Low fat, Low sugar, High Fibre, Low GI
3oz coconut flour
6oz spelt flour
1.5tsp baking powder
2oz low fat margarine (I use flora)
3oz powder canderel (sometimes I use 1.5 oz of half sugar)
2 punnet blueberries, washed (save half to just push in the top before oven)
Juice of half a lemon
2 xtra large eggs
235ml milk
Vanilla Essence to taste (I use about desert spoon full)
Sieve flour and baking powder twice.
Add the margarine and rub gently until it resembles breadcrumbs; stir in the sugar and berries.
Whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla essence and lemon juice.
Add this to the dry mixture and stir briefly (enough to combine but leaving it lumpy).
Dollop the mixture into 12 muffin cases and bake at 180 deg C for 20-25 minutes.
Hope you enjoy, you can add most other fruit, lemon and poppy seed is good too... If you dont need low gi, just use self raising flour instead of spelt (the coconut flour is high fibre). You can also add some golden flak seed for even higher fibre (just sprinkle on the top with spare blueberries before oven.
I use large muffin cases and the time is about right but all ovens are different, leave to cool, as they will be gooey in middle while still hot, but this makes them very moist when cool....
Let me know what u think xx
