FAQs

Can I substitute the peanut butter with almond butter?

Yes, you can easily substitute peanut butter with almond butter or any other nut butter of your choice. This will still yield delicious results.

Can I use a different type of flour instead of oat flour?

If you don’t have oat flour, you can substitute it with whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour. However, if you want to keep it gluten-free, oat flour is the best option.

Can I add other mix-ins to these muffins?

Absolutely! You can add other mix-ins such as chopped nuts, dried fruits, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor. Just be mindful not to overload the batter so the muffins retain their soft texture.

Are these muffins dairy-free?

These muffins are not dairy-free as they contain Greek yogurt, which is a dairy product. However, you can use a dairy-free yogurt alternative if you’d like to make them dairy-free.

How do I know when the muffins are done?

The muffins are done when they are golden brown, puffed up, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick has wet batter on it, continue baking for a few more minutes.

Can I use sugar instead of honey or maple syrup?

Yes, you can use regular sugar, but honey or maple syrup is recommended because it adds moisture and natural sweetness that enhances the texture and flavor of the muffins.

Can I freeze these muffins?

Yes, these muffins freeze very well! Allow them to cool completely, then store them in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months. To thaw, simply leave them at room temperature for a few hours or microwave for a quick snack.

How many calories are in one muffin?

Each muffin contains approximately 180 calories, making it a great option for a satisfying snack or breakfast without going overboard on calories.

Can I make these muffins vegan?

To make these muffins vegan, substitute the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 3 tablespoons water, mixed and allowed to sit for a few minutes) and use a dairy-free yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey.
