instructions

Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 180ºC fan bake and grease a 12 hole muffin pan.
-
Step 2.
Place oats in a food processor and blend until they become a fine flour.
-
Step 3.
Add the remaining dry ingredients and pulse to combine.
-
Step 4.
Combine all the wet ingredients in a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
-
Step 5.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet, and stir until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to ensure you have lovely light muffins.
-
Step 6.
Divide mix between the 12 muffin holes and sprinkle the tops with some more oats.
-
Step 7.
Bake in centre of oven for 20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the middle of muffins comes out clean.

Step 8.
While muffins are cooling, prepare the glaze by combining the icing sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl. Adjust the consistency by adding more icing sugar if too runny, or more lemon juice if too thick, until you have a nice drizzly glaze.
-
Step 9.
When muffins have cooled, drizzle with lemon glaze and serve warm.
