Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups oat flour be sure it’s certified gluten free (See Note)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
- Grated zest of 2 lemons
- ¾ cup unsweetened applesauce
- ½ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- ½ cup coconut palm sugar or brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil or canola oil
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat a muffin tin with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking soda and salt. Stir in the poppy seeds and lemon zest.
- In a large bowl, combine the applesauce, Greek yogurt, coconut palm sugar, canola oil, egg and lemon juice. Stir together until the mixture is smooth.
- Stir the dry ingredients into the applesauce mixture until combined. Do not overmix.
- Scoop the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of one of the muffins comes out clean, 12 to 14 minutes.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack and allow to cool completely. Serve or store in an airtight container.
Notes
- Note: Oat flour can be purchased in many well-stocked grocery stores and health food stores. I like the Bob’s Red Mill brand. It is also easy to make oat flour at home from old-fashioned oats. See How to Make Oat Flour.
