I love a good muffin. They are great to have on hand to grab when on the go before heading to work or for a quick breakfast for the kids before going to school. I often have muffins on hand in the freezer to quickly defrost whenever needed as well.
I am back this month with Secret Recipe Club after taking a short break during the holidays. I was assigned the blog We Heart Vegan which I was excited about. I love vegan recipes. I was drawn to recipes such as Vegan Buttermilk Biscuits that included rosemary and Thai Chili that is full of vegetables, red curry paste and coconut milk. I settled on featuring these Maple and Brown Sugar Cinnamon Muffins, or what she likes to call ” Scuffins” since they taste somewhat like a scone. I love muffins and scones so it was fate that I make these. Of course I had to put my little twist on them. I kept the recipe in tact for the most part, just swapping out oat flour for rolled oats.
These muffins are dairy free and egg free, but trust me you can’t even tell. They are so good. Perfect with your morning coffee or with a cup of tea. I even put these to the Mr. Mother Thyme test. I gave him one to try before I told them what they were and how they were made. He thought they were delicious and he couldn’t believe they didn’t have eggs, milk or butter in them. These muffins incorporate coconut oil which is a great alternative to butter.
Each muffin is about 210 calories each. Serve with a bowl of fresh berries with a dollop of creamy yogurt for a satisfying breakfast.

I love that she calls these “scuffins”! This looks like a fabulous recipe. Glad you chose it for SRC!
I’ve never heard of Secret Recipe Club! That’s a pretty cool idea. Those muffins look pretty delicious, too.
You can never go wrong with maple and brown sugar! Love these muffins!
Looks great! I love a muffin, love scones, so a scuffin sounds great!
Thanks for the great re-post!! I really loved these and so glad someone else had the chance to love them too (:

Oh jeez I’m totally craving muffins right now! Problem is I totally gobble them up way too fast lol
These muffins look so delicious–healthy and filling too! Great pick
Oh wow! These sound so good! My nephew is coming over next weekend and he has a nut/ dairy/egg allergy….. I think we will be snacking on these as a treat!
Oh dang… these look fab-u-lous! My sisters are DF and egg free so you bet I’m sending this along to them too!
These look so good! I love scones almost as much as I love muffins. I think these will be the perfect compromise!
I love this recipe, Jennifer! Maple + brown sugar is one of my favorite breakfast combinations. And I don’t do well with dairy so these are perfect for me!
These ‘scruffin’ look like they could convince me to drop the milk, eggs and butter. I prefer scones to muffins so I’m thinking these would be just right for me.
Lovely photography as always! I’m always a fan of recipes where you can’t tell that things are “missing” and are healthy.
These look perfect!
These muffins are perfect! I love anything with maple, especially a muffin. Pinned!
WOW – these are a winner! Must make very soon and will be pinning ASAP. Glad to be part of SRC with you!
These sound so yummy! Great choice. I’m a fellow SRC member, Group D.
These look great! I don’t have coconut oil on hand what can be used instead?
These muffins are best made with coconut oil. If you don’t have it on hand you could try another solid oil. This recipe has not been tested using another oil so I could not give you a specific alternative to use. I hope you get a chance to try these, they are amazing!
I can never get enough muffins! And I’m so intrigued that they are vegan!
These muffins look so scrumptious, Jennifer! Lovely recipe, thanks for sharing.
This would be so perfect for breakfast-on-the-go!
These are gorgeous Jennifer!
Love this recipe! Will be linking back to this in my upcoming post
Thanks so much Marla!
I’m always looking for healthy muffin recipes, and even just the name of this sounds delicious! I can’t wait to try these babies out!
These look amazing! They sound just as delicious too. Can’t wait to try it.
Jennifer these sound crazy good! I love the melted coconut oil in them and thanks for stopping by today on my coconut oil cookies! I used to make muffin-ish things sort of like this when I was strictly vegan/GF and this is a reminder to revisit. Using this recipe!
I love brown sugar and maple syrup with oats in muffin, in a cookie, or in a bowl!
