Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup cane sugar
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 Tbsp flaxseed meal (ground flax seeds)
- 1 cup filtered water
- 1/3 cup organic cane sugar (or substitute coconut sugar)
- 1/4 cup melted vegan butter (such as Miyoko’s or Earth Balance)
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups almond flour (e.g., Wellbee’s)
- 3/4 cup potato starch (NOT potato flour)
- 1/3 cup brown rice flour
- 2 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard muffin tin with unbleached, brown paper baking cups.
- In a small bowl, combine the cane sugar and cinnamon and mix thoroughly to create the cinnamon sugar swirl mixture. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flaxseed meal and filtered water. Let this sit for 5 minutes to thicken, then whisk in the organic cane sugar, melted vegan butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add almond flour, potato starch, brown rice flour, baking powder, and sea salt to the wet mixture. Mix until the batter becomes smooth and thick.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of batter into each muffin cup and spread slightly. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of the prepared cinnamon sugar over each portion. Divide the remaining batter evenly into the muffin cups and top each with another 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon sugar.
- Bake the muffins for 28 to 33 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove muffins from the oven and let cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days, refrigerate for 4-5 days, or freeze for up to 1 month.
