Vegan Oat & Peanut Butter Breakfast Muffins

Cake For Breakfast

I’m always on a mission to make breakfast more fun. I’ve tried milkshake for breakfast, cookies for breakfast and now….cake. Call them ‘muffins’ and its much more acceptable 🙂

Eat these vegan muffins in bed for extra indulgence.

Oat and Peanut Butter

I definitely have a problem when it comes to oat and peanut butter. I put them in everything. I just feel like it’s such a good ‘healthy-ish base for breakfasty type treats.

If you love peanut butter as much as me you might also like this vegan chocolate and peanut butter pie.

Drench in Syrup

These vegan oat muffins have kind of a ‘scone’ type texture. They are crumbly and dense which to me is perfect for breakfast. Enjoy them with your morning coffee or spread them with a little vegan butter. Or how about some jam for a peanut butter and jelly fix?

To make them extra special drench them in maple syrup, mmmmm

Egg Replacements

The flax in this recipe is a replacement for 2 eggs. If you don’t have flax you could also try using yoghurt (coconut yoghurt could be nice), applesauce, blended tofu or banana.

Hope you enjoy these. You could definitely add some fruit to this batter for a bit of extra sharpness and moisture I think. If you try other combinations let me know how they turn out.
