Equipment

Ingredients

⅓ cup coconut oil melted
2 large eggs
⅓ cup unsweetened applesauce
⅓ cup pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ cup oat flour*
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

Heat the oven to 350F.
In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, eggs, applesauce, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
Add the oat flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir until well incorporated.
Pour in the blueberries and gently stir until just combined, being careful not to break them up into the batter.
Spoon 1 heaping tablespoon of the batter into a greased mini muffin tin. Top with three blueberries, then continue filling two muffin pans with the batter.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges begin to pull away from the sides and a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then cool the rest of the way on a cooling rack.

Notes

*Make your own oat flour for this recipe by placing 2 cups whole rolled oats in a blender and blending until a coarse flour forms. You can purchase pre-made oat flour at many grocery stores and natural food markets or online.

**Make sure your oats are labeled gluten-free if that's important to you.

Add a bit more maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter muffin.
