💚 Why You Will Love This Recipe

You will love these egg free oat muffins because they are:

• Healthy
• Easy to make
• Super delicious
• Great way to hide oats in cups and have a wholesome breakfast
• Soft and Moist

🥧 What You Will Need

• 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 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 or egg free oat muffins 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.
