Almond Butter Oatmeal Muffins: Easy Vegan Baking Recipes
Even a child can make these delicious and easy vegan baking recipes! Whether you crave cookies, bars, cakes, or pies - this collection of simple vegan desserts has everything you need!
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup almond butter
- 3 heaping tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1/2 cup oats
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup filtered water
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
Instructions
- Mix the almond butter with the coconut sugar and cacao powder in a large bowl. Stir in the oats and baking soda. Gently stir in the water until everything is well mixed. You will get a mixture with a loose consistency. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes so that the oats can soak up the moisture and it thickens. In the meantime preheat your oven to 180C or 350F and grease the muffin liners with some melted coconut oil - this will prevent the muffins from sticking to the paper when you're peeling it off.
- Once the mixture has thickened, stir in the chocolate chunks.
- Fill each muffin cup with the mixture.
- Bake for about 20 minutes. The muffins shouldn't be too firm to the touch, do not overbake them. Let them cool off a bit and enjoy!
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
