But they&#8217;re so easy, and so good, and also gluten and dairy-free, so I thought I&#8217;d pass the recipe along:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>3\u00a0cups\u00a0gluten-free oats<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 can organic coconut cream (I get mine from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azurestandard.com\/?a_aid=dN4YBZcMTV\">Azure Standard<\/a>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1\/2 cup\u00a0unsweetened applesauce (*see note)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00bd\u00a0cup\u00a0creamy natural peanut butter &#8211; divided and softened (you can use crunchy too!)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1\/3\u00a0cup\u00a0maple syrup, honey, or a combination of both<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2\u00a0large\u00a0eggs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1\u00a0teaspoon\u00a0baking powder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1\u00a0teaspoon\u00a0vanilla extract<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00bd\u00a0teaspoon\u00a0salt<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00bc\u00a0cup\u00a0mini semisweet chocolate chips, nuts, or whatever else you want in there!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mix the oats, coconut cream, and applesauce in a medium bowl.  Let sit for 30-60 minutes to soften the oats.  You can also pulverize the oats in a blender before mixing them with the liquids if you want a less oatmeal-y texture in the finished product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs, add the maple syrup and vanilla, and stir,  and then add 1\/4 cup of the peanut butter.  Mix as best you can at this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add the baking powder and salt to the oats mixture and stir well. Then add the rest of the separate liquid to the oat mixture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.  Line a muffin tin with parchment muffin papers.  Fill each muffin space halfway with the batter.  Top with a dollop of the remaining peanut butter for each muffin, and sprinkle with a few chocolate chips on top of the peanut butter.  Then top off each muffin with more batter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bake until a knife or toothpick comes out clean when poked in the center of the muffin &#8211; about 25 minutes.  Pull them out of the oven and let them rest in the muffin tin for about 5-10 minutes and then pull them out of the tin to cool on a wire rack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NOTES:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I like coconut cream in this recipe but you can use canned coconut milk or any other non-dairy milk.  If you&#8217;re not worried about being dairy-free, whole milk can be used too. About 1 3\/4 cups worth of milk works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I like to keep the small individual cups of apple sauce for recipes so I don&#8217;t have to open a whole jar which we probably won&#8217;t end up eating and then have to throw away. I think I save money this way. Maybe not! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The way these are made gives you a nice gooey peanut butter\/chocolate center of the muffin, but you can also just mix in all the peanut butter and chips before filling the muffin cups too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I buy almost all of the products I used in this recipe from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azurestandard.com\/?a_aid=dN4YBZcMTV\">Azure Standard<\/a>. It&#8217;s quickly becoming the main place I buy the food for my family, supplementing with local farms or grocery stores as needed. Azure likely has a drop relatively close to your home OR they also ship directly to you too.  It&#8217;s great for bulk buying grains, beans, flours, salts, canned goods, etc.  I love it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let me know what you think of the recipe if you make it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These moist, delicious muffins are really just baked oatmeal, muffin style.
