Ingredients

2 1/4 cups spelt

1/4 cup brown sugar or honey

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/4 cups milk

3 large eggs, beaten

1 tablespoon sunflower oil

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 425°F. Grease and flour a 12-cup muffin tin.

Combine all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Mix together the milk, eggs and oil and combine with the dry ingredients, stirring for 20 seconds and no more.

Fill the muffin cups two-thirds full and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown.

To vary, add 1/2 cup chopped almonds or 2/3 cup chopped dates or raisins (or a combination) to the batter. Yield: 12 muffins.
