Ingredients

½ cup (120 ml) hot water

2 tbsp (24 g) chia seeds

1 cup (190 g) light brown sugar, packed

½ cup (115 g) mashed nectarine, peeled

⅓ cup (76 g) vegan butter, melted

2 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups (230 g) whole wheat flour

1½ tsp baking soda

Pinch of sea salt

1 cup (180 g) diced nectarine, peeled

½ cup (57 g) chopped pecans or walnuts

⅓ cup (33 g) rolled oats

¼ cup (35 g) light brown sugar

2 tbsp (28 g) cold vegan butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with liners.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the hot water and chia seeds and let sit until thickened.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, mashed nectarine, melted vegan butter, and vanilla.
  4. Whisk the thickened chia mixture into the wet ingredients.
  5. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt, stirring just until combined.
  6. Fold in the diced nectarine and chopped nuts.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin liners, filling each to the top.
  8. For the topping, combine oats and brown sugar, then cut in the cold vegan butter until crumbly.
  9. Sprinkle about 1½–2 teaspoons of topping over each muffin.
  10. Bake for 24–26 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  11. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender.

Peaches or apricots can be substituted for nectarines.

Pumpkin seeds can replace nuts for a nut-free version.

Add a pinch of cinnamon for extra warmth if desired.
