch of salt to the bowl and mix to form a muffin mix.

Baking the Healthy Snack

Let’s bake these delicious and healthy muffins.

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
  • Line a muffin tray with 12 muffin liners and pour the muffin mix into the liners. Top each one of the muffins with a raw almond.
  • Bake your healthy oat and almond muffins for 10-12 minutes. The baking time always depends on individual ovens.
  • Insert a toothpick and remove it. If the toothpick comes out clean, your muffins are ready to be removed from the oven.

Let them cool for a few minutes in the muffin tray. Once cooled you can remove them from the muffin tray and allow them to cool completely on a cookie rack.

Storing the Vegan and Gluten Free Muffins

I generally tend to make a double batch of these and keep them in the fridge. They can be stored in an air tight container for up to 1 week in the fridge.

    My review is rather overdue.

    I tried these muffins the very same day that I received the recipe. And needless to say, whoever tried them, wanted the recipe!

    I even tried another lot soon after where I added a bit of sweet potato flour. Another twist to the original recipe!
