Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a muffin tin by lining it with cupcake liners or lightly greasing each cup.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a larger bowl, whisk together the sugar, applesauce, and melted coconut oil until smooth. Gradually add lemon juice, lemon zest, almond milk, vanilla extract, and eggs. Mix well.
  4. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until incorporated but do not overmix. Fold in pre-soaked chia seeds.
  5. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the tops feel springy. Insert a toothpick to check doneness.
  7. Remove from the oven, let cool for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
