Spelt Oatmeal Muffins


Absolutely delicious. Here is the recipe. I plan on making them again really soon. Plus, I got to use the spelt flour I got for my birthday and the wheat bran I picked up at the store last week. (I used oil and vanilla yogurt and some smashed up banana).

  • 1 cup whole spelt flour
  • 1/4 cup wheat or oat bran
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats, slightly chopped (or quick cooking oats)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup buttermilk or yogurt (non-fat is OK)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil or apple sauce
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 cup water

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 375F. Grease a muffin tin, or line with baking cups.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, bran, sugars, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Stir in dried fruit and oats.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together egg, buttermilk, vegetable oil, vanilla and water.
  4. Add buttermilk mixture to oat mixture and stir until just combined. Let stand for 15-20 minutes. You may refrigerate the batter, covered, for about a week at this point.
  5. Spoon batter into prepared tins by heaping 1/4 cups (about 1/3 cup).
  6. Bake for 20 minutes, until muffins are golden brown and spring back when gently pressed. Add 5 minutes baking time if batter is cold.
  7. Garnish if desired.
  8. Makes 12 large muffins
