Vegan Flour-less Muffin Base

 
2 1/2 cups oats 
8 oz plain almond milk yogurt (or any plain yogurt)
1/2 cup raw coconut sugar
1/8 cup raw honey
2 tsp of aluminum-free baking powder
2 tbsp milled flax seed
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 tbsp almond milk
1/2 cup of plain applesauce or 1 ripe banana (your choice)
 
Depending on your fruit and/or nut combination, you should add 2-3 teaspoons of a combination of spices of your choice - cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, etc.
 
Preheat oven to 350F. Run the oats for 10-15 seconds in a blender until they start to form a powder.  Add all other ingredients including spices of your choice and blend until well incorporated.  Fold in nuts or fruit of your choice. Spray a muffin pan with coconut oil or olive oil  and fill 3/4 full. Bake for 35-40 min or until a toothpick comes out clean. Makes 6-8 large muffins or 10-12 cupcakes.
