6 servings

Ingredients

  • gluten-free rolled oats
    2 c
  • baking soda
    ½ tsp
  • salt
    ½ tsp
  • cinnamon

    optional, but recommended

    ¼ tsp
  • maple syrup)

    or honey (if not vegan

    ⅓ c
  • avocado oil

    or melted coconut oil

    ¼ c
  • almond butter
    2 tbsp
  • vanilla extract
    1 tsp
  • strawberry jam
    6 tsp

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease 6 muffin cups of a nonstick muffin tin.

  2. 2

    Add the gluten-free rolled oats, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, maple syrup, avocado oil, almond butter, and vanilla extract in the bowl of a food processor. Process on low to medium until you have smaller pieces of oats and a thick dough forms.

  3. 3

    Put half of the oat mixture into the bottoms of 6 muffin cups (about 2 tablespoons per muffin cup), so that it fills the bottom completely. The dough will be sticky; put some cooking spray or lightly wet your fingers to help with the stickiness.

  4. 4

    Make a slight indention with the back of a teaspoon in the middle of each cup. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the strawberry filling onto the center indention of each base leaving room around the edges.

  5. 5

    Divide the remaining oat mixture and place on top of each muffin cup, pressing down gently to seal the edges.

  6. 6

    Bake for 16-18 minutes. Allow cups to cool for 10 minutes in the pan before removing and transferring to a wire cooling rack. Use a knife to help loosen the edges of the cups.

Customization & Variations
