INGREDIENTS FOR HEALTHY EGG FREE OAT MUFFINS

• Old Fashioned Rolled Oats – Key gluten-free ingredient for the recipe. Quaker Oats are always my go-to rolled oats for any oat recipe, best for even oatmeal as they absorb more water and cook faster than steel-cut oats.
• Whole Wheat Flour – Adds more whole grains to your diet and gives a lightly baked muffin. You can skip this and replace it with an equal amount of oats.
• Ground Almonds – Gives light, delicate, and nutty-flavored muffins.
• Yogurt and Milk – Substitute for eggs, help keep muffins spongy, moist, and soft.
• Baking Powder and Baking Soda – Both leavening agents are used for some rise and fluffiness. 
• Cocoa Powder – Gives a dark rich chocolatey flavor.  You can also add some chocolate chips or dark chocolate.
• Salt– Brings out the sweetness and balances the flavor. 
• Brown Sugar – I use brown sugar in almost all my baking because it’s naturally moist and results in moister and softer muffins and cakes. You can also substitute brown sugar with applesauce.
• Cinnamon Powder – To get a warm cinnamon spice flavor.
• Coffee Powder – Enhances and intensifies the chocolate flavor.
• Coconut oil – Adds moisture and makes muffins nice and flaky. Use unrefined coconut oil as it’s minimally processed and has a mild coconut scent and flavor. You can also use melted butter instead of coconut oil.
• Additional mix-ins – Add up to one cup of fruit (banana, apple) to the batter to customize it, if you’d like.

HOW TO MAKE THESE MUFFINS VEGAN

You can easily turn these eggless oat muffins into vegan by swapping a few ingredients.

1. Flax Egg

Instead of yogurt, use a flaxseed meal. This helps to hold the muffins together. All you have to do for this recipe is to mix 1 Tbsp of ground flaxseed with 3 Tbsp of water, then let the mixture rest for around 15 minutes, until it has a gel-like consistency.

2. Dairy-Free Milk

Use any dairy-free milk you would like such as oat milk, almond milk, or soy milk.

3. Coconut Oil

Adds moisture to the muffins and is a perfect substitute for butter.
