Ingredients
- 3 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 cup maple syrup (preferably dark syrup for its robust flavour)
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 cup vegan milk substitute (almond, coconut, or soy)
- Juice and zest of one lemon
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cup walnuts or almonds, chopped
Method
- Preheat oven to 180° C (350° F), rack in centre position. Place paper liners in 12 muffin cups.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt. Add the maple syrup and melted coconut oil.
- Gradually add the milk substitute, lemon juice and zest, and the vanilla, stirring with a wooden spoon just enough to moisten the mixture without developing gluten. Add the nuts.
- Put heaping ice cream scoops of batter into the muffin cups. Bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove from oven and allow the muffins to cool slightly before taking them out of the tin.
