Ingredients

• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Peanut butter (natural, creamy or chunky)
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Flaxseed meal
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped peanuts (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the flaxseed meal and water. Stir and let it sit for 5 minutes until it thickens into a flax 'egg'.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 4

In a separate mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and maple syrup. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Add the almond milk, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar to the wet mixture. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

If desired, fold in the dark chocolate chips to add a touch of sweetness.

Step 8

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Optionally, sprinkle the tops with chopped peanuts for extra crunch.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
