Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup oat flour or blend rolled oats into flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil or almond butter melted
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup or coconut sugar
  • 1 mashed banana for extra sweetness or 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup plant-based milk almond, oat, or soy

Method
 

Mixing the Dry Ingredients
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk everything together to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.
Combining the Wet Ingredients
  1. In another bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil (or almond butter), maple syrup, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Stir well until smooth and fully combined.
Bringing It All Together
  1. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold the mixture together. Add plant-based milk gradually, stirring just until the batter comes together. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffin tops light and tender.
Adding the Chocolate Chips
  1. Gently fold in the vegan chocolate chips and any optional add-ins like nuts or shredded coconut. The batter should be slightly thick but easy to scoop.
Baking the Muffin Tops
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop mounds of batter onto the sheet, spacing them a few inches apart. Flatten each mound slightly with the back of a spoon to create a muffin top shape.
  2. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the tops are set. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
