I work at a coffee shop in town and we get the most yummmyyy blueberry muffins delivered to our shop each day and it is torture to walk away from them EVERYDAY...they really are amazing. So, when I saw this recipe in the cook book, it was a "must make and probably forever make recipe". For all of those who suffer from ciliacs disease, I am sorry this recipe uses spelt flour, but for those who are intolerant like me, splet should digest well. It is also made with coconut oil, don't be alarmed when you open the container and realize it is rock solid, one minute in the microwave and your good to go. So since it's made with splet flour, I am thinking that's why it did not call for xalyum gum, which was used in the apple cinnamon muffins. Spelt flower seems more binding than just gluten free flower, since splet is a close relative of wheat, (something she teaches you in the book). Anyway, they are cooking right now and smell SOO good!
Also, what is awesome about this batter (and really the whole cook book ) is if you have children around, you don't have to worry about the licking the spoon because it doesn't include eggs! Also the dough is so yummy!! I still can't believe the taste of such natural ingredients. Not harmful on your digestive, your weight or your heart. All important things! .............................ok, so I just checked on them, they are awesome!!! Eeek can't wait to try them!
The verdict: Awesome. Not too sweet, the blueberries take care of that. The texture is light and fluffy and 22 min is the perfect time to bake these. Not your average looking muffins, they are darker, but they are fabulous!
They were good fresh baked and 2 days later the texture was much better in comparison to the apple muffins can't wait for the next one!
