I have been experimenting more and more with grain-free baking as I have been having some issues with grains causing some inflammation in my body- as if I need to cut more food out of my diet, BUT since I had my muffin breakthrough with my Grain-Free Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins I honestly do not miss the grain-filled flours at all! I am so grateful for alternative flours, such as almond, cassava, and coconut flour- all of which can be purchased through Bob’s Red Mill!
When I was developing recipes for my new dessert book coming out in December 2021, I figured out the perfect combination of grain-free flours to produce the most light and airy baked goods, and I’m transferring that over to this Grain-Free Vegan Cinnamon Streusel muffin recipe.
The grain-free flour mixture includes a combination of Bob’s Red Mill cassava, coconut, and almond flours. To replace the eggs I’ve added flax eggs to this recipe, which is a combination of flaxseed meal (also from Bob’s Red Mill) and water that “gels” up to an egg-like consistency to keep these muffins moist while adding beneficial fiber- something I’m also trying to incorporate more in my recipes.
You’ll also create a vegan buttermilk by adding a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to plant milk, like almond or oat milk, and allowing it to “curdle”- which also helps these muffins to retain their light texture.
There is a trick to this grain-free vegan muffin recipe to create the infamous muffin top we all love so much. If you’re accustomed to gluten-free, vegan baking you’ll know that baked goods definitely don’t rise nearly as much as traditional bakery. So, pay close attention 😉
You’ll take the batter and fill it to the top of each greased muffin cup, then using a large ice cream scoop you’ll scoop the rest of the batter on the tops and gently form into the muffin top shape. They will spread and rise just slightly, but overall, the shape will remain while baking. And of course, you can’t forget the best part, the cinnamon streusel topping! You guys really love my muffin recipes, so I thought a cinnamon-flavored muffin deserved a home on the Healthy Little Vittles blog (plus cinnamon is by far my favorite spice!).
You’ll combine powdered sugar with plant milk for the perfect glaze to complete these muffins. They are so simple to make, and it’s a one-stop shop for all of the grain-free flours you need to make these, so be sure to head over to Bob’s Red Mill to stock up.
I hope you love these Grain-Free Vegan Cinnamon Streusel Muffins and are as proud of them as I am. If you try them please leave a comment and rating below! Don’t forget to tag me on Instagram or Facebook when you make them!
