🥣 Ingredients You’ll Need

This makes 12 mini muffins or 8 standard-sized muffins.
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup oat flour (or finely ground oats)
- ½ cup almond flour (or use gluten-free all-purpose if nut-free)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients:
- ¾ cup unsweetened applesauce
- ¼ cup maple syrup or mashed banana
- ⅓ cup dairy-free milk (like oat or almond milk)
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed + 5 tbsp water (egg replacer)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

👩🍳 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!
