Ingredients
Muffins are made with just 9 simple ingredients :
- spelt flour,
- baking powder,
- coconut sugar – you can replace it with brown or white sugar,
- cinnamon,
- gingerbread spice,
- hokkaido pumpkin,
- coconut oil,
- plant based drink – we both like to use almond drink, but you can use your favorite,
- vanilla extract.
The preparation is very simple and quick and only takes about half an hour, including the baking time! In one bowl mix all of the dry ingredients and in another one mix all the wet ingredients and pour into a mixture of dry ingredients and mix well. Pour the mixture into muffin tins and bake for 20 minutes. We prefer to use silicone molds, as they are more eco friendly and you can easily remove the whole muffin from it, because when using paper ones, often half of the muffin remains on the paper.
