Ingredients
Topping
1/4 cup (20g) rolled oats
2 1/2 tablespoons (20g) all purpose flour
2 1/2 tablespoons (18g) almonds, sliced or diced
2 tablespoons (22g) light brown sugar, lightly packed
1/8 teaspoon (0.75g) sea salt, fine
1 1/2 teaspoons (3g) cinnamon
1 1/2 tablespoons (21g) coconut oil, softened
1 tablespoon (9g) flaxseeds
Muffins
1 3/4 cup (165g) whole rolled oats
2 cups (250g) all purpose flour
1 1/2 (9g) teaspoon sea salt, fine
1 teaspoon (6g) baking powder
1/4 teaspoon (1.25g) baking soda
1 cup + 2 tablespoons (210g) light brown sugar, lightly packed
1 can (13.5 fl oz, 398ml) coconut milk or milk of choice
2 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup (113g) coconut oil, softened
2 teaspoons (4g) cinnamon, ground
1 teaspoon (4g) vanilla extract
Instructions
Topping
1. Mix all the ingredients together and place in the fridge until ready to use.
Muffins
1. Line a muffin tin with liners and grease the tops of the tin.
2. Place rolled oats in a food processor and process into a fine meal, about 30-45 seconds. Place in a bowl with the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk together.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar and softened coconut oil together until smooth. Add the coconut milk and eggs and whisk until well combined.
4. Using a whisk, gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet, making sure to break up the clumps. Set the batter aside for 20 minutes. Oats have a harder time absorbing moisture than all purpose flour, and so letting the batter sit for 20 minutes allows the oats to have plenty of time to soften.
5. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
6. Divide batter evenly into each muffin cup. Each muffin cup will be filled to the brim with batter. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the muffins. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
7. Cool muffins in the tin on a wire rack for about 10-15 minutes. Remove and serve or let the muffins come to room temperature and freeze.
