Johanna, the publisher of Island Gals, sampled my muffins and commented that she did not get a sugar high or a bloated feeling afterwards.
She asked me to share the recipe. For the sample she tried, I used maple syrup and dates and added a tablespoon of Caf-lib, a coffee substitute, for additional flavour.
2 cups spelt flour
1 cup boiling water
1 cup oats
1 cup dates or raisins
1 cup Sucanat or cane sugar
½ cup of molasses or maple syrup
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
¼ cup oil (olive)
1 tsp cinnamon
1 Tbsp orange zest
½ tsp salt
2 eggs, beaten
Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease muffin tin.
Stir together dry ingredients.
Pour boiling water over dates or raisins.
Stir in molasses, oil and orange zest.
Add to dry ingredients all at once.
Add beaten eggs and stir only until just combined.
Spoon into muffin tin. Bake for 20–25 minutes until firm to touch.
