Chef tips + Ingredient Swaps + Ideas
**DIY HOMEMADE OAT FLOUR; blitz 2 cups rolled oats until it forms a fine flour in a blender or food processor 45 sec-1 min. Test by rubbing your fingers to ensure you have created a fine flour; if not, blend some more.
RICE FLOUR | TAPIOCA FLOUR help give the apple & oats in this heart-healthy gluten-free recipe a lift. I haven’t tested it, but I imagine you could swap it for all-purpose wheat flour.
VINEGAR is acidic = used here to help activate the baking powder, making a lighter textured muffin.
CHIA SEEDS = adds a slight texture that I like + good digestive cleansing fibre – you can skip the chia.
ADD NUTS & SEEDS – I like this recipe with pumpkin or sunflower seeds, flaked almonds or walnuts.
ADD DRIED FRUIT – currants, cranberries,and raisins roughly chopped.
THERAPEUTIC DIETS – Adapt the recipe and ingredients according to your healthcare provider.
