Easy, 1-Bowl Coconut Muffins studded with mixed berries. Tender, moist, hearty, and entirely vegan and gluten-free. The perfect healthy snack or breakfast on the go!
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C) and line a standard muffin tin with 12 (amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size) paper liners, or lightly grease.
Prepare flax eggs in a large mixing bowl by mixing water and flaxseed meal and let rest for a few minutes to "gel."
Measure out almond milk and add vinegar. Wait 3 minutes, then add baking soda and stir. Set aside.
To the flax eggs, add applesauce, vanilla (optional), melted coconut oil, maple syrup or agave, and sugar and whisk for 45 seconds. Add almond milk mixture and whisk once more.
Add salt, gluten-free flour, almond meal, shredded coconut and oats and whisk again until combined. The batter should be somewhere between thick and thin and pourable.
Toss berries in enough gluten-free flour to coat and add to the mixture. Gently stir once more.
Divide batter evenly between muffin tins (they should be generously 3/4 full). Optional: Sprinkle the tops with a bit more coconut flake and/or cane sugar. If you put additional berries on top, they sink a little.
Bake for 18-24 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the edges are golden brown. Let cool for 15 minutes in the pan, then gently remove and let cool completely on a cooling rack. NOTE: Don’t try to sample before completely cooled as they have a tendency to stick to the paper otherwise.
Will keep covered at room temperature for several days. Freeze for long-term storage.
Notes
*If you have a nut allergy, sub the almond milk for rice or hemp milk and replace the almond meal with a mix of rolled oats and gluten-free or regular flour of choice. *You can substitute an equal amount of our NEW 1:1 gluten-free flour blend for the gluten-free flour blend in this recipe. *If not gluten-free, sub the gluten-free flour blend for whole wheat, whole-wheat pastry, or spelt flour! Final results will likely vary from pictures. *Nutrition information is a rough estimate. *Recipe loosely adapted from my 1 Bowl Vegan GF Carrot Apple Muffins!
