3. Add the flax eggs, avocado oil, oat milk, vanilla and rosewater and beat with an electrical mixer for a few minute (or 3 minutes if doing it by hand with a whisk).
4. Pour the cake batter into the ready pans, dividing it evenly between the 2 of them.
5. Place the muffins within the oven and bake for about half-hour till the muffins are accomplished within the middle (you’ll be able to insert a toothpick into the middle and it comes out nearly clear with a number of moist crumbs).
