- Do ahead: the night before, soak the split peas in a bowl of water. When ready to use, drain.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the baking flour, millet, rolled oats, turmeric, ginger, cumin, coriander, chili powder, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Set aside.
- Pulse the drained split peas with the almond milk until a coarse paste forms. Transfer to a mixing bowl, and combine with the eggs, zucchini, corn kernels, cilantro, green onions, and coconut oil.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet batter.
- Grease a muffin tin with some coconut oil. Divide the batter equally among the muffin cups. Bake at 350 degrees until the muffins are cooked through, about 22-28 minutes. Set aside to cool for at least 15-20 minutes.
- They taste delicious with ghee!
