Berry Hemp Spelt Muffins

Ingredients

• 2 cups spelt flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1⁄4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/3 cup sugar (try granulated cane)
• 1 1⁄4 cups organic milk (dairy or non-dairy such as hemp, almond or coconut)
• 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
• 1⁄4 cup melted coconut oil
• 1⁄2 cup applesauce
• 1 heaping cup berries, such as frozen blueberries, saskatoon, raspberry or strawberry
• 8 tablespoons hemp ‘hearts’ (shelled hemp seeds)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and sugar in a mixing bowl.
3. Whisk together the milk and vinegar, till frothy. Whisk in the coconut oil and applesauce. Mix this wet mixture into the dry ingredients till everything is ‘just’ combined, but still a bit clumpy and not overly smooth.
4. Toss the berries in about 1 Tbsp of the dry ingredient mixture. Fold in the berries and half the hemp hearts. Top each muffin with a half tablespoon of hemp seeds.
5. Spoon mixture into 10-12 muffin tins and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
