⅓ cup grapeseed, avocado oil or melted coconut oil
⅓ cup (60g) unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup (240ml) nondairy milk (I used almond)
⅔ cup diced pitted dates
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Spray a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick spray or use muffin liners.
Whisk the flour, wheat bran, flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together in a large bowl until combined. Set aside.
Whisk the egg, honey, maple syrup, oil, applesauce, vanilla, and milk together in a medium bowl until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and whisk to combine. Now use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to fold in the dates.
Spoon the batter evenly into liners, filling them all the way to the top. Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F, then, keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C). Bake for an additional 14–15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.. Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the muffin pan, then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling. This batter makes 10-12 muffins. Enjoy!
*Note: you can sub in raisins, dried fruit and nuts for the dates.
