Spiced Oat Bran Muffins
2 c. Oat Bran (4 c. Rolled oats)
1 tsp. Sea salt
2 tsp. Baking powder
½ tsp. Cinnamon
¼ tsp. Ground Cloves
¼ tsp. Ginger powder
1 tsp. pure Stevia
2 c. Coconut or Almond milk
½ c. unsweetened organic Applesauce
¼ c. Pasture-Raised Ghee or Coconut oil
1 high pastured Egg or 2 Egg whites
½ c. Sunflower seeds (opt.)
Preheat oven to 425 degrees and grease or line muffin tins.
If using rolled oats, grind them in blender to give them crumbly consistency of oat bran. You can also substitute 1/3 c. dried figs for the applesauce.
Mix the oats with salt, baking powder, spices, stevia and sunflower seeds in a large mixing bowl.
In a small saucepan, bring the milk to a boil. Pour milk and all the wet ingredients into blender and blend until mixed well, and figs (if using) are incorporated.
Carefully pour liquid into dry ingredients and stir quickly using a minimum of strokes to avoid making muffins tough.
Fill muffin tins 2/3 - 3/4 full. Bake for 20-25 mins or until done.
~ Good with hot tea. ♥
