Orange, coconut and oat muffins
Background
These orange, coconut and oat muffins are healthy, vegan and gluten-free, if appropriate oats are used. The main ingredient is coconut – so coconut milk, flour, sugar and desiccated coconut is used. You can substitute the vegetable oil with coconut oil too for an even more intense taste. These muffins are moist, tasty and not too sweet.
Ingredients
- 2 blood oranges
- ½ cup coconut milk (not from tin), approx..
- 1 tsp ground flax seeds
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup cashew nuts
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 Tbsp coconut sugar
- 2 Tbsp coconut flour
- ½ cup desiccated coconut
Instructions
- Remove the skin of the oranges.
- Put the oranges, cashew nuts, milk, vanilla and cinnamon in a blender and whiz until you get a smooth purée. Add the flax seeds and rest for 5 minutes.
- Add the oat to the blender and blend again for a few seconds.
- Add the coconut sugar and coconut flour, then gently combine.
- Fold in the desiccated coconut.
- If the mixture is too thick, add more milk. If it’s too thin, add more coconut flour. The batter should be thick, but easily pourable.
- Spoon the mixture into a muffin tin, lined with paper cases or into silicon muffin cases.
- Bake the muffins for 25 minutes, until golden brown.
- Let them cool in the tin or silicon cases for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
