Cinnabon Muffins with Oat Flour

433 shares

Cinnabon muffins made with oat flour are so fun to make. There is a cinnamon sauce that you pour into the middle of the batter before baking. When you pull them out of the oven the muffins have a bit of a gooey center and they are just extraordinary!

Important Step

Grind oats into a flour consistency. You will need a high speed blender for this step, or just process in whatever blender you have until the oats are a fine flour.

I measure heaping cups of oats and I get the perfect amount every time. Oat flour recipes are very forgiving, so if you’re a little short or have too much, it won’t be a problem.

If you find that your muffin batter has gotten too thick, no problem. Oats are sponges and absorb liquid quickly. Simply add ½ cup of water to the batter and it will be the perfect consistency again for the most amazing cinnabon muffins.

    Hello,
    I made these over the weekend and followed your instructions carefully, but they are really dry/chewy. This is my first time baking with oat flour, is it just how oat flour works? They are still very tasty just a little drier than I thought they would be.

      I’m so sorry to hear this!!! The problem is definitely the moister in the muffin. Oats are sponges, so if the oats absorb too much of the liquid and it becomes really thick, then a little more liquid needs to be added. I recommend 1/2 cup of water at a time. The consistency should be like thick brownie batter.

    Recipe sounds delush! How much premade oat flour would you use, instead of making your own?
