Delicious Vegan Spelt Muffins

Prep Time:30 minutes Cook Time: 45 minutes Servings: 4 minutes

A delicious vegan muffin that is crisp and golden on top, dense and hearty inside, and totally addictive. This recipe is a recreation of my favourite muffins from a terrific vegan cafe in Toronto. Tasty flavour additions to this basic muffin batter include: chopped sweet potato and dates, pear and walnuts, apple and cranberries, or whatever else may tickle your fancy.

Ingredients:
  • 1 ½ cups spelt flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 very ripe bananas, mashed
  • ½ cup sunflower seed oil
  • ½ cup white sugar
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
  2. Whisk together spelt flour, oats, baking soda, and cinnamon in a bowl. Stir together bananas, oil, and sugar in a separate bowl. Stir banana mixture into spelt mixture just until dry ingredients are moistened; divide mixture evenly into 12 muffin cups.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 18 minutes. Cool in pan for 10 minutes; remove to cool completely on a wire rack.
