Muffin Selai Kacang dan Jeli (Vegan + GF)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C) and line a standard muffin tin with 12 paper liners, or lightly grease and flour (with GF flour) and shake out excess (which I found to work well!).
2. Prepare flax eggs in a large mixing bowl by mixing flaxseed meal and water and let rest for a few minutes.
3. Add maple syrup, coconut sugar, oil and whisk vigorously to combine and dissolve sugar crystals.
4. Add applesauce, peanut butter, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and apple cider vinegar and whisk to combine.
5. Add almond milk and whisk again to combine.
6. Lastly, add gluten free flour, almond meal, and oats and whisk or stir until just combined. The batter should be quite thick but NOT pourable – rather, scoopable.
7. Pour batter into muffin tins a generous 3/4 full and top with 3/4 tsp strawberry jam and 1/4 tsp more peanut butter. Swirl with a toothpick to distribute (see photo), being careful not to get the jam too close to the edges or it can seep over while baking and get too browned.
8. Bake on a center-positioned rack for 26-32 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (be sure to poke a spot that isn’t too jam heavy or you can get a little residual moisture).
9. Let cool for 20 minutes in the pan (to continue baking/firming up a little), then loosen with a butter knife and gently lift out, using the knife to help if needed, to let cool completely on a plate. Can be a little tender before completely cooled, so be patient my young ones!
10. Will keep covered at room temperature for several days. Freeze for long-term storage.
