Ingredients

For the Muffin Batter

  • 1 cup oat flour
  • ¼ cup almond meal
  • ⅓ cup rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts optional
  • 2-3 tablespoons grated fresh ginger or 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil

For the Oat Crumble Topping

  • ¼ cup rolled oats
  • 3 tablespoons oat flour
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar or coconut sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • pinch fine sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon softened coconut oil not melted

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease or line a muffin pan for 8 muffins.
  • Make the topping first by combining all of the ingredients in a small bowl. The coconut oil should be soft (as it usually is at room temperature) but not melted. Use a fork to mash everything together until well-combined.
  • Next, combine all of the dry ingredients (oat flour to salt) in a large bowl and then set aside. In a separate bowl, combine all of the wet ingredients and stir together. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet along with the chopped walnuts.
  • Scoop the batter into the muffin pan so that each is ¾ of the way full.  Use your fingers to crumble the topping on each. Bake in the oven for 22-25 minutes, until light golden brown around the edges. Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
