Equipment

  • Food Processor (if starting with whole oats)
  • Muffin Pan

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup organic sugar (for sweeter muffins add an extra ¼ cup of sugar)
  • 1 cup vegan milk (we used unsweetened soy)
  • ½ cup tahini
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice (juice from 1 lemon)

Dry Ingredients

  • cups rolled oats (you need 3 total cups of oats for this recipe)
  • ¼ cup arrowroot powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt

Extra Ingredients to Fold in

  • ½ cup rolled oats (you need 3 total cups of oats for this recipe)
  • 2 cups blueberries

Instructions

  • Oil the muffin tray and preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • In a food processor add all "Dry Ingredients" and process until it's very fine, about 2 minutes on high speed.
  • In a large mixing bowl stir together all "Wet Ingredients".
  • Add the "Dry Ingredients" from the food processor into the "Wet Ingredients" in the large mixing bowl, and stir until combined.
  • Add ½ cup of rolled oats and 2 cups of blueberries to the large mixing bowl. Stir just enough to fold them in.
  • Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes. When the edges and tops are starting to brown, then they're done.
  • Let the muffins cool in the muffin pan for 20 minutes before removing them.

Notes

These muffins are not overly sweet.  We really enjoy them with a lemon glaze! To make the glaze simply stir together:
  1. Juice from half of a lemon
  2. 1/4 cup + 1 Tbsp powdered sugar
Alternatively if you prefer sweeter muffins you can add more sugar into the batter.  Or perhaps drizzle some maple syrup on them, yummm!
