Maple Cinnamon Pre-Run Muffins
I made these for mornings when I don’t want a full breakfast before a workout but still want something in me before I run or head to the gym. They’re light, easy to grab and go, and perfect for making ahead and keeping in the freezer.
Made with some of my favorite pantry staples and everything comes together in one bowl. (AD). Grab these staples and more at nowfoods.com for 20% off using my code RUNNINGONVEGGIES, good all year.
Makes 10
• 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted (NOW)
• 2/3 cup maple syrup (NOW), plus 1 tablespoon
• 4 large eggs, room temperature
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (NOW)
• 1 1/4 cups almond flour (NOW)
• 1 cup oat flour (NOW)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• Pinch of salt
• 2/3 cup old fashioned rolled oats, plus 1/4 cup extra for topping (NOW)
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a muffin tin with muffin liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla and set aside.
To the wet ingredients, add the almond flour, oat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
Add the oats and gently fold once more.
Evenly divide the batter between the muffin cups. Combine the 1/4 cup of remaining oats for topping with the remaining 1 tablespoon maple syrup and top each muffin with a sprinkle of extra oats.
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in the muffin pan, then remove the muffins and allow to cool completely.
