Muffins!


Here's an "original" family favorite recipe. I use sprouted spelt flour but any will do.

2 cups + 2 tbsp flour of choice
1/2 tsp salt (I prefer celtic sea salt)
1 tbsp alum. free baking powder
3 tbsp melted coconut oil (if too expensive for your budget, sunflower oil will do)
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup water
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 cup shredded zucchini (optional)
1 cup blueberries

Mix dry ingredient, mix wet, then stir together. Add zucchini & blueberries and add to greased muffin pans (I like to brush the cups with melted butter. If there is any melted butter left over, I drizzle it over the muffins before eating them!). Cook in a 400 degree oven for 12-15 minutes.

If you have a mini muffin pan, your kids will love these for healthy snacks too!
