Soaker: 

• 11 g old fashioned (thick) rolled oats. 
• 11 g quick oats. 
• 20 g whole chia seed. 
• 5 g poppy seeds. 
• 11 g corn meal. 
• 200 g bottled filtered water, at room temp.
• 1/4 cup (4 tbsp) (82 g) honey. 

Dry ingredients:

• 28 g Patel brand stone-ground WW durum flour. 
• 22 g Sher Brar brand roller-milled WW durum flour, "Fiber Wala." 
• 25 to 30 g (forget the exact amount) durum semolina, Swad brand.
• 112 g Bob's Red Mill stone-ground WW flour. 
• 50 g Arrowhead Mills organic AP flour. 
• 56 g Sharbati Gold WW flour, Swad brand.
• 5.3 g salt. 
• 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice, Kroger brand. 
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger. 
• 1/2 tsp whole fennel seed. 
• 1/2 cup (45 g) fat-free powdered milk, Kroger brand. 
• 25 g dry shredded coconut. 
• 25 g almond flour (blanched).
• 2 tsp baking powder (After cutting one open, I think it would have been better to use 3 tsp.) 

Wet:

• 150 g bottled filtered water at room temp.  (After cutting one open, I think it could have used 50 to 70 g more water.) 
• 30 g peanut oil. 
• 20 g grapeseed oil.  

Mistakes: I forgot to add and disperse the baking powder in the dry ingredients. I slowly folded it in after mixing the soaker, the final water and the other dry ingredients, but before adding the oil.

Baking:  Pre-heated the oven and a baking stone to 375 F.  Did not pre-heat the pots. Placed aluminum foil (shiny side up) on the baking stone. Placed pots on the foil. Baked at 350 F for 48 minutes.

This was removed from pot and cut open before it cooled:

 

This one was allowed to cool first (3 photos), bottom:

 

Allowed to cool first, ran a knife around inside, and pryed the knife tip against the bottom of the muffin. It did not leave too much residue:
