Whole Orange & Raisin Spelt Muffins (low fat and less sugar)

Servings: 8 muffins

Ingredients

  • 1 medium orange
  • 2 small eggs
  • 60ml (4 tbsp) milk (see note 2)
  • 50ml (3 tbsp + 1 tsp) vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 200g (1½ cups) spelt flour (see note 1)
  • 50g (¼ cup) brown sugar
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 60g (2 oz) raisins

Instructions

  • Wash the orange and blend until nice and smooth (with no large chunks).
  • Whisk the eggs, milk and oil and vanilla together. Add the orange.
  • Add the flour, sugar and baking powder and mix just until combined.
  • Fold in the raisins.
  • Pour the batter into 9 muffin cases.
  • Bake on 175°C / 350℉ for around 22 minutes, just until an inserted skewer comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool a little, but they are tastiest when still warm. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. I used spelt flour but you could replace this with regular flour (or even a gluten free blend).
  2. I used almond milk, but you can use any milk you have to hand. 
 
Disclaimer:
I have converted grams to cups/ounces/tablespoons using online converters. Although I have no reason to believe they are inaccurate, please be aware that I have not made the recipe with imperial measurements.
In addition, many ingredients are different in Europe compared to North America. I do all I can to offer possible alternatives and to ensure the best possible outcomes for everyone. However, results cannot always be guaranteed if you have not used the same ingredients, measurements or methods as me.
Lastly, I do everything I can to ensure that my recipes (and instructions) are accurate and easy to follow. However, I am human, and don't always get it right. If you notice anything strange, a mistake, or even a typo, please let me know in the comments.
