A Friendly Vegan

I’m all for baked goods when I wake up and head for that magnificent cup of iced coffee, but I’m also the kind of person that likes everything made at home.

I like to know what goes in my food, even if that takes 1 hour instead of the 3 minutes it takes you to grab a muffin from the bakery and pay for it.

These are super good and came out delicious at the first try. I like to grab one in the morning or before hitting the gym!

Servings: 10 | Calories: 94 | Author: Rita Santos

Ingredients:

• 120 g Steel Cut Oats;
• 60 g White Flour;
• 1 scoop (roughly 16 g) of any Vegan Protein Powder
  • I used Prozis Organic Vegan Banana & Walnut Protein;

• 150 ML of Vanilla Soy Milk;
• 150 ML of Applesauce
  • I made this sauce at home, it’s naturally sweet / no added sugars.

• 1 tbsp Maple Syrup;
• 2 tsp cinnamon;
• 1 tsp baking soda;
• 10 g walnuts;
• (Optional) 10g Raisins

Instructions:

1. Place the oats on a food processor and give it a few pulses – I like to feel chunks of oats instead of powdering them completely. This is completely up to you. If you don’t like the texture, let the processor do its job for a bit longer!
2. Pre-heat the oven at 200 Cº / 392 Fº.
3. In a bowl, combine oats, flour, protein powder, baking soda, cinnamon.
4. Next, add applesauce and soy milk as well as maple syrup. I personally like my muffins not very sweet, but feel free to add more sweetener.
5. After everything is evenly combined, divide in two bowls: One will have the walnuts added, the other will have the raisins. If opting out of raisins, ignore this step and the next.
6. Line a muffin tin with parchment paper and fill at about 80%, for the muffins will rise.
7. Place them in the oven for around 30 to 40 minutes. Depending on the oven, it can take more or less time.
8. Remove them and wait for them to cool off, if you resist their heavenly smell!

These will be super moist and chewy. I put them in a airtight container on the fridge, that keeps them perfect for about 3 to 4 days. Enjoy!
