Oat Flour Chocolate Chip Muffins
Description
The muffins use oat flour combined with baking powder and salt for the dry base. Wet ingredients include kefir, melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract, which come together to form a somewhat thin batter with some small lumps. After folding in mini chocolate chips, the batter is chilled for an hour to help the muffins hold together and develop better structure. Baking starts at a high temperature for 5 minutes to create lift, then lowers to finish baking evenly. The cane sugar sprinkled on top adds a delicate crispness to the muffin tops. Cooling the muffins in the pan briefly before transferring to a rack ensures they set properly. These muffins have a tender crumb with chocolate chip bursts throughout.
Ingredients
- 2 cups oat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup coconut sugar
- 3/4 cup Kefir organic, plain
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
- 2 egg at room temperature, large
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon cane sugar raw organic
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together all the ingredients up to the chocolate chips.
- Add the dry ingredients into the wet and whisk until just moistened—the batter should have some very small lumps. Gently fold in the chocolate chips. The batter will seem quite thin.
- Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Once chilled, preheat your oven to 450°F and spray a muffin pan with cooking spray.
- Scoop the batter into 10 cavities, filling them about 2/3 of the way full. Sprinkle with the cane sugar.
- Bake for 5 minutes. Then, reduce the temperature to 375°F and cook an additional 15-17 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for 30 minutes. Then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Serve and enjoy!
