Ingredients

Power Muffins

  • 1 cup whole spelt flour
  • ¼ cup almond meal
  • 1 ⅓ cups ground flax or chia seeds
  • ⅔ cup coconut palm sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil, plus extra
  • 1 ¾ cups non-dairy milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • ¾ cup unsweetened dried cranberries
  • 1 cup roughly chopped walnuts
  • 2 tablespoons cacao nibs

Clementine Glaze

  • juice and zest of 1 clementine
  • ½ cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease your mini bundt or muffin tins and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the spelt flour, almond meal, ground flax/chia, coconut sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ground ginger and salt.
  • Mash the banana in a separate medium bowl. Make sure it is fairly smooth. To the banana, add the coconut oil, milk and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine.
  • Scrape the banana and milk mixture into the dry indredients (flour, ground flax etc). Gently fold the batter until it is just combined/there are no more dry bits of flour. Add the blueberries, dried cranberries, walnuts, and cacao nibs and gently fold them into the batter until evenly distributed. The batter should be quite thick at this point.
  • Fill the muffin cups/bundts with the batter to ¾ full. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean and muffins bounce back when you press your finger onto the tops. Cool the pans on a wire rack completely before turning out onto a plate.
  • While muffins are baking/cooling, make the glaze: whisk the clementine zest, juice and powdered sugar together until smooth. Apply glaze to the tops of completely cooled muffins.

Recipe Notes

  • If you eat them, feel free to replace the mashed banana with 2 beaten eggs to avoid any trace of banana-ness.
Vegan power muffins are filled with whole grain and almond flours, berries, seeds, and are naturally sweetened with a zesty orange glaze
