Ingredients:
1 cup oat flour (you can make this by adding oats to a blender and blending until they reach a flour-like consistency)
1 cup brown rice flour
1/4 cup tapioca starch
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cardamom
4 flax eggs (combine 4 tbsp ground flaxseed with 12 tbsp water, mix and allow to sit until thickened-you make need to mix every few minutes to make sure the flax doesn't sink to the bottom)
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 tbsp oil ( I used avocado, but coconut oil would work well too)
1/4 cup plant-based milk (I used unsweetened almond)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/2-1 cup roughly chopped walnuts (I like more walnuts so I used closer to a cup - omit if avoiding nuts)
3/4 cup dried cranberries
Method:
1. Preheat your oven to 350F.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all of your dry ingredients except for the cranberries and walnuts. Whisk thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
3. Add your wet ingredients to separate, smaller bowl. Quickly give the wet ingredients a mix and then pour that mixture into your dry ingredient bowl.
4. You may need to switch over to a spatula from a whisk to combine the wet and dry ingredients. Make sure to scrape the bottom to make sure all of the dry ingredients are well incorporated.
5. Fold in your walnuts and cranberries. Make sure they are distributed evenly throughout the batter.
6. Take a greased muffin pan (I use an avocado oil spray to grease mine), and spoon in the batter to the tins. Try to fill each tray about 3/4 to the top.
7. Pop into the oven and bake for 25 minutes. Your oven temperature may vary, so be sure to keep an eye to make sure they don't overbake.
8. Allow to cool for about 10-15 minutes before removing from the muffin tins. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Once totally cool, store in an airtight container at room temperature. These make for a great snack on the go or a quick breakfast. I like to cut them in half and spread some nut butter on either side. You can also store these in the freezer and heat up in the microwave when you are craving a muffin.
