Apple Oatmeal Raisin Muffins (plant-based, gluten-free)
I find I have so much more energy and patience after giving up gluten and refined sugar, but I was missing eating things like muffins. So I made up a recipe! Apple oatmeal raisin muffins, based on what I had in the kitchen. They came out so tasty, my kids are asking to eat them instead of the regular wheat muffins. We’ve started making these as a regular staple in our kitchen.Today's inspiration: “What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.” — Henry David ThoreauMay you become everything you want. And may you realize that you have already become everything you need.


Ingredients
Wet ingredients
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 1 cup soy milk
- 2 Tbsp ground flax seeds
- ⅓ cup melted vegan butter (like Miyoko's)
- 1 apple, grated, with skin
Dry ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup gluten-free oat flour, chick pea flour, or gluten-free flour blend (like Bob's Red Mill)
- ⅓ cup almond flour
- ⅓ cup buckwheat flour
- 2 ½ tsp baking power
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
- 1 ¼ cup raisins
Directions
- In a small bowl, mix the wet ingredients: vanilla, maple syrup, soy milk, flax seeds, melted vegan butter, and grated apple. Let it sit for 5 minutes so the flax seeds soak up some of the liquid.
- In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients: gluten-free flour, almond flour, buckwheat flour, baking powder, salt, rolled oats, and raisins.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined, being careful to not overmix.
- Spoon the batter into 12 muffins cups (I used silicone wrappers but you could use paper in a muffin tin instead), then bake at 375F for 18-22 minutes, until a knife inserted into a muffin comes out clean. Remove from the oven, let them sit in the tin for 5 minutes, then cool the muffins on a wire rack. Enjoy!
