For the muffins you need:
- Egg

- Oat flakes
- Carrot
- Orange
- Vanilla yummy drops or essence (optional, but recommended)
- Coconut flour
Which plant-based drink to use?
Any one will do, even milk will work, or egg whites, making them more protein-rich.
I don't have oat flakes, now what?
Any flour will be fine in this recipe, for example, oat, whole wheat or spelt flour. Another option is to use flavored oat flour, thus being able to completely remove the vanilla sweetener.
Where to buy vanilla yummy drops?
You can buy them at Prozis, I use mine a lot to sweeten recipes without having to add more sugars. And I have a discount coupon for you with offers, with the coupon ANACRISTINA you get 10% discount on your order and also offers that you can see which are in force at this time on my instagram.
How can I substitute vanilla?
You can use honey or another sweetener to taste, however it will add sugars and calories to the recipe. You can use a dessert spoon of honey/agave syrup among others.
I don't have coconut flour, now what?
Coconut flour is not mandatory, but it gives a very pleasant density to the muffins. You can remove this ingredient if you make microwave cakes, for pancakes you will have to add this ingredient or more oat flour to keep it denser and not spread across the pan.
Another option
You can use this recipe for pancakes, giant pancake or waffles. Another option is to make it in the oven, in this case bake for 30 to 35 minutes more or less at 185º (365ºF). If you want them to be fluffier, add a teaspoon of baking powder.
