Ingredients

1 tbsp ground flax seeds + 2 tbsp water
1 cup flour all-purpose or white whole wheat flour
¾ cup rolled oats
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
⅓ cup maple syrup
⅓ cup coconut oil melted, or apple sauce (see note)
¼ cup vegan milk
1 cup fresh peach unpeeled and diced

Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 375º. Line a muffin pan with 8 paper liners.
In a small bowl, combine the flax seed with the water, stir and set aside until ready to use.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats and baking powder. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, add the coconut oil and melt in the microwave for about 1 minute or so (or until completely melted). Then, add the flax seed mixture, maple syrup, vanilla extract and vegan milk. Stir to combine.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones and stir until just combined (avoid overmixing). Then, fold in gently the diced peaches.
Divide the batter in between the prepared 8 muffin tins and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a tooth pick comes out clean.

Notes

How to store: Let the muffins completely cool down, then transfer to an air-tight container and store for up to 5 days in the fridge. I like to slightly warm them up before eating after resting in the fridge for a while. These muffins can also be frozen.
How to make them oil-free: I did try them out swapping the coconut oil for apple sauce (same amount). Although the texture was a little better with the oil, they were still very good!
How to make them gluten-free: you can try using a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour instead of the wheat flour.
How to make them nut-free: make sure to use a nut-free vegan milk, like oat milk.
