A friend was dropping by, so to spoil her and give her energy for her long journey ahead, I decided to bake a batch of muffins. Here is what I came up with:
2 1/2 cups of almond flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup of dates (chopped)
1/2 cup of chocolate chips (I used whittakers dark cocoa chopped into small chunks)
2 oranges, peeled and cut into chunks - try to remove most of the pith
1 egg
1/4 cup of oil (I used sunflower/canola oil, but if I'd had coconut oil, I would have used that)
1/4 cup of orange juice
1 tbs of honey
Preheat the oven to 200C
Prepare a muffin tin, with paper cases.
1. In a blender, mix together all the wet ingredients (oranges, egg, oil, orange juice & honey).
2. Mix together all the dry ingredients in a bowl.
3. Add the wet to the dry and mix together. The general rule of thumb with muffins, is not to stir the mixture too much, just enough to bring it all together.
4. Place in muffin tin and bake in the oven for around 15 mins. As always with almond flour, keep an eye on it to check that you don't burn the tops.
