A delicious, filling muffin that is sweetened naturally with maple syrup and dates and made in just a few simple steps. This is a great after school snack or breakfast on the go!
Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
  • 3 pitted dates
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 cup quick cooking oats
  • 2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup organic apple sauce
  • 1 tbsp coconut butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup raisins or dried cherries (or other dried fruit)
  • 1/4 cup organic shredded coconut
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
  2. Add the milk and dates to the blender and blend until it's mixed well
  3. Add the water and chia seeds to a small bowl, mix, and let it sit for one minute
  4. Add the remaining ingredients to a large bowl
  5. Pour milk, and chia seed mixtures into the large bowl and mix everything together well
  6. Spray a muffin tin with non-stick spray
  7. Fill about 3/4 of the way full
  8. Bake for 30 minutes, or until cooked through
Notes
If you do not have coconut butter, you could sub with coconut oil or vegan or regular butter. I use Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free rolled oats, and quick cooking oats, and So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk. Use an organic shredded coconut, or Bob's Red Mill brand. Many others have additives and preservatives in them.
