Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ⅔ cup white sugar
• ⅓ cup chopped walnuts
• ½ cup oat bran
• 1 pinch kosher salt
• ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
• ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
• 6 tablespoons cocoa powder
• ½ cup quinoa flour

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 8 muffin cups with paper liners.

Step 3

Mix white sugar, quinoa flour, oat bran, almond milk, cocoa powder, walnuts, coconut oil, egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and kosher salt together in a bowl until batter is smooth. Let batter sit for 10 minutes to allow oat bran to absorb liquids.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool muffins in tin for 5 minutes before removing.
