Notes
HOW TO MAKE OAT FLOUR: Measure out 1 1/4 cups + 2 tablespoons quick oats and pulse in a food processor into flour consistency. Check out the full tutorial here.
VEGAN - These have not been vegan tested, but would love to hear if you try. I'd recommend using 1.5 tablespoons flaxseed meal + 1/4 cup water; let sit for 5-10 minutes before incorporating.
STORAGE - Leftover muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature with a strip of parchment paper for up to 3 days.
FREEZE - Place in a zip top freezer bag or freezer-safe airtight container. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw to room temperature before enjoying!
