Blueberry Peach Muffins

Do you know the muffin man, or woman? In our home, it’s me. I love to bake muffins and to experiment with different flavours and recipes. I try to use local fruits when in season, so summer is an awesome muffin-making time in our home with the abundance of local fruits. This batch combines two of my favourite fruits: blueberries and peaches. These blueberry peach muffins were a big hit and were eaten up right away. I need to make up another batch asap! They are healthy, nutritious and definitely delicious. They’re also vegan-friendly, as I used chia instead of eggs.

Blueberry Peach Muffins

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 Cup Spelt Flour *
• 1/2 Cup Oat Flakes or Rolled Oats
• 1/4 Cup Coconut or Cane Sugar
• 2 tsp Baking Powder
• 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
• 1 tsp Cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
• 2 tbsp Chia + 6 tbsp Water
• 1/2 Cup Milk of your choice (I used almond)
• 1/4 Cup Maple Syrup
• 1/4 Cup Canola Oil
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 2-3 Peaches, diced (I used 2 large)
• 3/4 Cup Blueberries, fresh or frozen

*Note: You can substitute spelt flour for all-purpose if you don’t have spelt.

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease 12 muffins tins, or line them with cupcake liners. I like to use coconut oil to grease them as I find it ensures nothing ever sticks to the tins.
2. Next, prepare the chia mixture. In a small bowl, mix the chia with the water and let it sit aside for about 5 minutes to gel together.
3. In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: flour, oats, sugar, baking powder and soda, cinnamon and sea salt.
4. In a medium sized bowl, mix the wet ingredients together: milk, maple syrup, canola oil and vanilla.
5. Add the wet ingredients as well as the chia mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until no clumps remain.
6. Stir in the peaches and blueberries.
7. Scoop the mixture evenly into the muffin tins.
8. Bake for approximately 20 minutes. Check them at 20 minutes and if the toothpick still comes out moist, put them back in for another 5 minutes.
9. Gobble these blueberry peach muffins up with your favourite tea for the perfect morning or afternoon snack.
