Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 12 cup muffin pan with muffins liners and spray the inside of the liners with nonstick cooking spray. This is to ensure the muffins do not stick! Trust me on this one.

In a large bowl, add maple syrup, chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla, applesauce and coconut oil; stir to combine and let sit for at least 5-10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to soak and expand a bit.

In a separate medium bowl, add oat flour, oat bran, flaxseed meal, salt, baking powder, baking soda and spices. Next add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon until just combined. Gently fold in diced peaches and blackberries. Next fold in walnuts, if desired.

Evenly divide batter among prepared muffin liners, smoothing out the tops if necessary. Bake for 17-22 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Allow muffins to cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Makes 12 muffins.
