👩‍🍳 How to Make Egg Free Muffins

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with silicone liners or grease lightly with avocado oil.

Step 2: Make the flax “eggs”

In a small bowl, mix ground flaxseed with water. Let sit for 5–10 minutes to gel.

Step 3: Combine dry ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together oat flour, almond flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4: Add the wet ingredients

Stir in the applesauce, maple syrup, plant milk, vanilla, and flax “eggs” until well combined.

Step 5: Fold in fruit and veggies

Gently fold in shredded carrots and diced apples. Do not overmix.

Step 6: Bake

Spoon the batter into muffin cups (fill about ¾ full). Bake for 18–22 minutes for mini muffins, or 25–28 minutes for full-size muffins, until a toothpick comes out clean.

Step 7: Cool & store

Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. These muffins get softer as they sit — even better the next day!
