Easy Oatmeal Raisin Muffins (GF)

These Easy Oatmeal Raisin Muffins are one of my favorite gluten-free breakfast treats. Made with just ten pantry-friendly ingredients, these tasty, healthy muffins are ready to enjoy in 45 minutes or less.

Healthy Ingredients

These easy oatmeal raisin muffins are made with:

  • Coconut Oil: pregnancy superfood and source of easily digestible fats. 
  • Coconut sugar: unrefined sugar high in minerals, similar in color and taste to brown sugar. 
  • Eggs
  • Applesauce
  • Coconut flour: unrefined, high-fiber and gluten free baking flour
  • Organic Rolled Oats why organic? Keeping reading. It’s SUPER important
  • Organic Raisins

Keep it non-toxic!

Make these oatmeal raisin muffins as healthy as possible by choosing gluten-free and organic oats. Yes, oats are technically a gluten-free grain, but they are often cross-contaminated with gluten during processing. So if you have gluten-sensitivity or are celiac, choose certified gluten-free.

Conventionally grown oats contain high levels of the herbicide glyphosate (used in Round-up). Glyphosate exposure during pregnancy is linked with higher risks of gestational diabetes, birth defects, and hormone disruption. (1) Because of the prevalence of Round-Up in big agriculture, even some organic brands have detectable levels of glyphosate in consumer products, though at substantially lower levels. (2)

Good news! Bob’s Red Mill Organic Oats and Whole Foods 365 Organic Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats have non-detectable levels of glyphosate. Want to know where your favorite oatmeal stands? The EWG shared glyphosate test results from popular oat based products and it is eye-opening! (2)
