Calories 261 kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cup oat flour (certified gluten-free)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup applesauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted, room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tbsp molasses
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup pecans (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 and spray a muffin pan with non-stick spray.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine your dry ingredients: oat flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon, and stir till well combined. 

  3. In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine your applesauce, brown sugar, coconut oil, almond milk, vanilla and molasses, and stir till all the ingredients are well incorporated.

  4. Add to your medium mixing bowl your two eggs, whisking them into your other wet ingredients until they are well incorporated. 

  5. Pour your wet ingredients from your medium sized mixing bowl into your dry ingredients (in your large mixing bowl). Stir until well combined.

  6. Add in your chopped pecans and fold them into your batter.

  7. Let your batter set for about 5-10 minutes so the oats have time to soak up all the wet ingredients, so your batter will come to the right consistency.

  8. Scoop your muffin batter into each muffin tin, filling them about 2/3 way full, till they are all filled. You can place a single pecan on top of each muffin if you'd like, and gently push it into the batter a touch, so it will stick.

  9. Bake your muffins for 18-20 minutes, or till the tops of your muffins are springy (and after poking a muffin with a toothpick, the toothpick comes out clean).

  10. Devour!

Recipe Notes

I'd recommend storing these muffins in the fridge, so they will keep longer, and they should stay good for about one week. Alternatively, you put half of the muffins into a ziplock bag in your freezer to enjoy later, as these muffins are freezer friendly!
