Healthy oat and raspberry muffins: vegan, tender raspberry oat muffins with crunchy streusel, ready in 30 minutes.
Ingredients
2 cups/240g all-purpose flour
2 tsp/8g baking powder
1/2 tsp/2g baking soda
1/2 tsp/3g salt
2/3 cup/132g granulated sugar
6 tbsp/90ml unsweetened applesauce
3/4 cup/180ml oat milk
6 tbsp/90ml neutral oil (canola, vegetable, sunflower, etc)
1 tbsp/15ml apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
1 tsp/5ml vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups/240g fresh raspberries, washed and dried
1/2 cup/50g rolled oats
Streusel:
1/4 cup/50g light brown sugar
1/4 cup/25g rolled oats
1/4 cup/30g all-purpose flour
2 tbsp/30ml neutral oil
2 tsp/10ml water
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F/175 C. Line ½ cup/120ml wells in a muffin pan with liners.
Make the streusel:
In a small bowl combine the sugar, oats, and flour. Stir to distribute everything evenly.
Pour in the oil and water. Use a fork to stir vigorously until everything is wet and forms crumbles.
Make the muffins:
In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir to evenly distribute everything. Mixing all the dry ingredients ahead of time will reduce the amount of stirring needed and lead to more tender muffins.
In a large bowl, combine the sugar, apple sauce, and oil. Beat with a hand mixer on low speed (or a hand whisk) until smooth and well combined.
Add the oat milk, vinegar, and vanilla extract. Beat until combined.
Add the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Do not over mix.
Fold in the raspberries and rolled oats.
Scoop into prepared muffin wells, filling each with 1/4"/6mm space remaining.
Sprinkle the streusel mixture on each muffin.
Bake for 20-22 minutes until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
Allow to cool in the pan for at least 5 minutes before removing and allow to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Best the same day. Store in the fridge for up to three (3) days and reheat before eating.
Notes
Handy equipment tip: an ice cream scoop (or cookie scoop) makes filling the muffin cups quicker and more even, especially if you’re using paper liners in a muffin tin/muffin tray.
