Batter Ingredients
- 1¾ cups oat flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (preferably FAGE Total 2%)
- ½ cup milk of choice
- 5 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons coconut flour
Crumble Topping
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with silicone or paper liners to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Prepare the Crumble Topping: In a small bowl, combine coconut flour, brown sugar, melted butter or coconut oil, and cinnamon. Mix until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Set aside to use as the topping.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and half a cup of brown sugar until smooth. Add the Greek yogurt, milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully combined and creamy.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together oat flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon to evenly distribute the leavening and spice.
- Form the Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or spoon just until no lumps remain. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
- Fill the Muffin Pan: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
- Add Crumble Topping: Evenly sprinkle the prepared crumble topping over each muffin to add a crunchy, sweet finish.
- Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 22 to 24 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean when the muffins are ready.
- Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use Greek yogurt with at least 2% fat for best moisture and texture.
- Oat flour can be substituted with whole wheat pastry flour if oat flour is unavailable.
- The crumble topping can be made vegan by using coconut oil instead of butter.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- Freeze muffins individually and thaw for a quick breakfast option.
- To make it diabetic-friendly, reduce brown sugar and consider a sugar substitute.
