Total Time30 mins
Course: Breakfast
Servings: 8 people
Ingredients
- 1 cup kamut flour
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/3 cup almond oil you could use grape seed oil instead which is a budget-friendly option
- 1 egg medium
- 1/2 cup soy milk or almond milk
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup blueberries fresh
Instructions
- Preheat heat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Line a 8 standard-size muffin cups tray with paper liners.
- For big-topped muffins, pour 2 tbsp water in the empty remaining cups. This will help the muffins bake evenly.
- Whisk the flours, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. You can use an electric mixer.
- In a separate bowl, add oil, egg, milk and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine.
- Add milk mixture to the bowl with dry ingredients. Use a fork to gently combine and avoid over mixing. Stir in the blueberries and fold gently to combine.
- Pour the batter into muffin cups and divide equally. Fill to the top.
- Send in the oven and bake for 20-25 mins or until toothpick inserted into the middle of a muffin comes out with no wet batter. Cool on a baking rack.
Notes
- For big-topped muffins, pour 2 tbsp water in the empty remaining cups. This will help the muffins bake evenly.
- You can use an ice cream scoop or cup measure to divide the batter equally.
- Store baked muffins in a cool dry place for 4-5 days
- Muffins can also be frozen for up to 6 months
- Instead of almond oil you could use grape-seed which is much more budget friendly
- Feel free to add nuts and seeds to the batter for an extra health boost and texture

![❓What fruit or veggie do you find difficult to get into your diet? [ad] @CAforPrunes #EatCAprunes #Prunes4Bones
.

🌱Since adopting a predominantly plant-based diet, my taste buds have evolved tremendously. I now find myself loving *nearly* all types of plant foods. 🥦🍅🥬🍇🥕🍒But after all this time, I still struggle with raw kale. 🙈 Nope, you wouldn’t find me eating it ‘as is’ and thinking, “I want more!” .
.
Now that doesn’t stop me from finding ways to add it to my diet, so that my family can enjoy a variety of greens.🙃 Remember, no single fruit and vegetable will supply you with all the nutrients you need for health and vitality. Variety truly is the secret sauce! 🌈And trust me, your taste buds will evolve too - just give it some time. .Want to know my other secret? I accompany raw kale with foods I LOVE. .My favourite 🥗 power bowl is DELICIOUS 😋 - topped with sweet and chewy California prunes, fresh peppers, crunchy sunflower seeds, creamy dreamy avo and tart fresh cranberries. It’s made complete with my garlicky tahini dressing (on the side). Yup, raw kale never tasted SO good!!😁
.
.
With a single serving of 5-6 prunes (40 g), you’re getting a boost of Vitamin K and manganese - two key nutrients for the maintenance of normal bones. Let’s not forget, you’re also getting fibre, potassium, and magnesium. 💪🏻 It’s a perfect fit for healthful diets! @caforprunes
