Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
Add all ingredients, liquid first, into a blender (a heavy duty blender works best)
Blend on low-medium speed until mixture is smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides, until blended and smooth. I used a Vitamix with a tamper to push the ingredients down into the blades.
Spray a muffin tin with a healthy oil spray (I used walnut oil, you can also use a cooking spray for baking)
Pour batter evenly into 12 muffin cups and bake for 20 minutes.
Muffins are done when a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool and enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container lined with a paper towel.
Notes
After muffins have cooled, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
