Cinnamon Toast Morning Muffins, gluten-free and vegan

by Kathy Patalsky · updated: Jun 26, 2020 · published: Sep 12, 2014 · About 3 minutes to read this article. 1 Comment


If you haven't been sprinkled with some autumn baking fairy dust yet, you know the kind that makes you suddenly have an unquenchable thirst for all things muffin-topped, loaf-baked and warm-from-the-oven, this nine ingredient muffin recipe just might get you in the mood. And in the kitchen. Pair these Cinnamon Toast Morning Muffins with your first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season, or with my favorite Hot Pumpkin Mug.

These muffins are moist and fluffy with cinnamon-sugar, espresso, buttery bliss and fall warmth in every cinnamon-toast inspired bite. Plus there is a nice amount of protein in these gluten-free, vegan gems. Share this muffin platter with your very best friends..

Inspired. I was browsing the internet when I found a (non-vegan) muffin recipe that inspired me. Sweet Butter's Coffee Doughnut Muffins. Cinnamon sugar-dipped with coffee built into the recipe. Well I simply had to veganize these dreamy bites.

And I think I did something right because these morning muffins are crazy-good. I will be making them all autumn long. And I will probably add in some pumpkin the next time I make these for some pumpkin-spice flair!

Two Versions. My first attempt at this recipe used organic whole wheat flour. They were light and lovely and totally amazing. But I wanted to try the gluten-free version too. And to my joy, the GF version is JUST as delicious, fluffy and moist.

Tip: Make sure to process your rolled oats long enough so that the oat flour you make is ultra-fine. (I use my Blendtec for this process, a Vitamix, another brand high speed blender or food processor will work.)
