Ingredients

FOR THE MUFFINS

2 eggs (for the vegan option, use 2 flax eggs - 2 tablespoon ground flaxseed whisked with 6 tablespoon of water and set aside for 10-15 minutes)
6 tablespoon melted butter (for the vegan option, use vegan butter)
½ cup 2% milk (for the vegan option, use a plant-based milk - I used Oatly brand oat milk)
¼ cup plus 2 tablespoon coconut sugar
¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
¼ cup honey (for the vegan option, use pure maple syrup)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2¼ cup whole grain, gluten-free oat flour (I used Bob’s Red Mill)
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda

FOR THE TOPPING

2 teaspoon gluten-free oats (I used Bob's Red Mill)
1 tablespoon melted butter (for the vegan option, use vegan butter)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350° F.
Line a muffin tin with 12 baking cups. I recommend using parchment ones.
Whisk together eggs (or flax eggs), melted butter, milk of choice, coconut sugar, applesauce, honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, mix gluten-free oat flour, cinnamon, salt and baking soda.
Stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients.
Fill baking cups with batter until used up.
Top each muffin with gluten-free oats.
Using a pastry brush, coat the top of each muffin with melted butter.
Bake for 22-24 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.

Notes

Muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

For the vegan version, the muffins will remain nut-free using a plant-based milk that is not derived from nuts as well as a vegan butter that is not derived from nuts.
