Healthier Orange Almond Flour Muffins
These orange almond flour muffins are made healthier using Greek yogurt, oat flour and maple syrup. They're fluffy, moist and come together quickly in one bowl!
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup maple syrup (or honey)
- 4 tbs olive oil
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp almond extract (optional)
- 1 tbs orange zest
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 cups oat flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Garnish: powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Line a 12 slot muffin tray with muffin liners or spray with oil or grease with butter.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, maple syrup, olive oil, vanilla, almond extract and orange zest. Next, mix in the yogurt. Then add in almond flour, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and mix until combined. Transfer batter to muffin slots filling 3/4 way full. Bake for 22 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
