Comforting and delicious oatmeal in the form of a muffin! Great for an on-the-go breakfast or as a healthy, cholesterol-lowering snack.
If you love porridge but don’t always have time in the mornings to sit down and enjoy a bowl, then these breakfast porridge muffins are for you!
Or for those in the US, I should call these Breakfast Oatmeal Muffins!
I like to think of these muffins as “Porridge on the go”, if you will.
They’re moist, oaty and are subtly sweetened with a little brown sugar or coconut sugar (a low GI sugar with a caramel flavour).
Plus they’re very low fat, high fibre and high protein making them a really healthy breakfast option.

Wholegrain, high in fibre and low in sugar, these breakfast porridge muffins (oatmeal muffins) are not only a delicious, vegan and easy-to-make breakfast but are good for you too!

- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

- 60 ml / ¼ cup almond milk
- 55 g / ⅓ cup brown sugar + extra for topping*
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180C / 350F. and line a muffin tin with 6 cases.
- In a large bowl, stir together the porridge oats, spelt flour, baking powder and soda.
- In a separate bowl, mix the remaining ingredients.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry, stirring until well combined.
- Divide the mixture between the muffin cases and top with a few extra oats and a sprinkling of coconut sugar.
