Step 6: To make the oat flour, add the old-fashioned oats to your blender or food processor and blend until they form a fine powder. Move your mixture around constantly with a spatula as you blend the oats.

Step 7: Add the oat flour to the other ingredients and whisk for 2-3 minutes or until your batter is free of lumps.

Step 8: Grease a muffin tin with coconut oil or non-stick spray. Pour batter into the tin, filling each cup about ¾ of the way with the muffin batter.

Step 9: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Tips & Tricks

Use a cookie scoop or an ice cream scoop to measure and fill your muffin cups easily with no mess.
Mix in some chocolate chips before putting the batter in the muffin cups. Pumpkin chocolate chip is a delicious combination.
If using muffin liners, spray a little cooking spray on the inside of each one before adding the batter. This will help ensure that the liners don’t stick to your cake.
