Ingredients
- 1 cup non-dairy milk
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup melted vegan butter or coconut oil
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- ⅓ cup chopped dates
- ½ cup coconut cream or yoghurt
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups whole wheat or oat flour

Method
- Set your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a muffin tin with muffin liners.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the non-dairy milk and apple cider vinegar, then let it sit for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, combine the melted vegan butter (or coconut oil) and coconut sugar. Add the milk mixture, coconut cream (or yoghurt), and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth.
- Add the flour, sticky toffee protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir until the batter is fully combined and free of lumps.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each liner about ¾ full. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before enjoying. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
