I try not to do too much baking since I don't have a lot of self control and usually end up eating half of what ever I've baked in the first day only to finish off the rest the next day. Once in a while the urge to bake is too strong and I can't say no. Today was just such a day so I decided to bake some blueberry muffins. I did my best to keep them healthy without loosing any flavor.
Ingredients:
1 cup old fashioned oats
1 cup almond milk (or other vegan milk)
1 tbsp ground flax seed + 2 tbsp water
1 cup wheat flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp chia seeds
2 tbsp hemp seeds
1 tbsp ground flax seeds
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup sugar
1 tbsp agave syrup
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
1 1/3 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
Directions
Preheat oven to 400F.
Combine milk, vanilla, agave syrup and oats in a bowl, set aside for about 10 minutes, or until the oats have soaked up the liquid.
Mix 1 tbsp ground flax seed with 2 tbsp water and set aside for about 5 minutes or until it thickens.
Combine flour, chia seeds, hemp seeds, 1 tbsp dry, ground flax seeds, salt, sugar, baking soda, and baking powder. Mix well then add walnuts and oat mixture.
Once your batter is well mixed stir in blueberries
Spoon batter into lightly oiled or paper lined (paper muffin cups) muffin tins and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
These look rustic in an altogether beautiful way, too many poncey pretty cupcakes out there at the moment, give me something that looks like something i can actually make anyday! These sound delicious and dangerously addictive...but as you say, healthy so no problemo! :)
ReplyDeleteBlueberry season is just around the corner for us- I love addition of chia & hemp seeds. Definitely making these once the blueberries are in!
ReplyDeleteThese look great! I couldn't help but laugh at the title "Hippie Muffins." After reading the ingredients, I can see why. And I love them all!
ReplyDeleteahhh i love muffins! love the rustic muffin tops you have!! hahaha i know what u mean. that's why i always bake when i know i'm going to see people, so i can distribute the wealth :).
ReplyDeleteI think you guys will all really like this recipe. These muffins are so tasty and incredibly easy to make.
ReplyDeletethese are the best muffins i've made in awhile!
ReplyDeletei did use an egg instead of a flax egg (but still added the 1 T ground flax in the dry), and i used brown sugar, and half raspberries/half blueberries.
definitely a keeper recipe :)
