Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a pan with 10 muffin liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the gluten free flour, oats, coconut sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and sea salt.
  3. In another bowl, combine the oat milk, oil, chia egg and vanilla.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
  5. To the pan, divide half the batter between 10 molds.
  6. Add 1 Blueberry Haskap cube to the center of each mold.
  7. Divide the remainder of the muffin batter between the 10 molds, covering the smoothie cube. Top with a few fresh blueberries.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until baked through and golden brown. Note: The center will still be soft due to the smoothie cube, but the top will become firmer.
