Equipment

  • medium muffin pan
  • Silicone or paper muffin cups
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Electric hand or stand mixer
  • Medium cookie scoop

Ingredients

  • 2 cups organic white spelt flour
  • 1/4 cup organic sprouted spelt flour
  • 2 Tablespoons organic kefir
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or Celtic sea salt
  • 2/3 scant cup organic cane sugar or coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon organic ground cinnamon
  • 2 large organic ripe bananas mashed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup organic butter melted
  • 1 Tablespoon organic vanilla
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 cups organic frozen blueberries
  • 1 Tablespoon white spelt flour
  • 3 Tablespoons grated lemon zest divided
  • 1 Tablespoon organic cane sugar

Instructions

  • In your stand up mixer or electric mixer beat together mashed bananas, eggs, sugar, melted butter, lemon juice and vanilla until well blended.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. If you mix it too much your muffins will be tough.
  • Sprinkle the frozen blueberries with 1 Tablespoon spelt flour and toss until all blueberries are coated with flour.
  • Stir frozen blueberries into batter.
  • Use a potato scoop to fill medium muffin cups.
  • Mix 1 Tablespoon grated lemon zest and 1 Tablespoon organic cane sugar until combined well.
  • Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon lemon/sugar topping over each muffin.
  • Bake at 375 degrees F for 15 minutes.
  • Check. If tops are firm, remove from oven and allow to finish in the muffin cups (out of the oven) for another 5 minutes. If tops are soft, leave in oven for another 5 minutes.
  • You can use regular wheat flour or Bob’s Red Mill One to One gluten free baking mix for spelt flour and sprouted spelt flour.

Notes

Frozen blueberries make the best muffins. Toss in flour to help them stick better in the muffins.
You can use a baking tester to check the muffins to see if they are done in the middle.
