Energize Your Morning With These Vegan and Dairy Free Chocolate Oatmeal Muffins
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and grease or paper a 12-cup muffin tin.
In a large bowl, stir together dry ingredients: flours, cocoa powder, baking powder, sugar, salt.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the prepared flax egg (or egg), oatmeal, milk and coconut oil. Make sure to mash the oatmeal to break up any clumps.
Add the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients, and stir to combine. Depending on how wet your oatmeal was, you may want to add a dash more milk - consistency should be pretty dense. Fold in the chocolate chips, if using.
Scoop batter evenly among the wells of the muffin tin** and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of one of the muffins comes out clean.
Wait until cooled, if dusting with icing sugar. Best served fresh from the oven!
Note
*Note: To make a flax egg, stir to combine 1 TB ground flax seeds with 3TB water and allow to sit until thickened, from 5-15 minutes. Use instead of an egg.
**This muffin is quite dense due to the oatmeal, and won't rise very much. For a more Instagram-worthy muffin, smooth them out before popping into the oven!
