Blueberry Muffins with Streusel topping

I like to make huge muffins because I mostly eat them for breakfast. Standard sized muffins sort of leave me hanging, craving for more. But you could easily use a smaller sized muffin tin and bake them about 5-7 minutes less.

First make the topping. Preheat the oven to 350° F

Topping;

1/2 C. Spelt flour
1/4 C. stevia/xylitol sugar substitute
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
pinch of salt.
1/4 C. coconut oil, melted but cooled down

Add the first 4 ingredients to a bowl, mix. Add the oil and mix again until you have large crumbs, set aside.

Dry ingredients;

1 1/2 C. Spelt flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda

Wet ingredients;

1 whole egg + 1 egg yolk at room temperature
3 tbsp. coconut oil, melted and cooled down
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 C. plain yoghurt of your choice, I used soy
1/2 C. milk regular or soy
1/2 C. Agave syrup
1 C. Blueberries, I use frozen.

Method;

Mix the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet in another bowl.

Add the two together, stirring a little as possible until just mixed. Do not over beat or they will end up tough. Before adding the blueberries, toss them with a little flour so they don’t sink to the bottom as easily. The reason I use frozen blueberries is because they keep their perfect round shape whilst baking.

Now scoop the batter into your muffin tins that have been lined with baking paper. Top each one with the streusel topping. And bake in the oven for about 25 min. Test towards the end with a wooden skewer for doneness.

When I come back from the market with bags full of beautiful fruits and vegetables, I feel very blessed and lucky to have all that produce within reach. As though I’d just won the lottery I am smiling as I enter my home. Anticipating the joy of unpacking all my treasures and displaying them in beautiful bowls, in the kitchen, in the dinning room and even in the living room. Looking at all that fruit and veg inspires me to cook and eat as healthy as possible. Creating new dishes every .

Ingredients;

Bottom layer.

1/2 Mango, peeled and diced, some extra Mango to make spears for decorating

1 tsp. Maca

1 tsp. Lucuma

Top Layer

1 tbsp. of Goji berries, plus some more for decorating.

1/2 C. Strawberries

Black Forest overnight Oats

Ingredients for the Oats:

3/4 C. milk of choice
1/4 C. Oats
1/4 tsp. Vanilla extract
2 tsp. Maple syrup, Honey or Agave

Put all the ingredients in a Mason Jar or glass and stir to combine, leave overnight in the fridge.

The next morning, blend the Oats until you have a smooth oat cream.

You can warm it up slowly in a heavy bottomed pan or in the microwave, or leave it cold. Both is delicious.

For the Cherry sauce;

1/2 C. Cherries, pitted and cut in half
1/4 tsp. Arrowroot
1 tsp. Maple syrup, Honey or Agave
1 tbsp. Water

Mix all the ingredients in a small saucepan and cook until thickened, for just a few minutes. Add a little more water if necessary to get the right consistency.

For the Chocolate Shavings:

1 4 oz. Dark Chocolate bar 70%

Take one whole Chocolate bar, unwrap and put it on a piece of baking paper. Microwave on high for 40 to 50 seconds.

Shave curls slowly using a cheese slicer. Hold the chocolate steady with one hand and with the other shave, slowly. Put the chocolate curls on another piece of baking paper. You don’t have to use all the chocolate, just as much as you are going to be using.

To assemble:

Take a pretty glass and start with a layer of Oats, then spoon over half the Cherry sauce. Sprinkle with Chocolate shavings. Repeat. Finish with the Chocolate shavings. When you use warm Oats, the chocolate will slowly melt thru the Oats and cherries.

Enjoy!
