Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your muffins bake evenly and rise properly.
- Prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing it with a little coconut oil to prevent the muffins from sticking.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of chickpea flour, 1 tsp of baking powder, and 1/2 tsp of salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well combined and free of lumps.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the wet ingredients: pour in 1/2 cup of almond milk, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil, and 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract. Stir these ingredients until they are fully blended.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the two mixtures together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- If desired, you can add mix-ins at this point, such as nuts, seeds, or dried fruit, to enhance the flavor and texture of your muffins.
- Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full to allow for rising.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your grain-free vegan chickpea flour muffins as a delicious snack or breakfast option!
Tips
- Preheat for Perfection: Always preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) before you start mixing your ingredients. This ensures that your muffins bake evenly and rise beautifully.
- Mixing Matters: When combining your dry and wet ingredients, be gentle! Overmixing can lead to dense muffins. It’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy; that’s what makes them light and fluffy.
- Customize Your Muffins: Feel free to add your favorite mix-ins like chopped nuts, seeds, or dried fruits to elevate the flavor and texture. Just fold them in gently with the batter.
- Don’t Overfill: When pouring the batter into the muffin tin, fill each cup about 2/3 full. This allows enough room for the muffins to rise without overflowing.
- Cooling is Key: Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set properly and makes them easier to remove.
- Storage Tips: Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or freeze them for longer-lasting freshness.Enjoy baking these delightful muffins and savor every bite of your healthy creation!
