Blueberry Citrus muffins
Serves nine
Spray oil
120g plain flour
80g rolled oats
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp cardamom
Zest of 1 orange
½ tsp salt
1 large egg
225g Glenisk organic Greek-style natural yoghurt
100g Glenisk organic Greek-style blueberry yoghurt
80g honey
80g sugar
60ml unsweetened almond milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
140g blueberries
25g coconut sugar
25g desiccated coconut
1 Preheat your oven to 180°C. Spray a muffin tray with baking spray or rub with oil. Place two square sheets of greaseproof paper into the muffin trays as muffin cases.
2 In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cardamom, orange zest and salt. Set aside.
3 In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg. Whisk in the Glenisk Natural yogurt, honey, sugar, almond milk, and vanilla, mixing until well combined.
4 Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Toss the blueberries in 1 tbsp of flour to prevent them from bleeding or sinking to the bottom of the muffins. Then fold them into the batter.
5 Divide the batter evenly among the nine muffin cups, filling almost to the top.
6 Add desiccated coconut and a sprinkle of coconut sugar, if desired.
7 Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the tops of the muffins are firm to the touch and a tooth-pick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
8 Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for five minutes.
9 Serve with a dollop of Glenisk Greek-style blueberry yogurt and drizzle with honey.
