Chef's Notes
Substitutions Instead of oat flour use whole wheat flour.
Substitute ¼ of the oat flour with teff flour.
Use applesauce in place of banana.
Substitute almond butter for tahini.
Whole Food Sweetener Substitute date paste for coconut sugar, but add it to the “wet ingredients.” Also, you will only need ¾ cup plant-based milk instead of 1 cup when you substitute date paste for coconut sugar.
Flour-free Sorry BLE members, we don’t have a flour-free option for this recipe.
Nut-free Omit the almonds and add sunflower seeds, flax seeds or other topping of choice.
Storage Store the matcha muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 30 days.
