Ingredients

Units Scale

Muffins:

  • 3 Bananas, ripe and mashed
  • 180ml soy milk
  • 256g Gluten free oat flour
  • 90g chickpea / gram flour
  • 100g granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp vegan butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 30ml espresso
  • 50g hazelnuts, chopped

Topping:

  • 2 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 50g chopped hazelnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F)
  2. Lightly grease the wells of a muffin tin.
  3. To a large bowl, add the bananas and mash until puréed. Then add the milk and oil and mix well.
  4. Add the remaining muffin ingredients and mix until there are no lumps left.
  5. Fill the wells of the muffin tin until ¾ full.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon for the topping and sprinkle it on the muffins. Add a sprinkle of chopped hazelnuts to the top of each muffin.
  7. Bake on the centre rack in the preheated oven for 16 – 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from the muffin tins, and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can swap the melted vegan butter for Refined coconut oil. Refined coconut oil is coconut oil that doesn’t smell or taste like coconuts. If you prefer a distinct coconut taste, use unrefined coconut oil instead.
  • Use store-bought oat flour, or make it yourself by adding old-fashioned rolled oats to a food processor and blending until you achieve a flour-like consistency.
  • We don’t advise swapping out the chickpea flour for all-purpose flour as it may result in muffins that are too dense and dry.
