  • 11 g quick oats. 
  • 20 g whole chia seed. 
  • 5 g poppy seeds. 
  • 11 g corn meal. 
  • 200 g bottled filtered water, at room temp.
  • 1/4 cup (4 tbsp) (82 g) honey. 
  • Dry ingredients:

    Mistakes: I forgot to add and disperse the baking powder in the dry ingredients. I slowly folded it in after mixing the soaker, the final water and the other dry ingredients, but before adding the oil.

    Baking:  Pre-heated the oven and a baking stone to 375 F.  Did not pre-heat the pots. Placed aluminum foil (shiny side up) on the baking stone. Placed pots on the foil. Baked at 350 F for 48 minutes.

    This one was allowed to cool first (3 photos), bottom:

     


     

    Allowed to cool first, ran a knife around inside, and pryed the knife tip against the bottom of the muffin. It did not leave too much residue:

    They taste great, but ... the density is a bit of a turn-off.  Adding in the baking powder correctly will likely fix the density problem. I might dial back on the chia, honey, and oil too.  The chia makes a thick gel when pre-soaked.

    I am surprised that the shredded coconut dominates both the texture and the taste. It might help to include the shredded coconut in the soaker.
