How to Make Pancake Muffins

Step 1:

In a large mixing bowl, sift oat flour and whole wheat flour, then add baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine.

Step 2:

Get a separate bowl, then add the eggs, buttermilk, applesauce, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine.

Step 3:

Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Gently stir until just combined. A few lumps are fine, they will make the muffins fluffier. Make sure not to overmix it. Set aside for 5 minutes. While waiting, grease a muffin tin or line with muffin liners.

Step 4:

Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full with batter, then sprinkle 1 tablespoon of your favorite toppings on top, pressing them down lightly.

Step 5:

Place inside a 375F oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center. Once done baking, transfer the muffins to a wire rack and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Serve warm with a glass of milk or yogurt. Enjoy!
