Ingredients
Cinnamon Raisin Muffins:
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups oat flour
- ⅓ cup arrowroot flour
- 1 ½ cup almond flour
- ⅔ cup date sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup raisins
- 2 tablespoon ground flaxseed for the flax egg
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- ⅔ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 ¼ cup plant based milk
- 6 tablespoon water for the flax egg
Cinnamon Sugar Streusel:
- ¼ cup raw cashew butter can sub applesauce
- ½ cup date sugar
- ¼ cup almond flour
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoon raisins
Maple Glaze:
- ⅓ cup coconut butter
- 3 tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350. While the oven is preheating, go ahead and make the flax egg by combining the ground flaxseed and water together and setting it aside for about 10 minutes.
- Sift all the dry ingredients except the raisins together in a large bowl. Mix until evenly combined. Add the wet ingredients (including the flax egg) and mix until a smooth batter is achieved. Pour in the raisins and mix until evenly distributed. Set aside.
- Make the cinnamon sugar streusel by combining all ingredients together in a small bowl and mixing until a crumble is formed. You can add additional raisins to the top if you would like.
- Prepare the muffin pan with muffin cups and scoop the muffin batter into the prepared muffin pan using an ice cream scoop. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar streusel on top of each muffin and place in the oven to bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown on top.
- While the muffins are baking, make the maple glaze by combining the maple syrup and coconut butter together in a small bowl or cup and mixing until smooth. Once the muffins are done, allow them to cool a little bit on a wire rack before topping them with the maple glaze. Serve and enjoy!
