Ingredients
1 flax or chia egg* (vegan egg)
½ cup (125ml) unsweetened almond milk yoghurt
¼ cup (60ml) unsweetened almond milk
⅓–½ cup (80-120ml) maple syrup
⅓ cup (83ml) unsweetened apple sauce or 1 mashed banana
2 cups (240g) gluten-free oat flour
1–2 tablespoons Fubuki Culinary Organic Matcha
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups (250g) fresh red raspberries, rinsed, patted dry
*Vegan egg: create an egg-like texture by mixing 1 tablespoon of flax or chia seeds with 3 teaspoons of water and let set for 10 minutes.
Method
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a muffin tray with patty pans.
- Place the flax egg, almond milk, yoghurt, almond milk, maple syrup, and apple sauce into a large bowl and mix.
- Add the sifted oat flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and combine well.
- Scoop the batter into each muffin cup until ⅔ rds full. Top each muffin with 3-4 raspberries.
- Bake until the muffins have cooked through and are springy to touch. This should take between 25-30 minutes. The raspberry juices should have baked off by then.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Note: These muffins can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 5-7 days or longer in the freezer.
