Equipment

  • Muffin Tins

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf Gluten-Free Bread I used Little Northern Bakehouse; cut into small ½-3/4 inch cubes.
  • cups Unsweetened Plant-Based Milk I used Ripple.
  • 3 tablespoon Ground Flax Seeds
  • 3 tablespoon Pure Maple Syrup
  • teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 2 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Fresh Blueberries
  • Zest of 1 lemon

Optional Cinnamon Sugar Topping

  • 1 tablespoon Coconut Sugar or brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon Cinnamon

Instructions

  • Generously grease a 12 cup muffin tin. and preheat oven to 350°
  • In a measuring cup(or small bowl), whisk together the milk, flax seeds, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, lemon zest and salt. Set aside until thickened, about 10-15 minutes, stirring once or twice.
  • Meanwhile, cut your bread into small cubes about ½-3/4 inch. Place bread cubes in a large bowl.
  • Once the milk/flax mixture is thickened, pour it oven the bread cubes and toss with a spoon until all cubes are well coated.
  • Add a layer of soaked bread cubes to each muffin cavity, then add a few blueberries on top. Repeat with the rest of the bread cubes piling them high! Finish with a few more blueberries around the tops of each muffin.
  • Bake for about 30 minutes until golden brown. Let muffins cool for about 10 minutes before removing from the pan. Serve as-is or top with additional maple syrup.
