What do you do on a public holiday when the rain just won’t give up?
You and your Mr drag the futon mattress into the middle of the lounge room floor, along with every pillow, cushion, blanket and doona you can find. Drink endless cups of Madame Flavour peppermint and lavender tea, watch hilarious dvd’s, devour a block of Lindt mint choc, listen to the Hottest 100 Countdown, play Scrabble and oh, BAKE MUFFINS!!
Here is our recipe! Totally wheat and dairy free with MEGA amounts of antioxidants!
Spelt Blackberry and Choc Muffins
3 cups (375g) Spelt Flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup caster sugar
2 free range eggs, beaten
1 1/4 (310ml) cups rice milk
125g butter, melted
1 tsp real vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups frozen blackberries
2 huge teaspoons of ground cinnamon
1 300g block of Lindt blueberry dark choc
½ cup shredded coconut
1 sliced banana for the top of the muffins
What to do:
1. Preheat the oven to 200 C. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or place a muffin paper in each slot.
2. Sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt into a large mixing bowl and stir in the sugar.
3. Place the eggs, milk, butter and vanilla into a separate bowl and whisk together.
4. Fold the egg mixture into the dry ingredients, add the coconut and broken up chocolate and then gently stir in the blackberries. (Don't stir the berries too much or you will get purple muffins!)
5. Spoon the mixture into the muffin cups, and slice the banana and put a slice on top of each muffin. Place the muffin tray on the top shelf of the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are well risen and lightly browned.
Happy Aus Day boys and girls!!

whats splet flour? Ive never heard of it
ReplyDeleteSpelt is a wheat-free grain. It has trace amounts of gluten but is tolerated by most people who are intolerant to gluten. It's got a lightly nutty taste. Spelt pasta and spelt breads are particularly yummy :)
