Gentle Tummy
Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 2/3 cup greek yogurt (160ml)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vineger
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 cup oat flour (130g) (130g)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon cornmeal

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, combine 2/3 cup Greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, and 1 tablespoon maple syrup (if using). Stir until combined.
    Add the dry ingredients, including 1 cup oat flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir with a sturdy spatula or stand mixer. You should have a slightly sticky soft dough.
  • Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of cornmeal on a plate or cookie sheet. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Pour some oil on your hands and shape each into a round disk, about 3/4 inch thick. 
    NOTE: If you're using gluten-free flour or all-purpose flour instead of oat flour, do not oil your hands. Use a light dusting of more flour so the dough doesn't stick. 
    Lightly press each side of the muffin dough into the cornmeal for that classic English muffin texture.
  • Place the muffins on a preheated skillet or griddle, cover the pan, and cook for 8-10 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Keep an eye on the heat to ensure they don’t burn before cooking through. Allow to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Homemade Oat Flour: If you don’t have oat flour on hand, you can easily make your own by blending rolled oats in a food processor until finely ground. 
Texture and Thickness: The dough should be thick but slightly sticky. If it’s too dry, add a teaspoon of Greek yogurt at a time until it’s workable. If too wet, sprinkle in a little extra oat flour.
Cooking the Muffins: These cook best over medium-low heat, so they don’t brown too quickly on the outside before fully cooking through the middle. Keep an eye on them and adjust the heat as needed.
Toasting for a Crispy Finish: While these are delicious right out of the pan, they get an extra crispy texture if you slice them open and toast them. Perfect for breakfast sandwiches or with a spread of butter!
