Sugar-Free Vegan Blueberry Muffins
Jenny Sugar, from POPSUGAR Fitness
Ingredients
- 1 cup dates (about 8 or 130 grams)
2 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup dairy-free milk, divided (I used Silk Unsweetened Soy Milk)
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 large very ripe banana (fresh or frozen)
2 tablespoons flaxmeal
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoons applesauce
1 1/4 cups blueberries, divided (fresh or frozen, save 1/4 cup to sprinkle on top)
Directions
- Add the dates to a measuring cup or bowl and cover with hot water. Set aside to soften.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin tin with 12 cups.
- Add the rolled oats to a food processor and process a minute or so until you have a slightly coarse oat flour.
- Add the baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon, and process until mixed.
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix together one half cup of the oat milk with the apple cider vinegar and set aside.
- To the food processor, add the other half cup of oat milk, ripe banana, flaxmeal, applesauce, and dates (discard the water from soaking) to the food processor and process until a batter forms.
- Add the milk/vinegar mixture and process until smooth.
- Hand mix one cup of the blueberries into the batter, saving one-quarter cup to sprinkle on top.
- Fill the 12 muffin cups evenly with batter, filling them about three-quarters full, and sprinkling a few blueberries on top.
- Bake muffins for 22 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
