Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 10 muffins
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with coconut oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to remove any lumps and ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and unsweetened applesauce until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as coconut flour can become dense if stirred too much.
- Let the batter rest for 3-5 minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb the liquid and achieve the right consistency.
- Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with additional maple syrup before serving.
Tips
- Measure Accurately: Coconut flour is highly absorbent, so make sure to measure it accurately for the best texture. A kitchen scale can help ensure precision.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins, which we want to avoid!
- Rest the Batter: Allowing the batter to rest for 3-5 minutes is crucial. This lets the coconut flour absorb the liquids and helps create a lighter muffin.
- Customize Your Muffins: Feel free to add in your favorite mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit for an extra flavor boost!
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking your muffins at the 22-minute mark. A toothpick should come out clean when they’re ready.
- Storage Tips: These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a couple of days or in the fridge for up to a week. They also freeze well—just pop them in the microwave for a quick treat!
