How do I store these oat muffins?

Store leftover muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Can I freeze my muffins?

Yes! We love to make and freeze big batches of these orange oat muffins to have on hand for a quick breakfast or easy afternoon snack. Store them in the freezer for up to 4 months.

Can I use almond flour instead of coconut flour?

Yes, you should be able to but it might take a little testing depending on what type of protein powder you use. Start with a 1:1 swap.

What can I use instead of protein powder?

Feel free to use peanut flour or chickpea flour instead of protein powder. The texture will vary slightly based on what you use, but your muffins will still be tasty!

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375° F. Line or grease a muffin pan. Set aside.
Combine the dry ingredients; the oat and coconut flours, protein powder, baking soda, starch (tapioca or arrowroot), sweetener, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the orange juice, egg, vanilla extract, oil, and milk.
Working in batches, combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients. If needed, use a hand mixer to mix the batter together until smooth. NOTE – If the batter is too dry (thick), gradually add more milk (2-4 tbsp).
Fold in the shredded coconut. Save a few tablespoons for topping. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin pan.
Sprinkle the top of each muffin with shredded coconut, and place a thinly sliced orange on top.
Bake for 18-25 minutes. Check for doneness after 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven, and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing them from the muffin pan.
Store leftover muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze up to 4 months.

Notes

Oat flour gram measurements may slightly vary based on if you made your own oat flour or store bought.

If you don’t have plant based protein, it can be substituted with 2 Tablespoons more oat flour.
