Ingredients
- 60 g (¼ cup) coconut oil (or sub olive or vegetable oil)
- 250 ml (1 cup) unsweetened almond milk (or any other plant-based milk)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (ensure gluten-free if necessary)
- 8 tablespoons maple syrup (or sub any other sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch salt
- 150 g (1 ¼ cup) ground almonds (almond meal) *
- 75 g (¾ cup) rolled oats (ensure gluten-free if necessary)
- 150 g (1 ¼ cup) gluten-free flour blend (or sub plain flour if not gluten-free)
- 2 heaped teaspoons baking powder (ensure gluten-free if necessary)
- ¼ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
- 100 g (1 cup) fresh blueberries
To decorate:
- Rolled oats (ensure gluten-free if necessary)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).
Place the coconut oil in a large bowl and melt over a saucepan of boiling water or in the microwave (skip this step if using any other oil).
Once melted, add the milk to the same bowl along with the vinegar, maple syrup, vanilla, salt, ground almonds and oats.
Sift in the flour, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda.
Mix well, adding a tiny splash more milk if it’s looking too dry.
Add the fresh blueberries and fold in gently, to make sure you don’t crush them.
Transfer the mixture between muffin cases in a muffin tin.
Sprinkle over oats to decorate.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until risen and an inserted skewer comes out clean.
Tastes best when fresh, but keeps covered in the fridge for up to a few days.
Notes
**You can alternatively use almond flour.
Though these muffins do obviously taste best when fresh, they keep well covered in the fridge for up to a few days, and freeze well too.If you have just taken them out of the fridge of freezer, I'd recommend warming them up in an oven toaster if you have one.

Just made a batch of these they are so delicious! I used spelt flour and halved the maple syrup and they came out perfectly.Reply

Thank you so much, so happy to hear that!

I made these with organic cane sugar (4 TBS), canned coconut milk and spelt flour in place of the gluten free flour, They're delicious but next time I might add something to help them bind. They are messy and crumble easily.Reply
Rhian Williams
Thank you for the feedback! I think the reason they were crumbly is because you used canned coconut milk, which contains a lot of oil, and adding too much oil to these will make them crumbly. For better results next time, I'd recommend using a plant-based milk that comes in a carton (which is much lower in oil than canned coconut milk). I hope that helps!
