Ready to satisfy those fall cravings with a delicious and wholesome treat? Let’s get baking!

Ingredients:

For the Cake Batter:
  • 4 tbsp organic ground flax + 10 tbsp water (to make flax eggs)
  • 1 1/2 cups organic coconut oil, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups organic coconut sugar
  • 1 1/3 cups organic plant-based milk or water
  • 4 cups organic spelt flour (self-milled if possible for maximum nutrients and fiber)
  • 2/3 tbsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp clove (optional)
For the Cinnamon Swirl:
  • 1/4 cup organic coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
For the Crumble:
  • 1 1/4 cups organic spelt flour
  • 1/3 cup organic coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup organic coconut sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper or reusable silicone liners.
  2. Make Flax Eggs: Mix 4 tbsp of ground flax with 10 tbsp of water in a small bowl. Stir well and set aside for about 10 minutes until it thickens into a gel-like consistency.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, coconut sugar, and plant-based milk (or water).
  4. Add Flax Eggs: Once the flax egg mixture is ready, add it to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.
  5. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the spelt flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and optional clove.
  6. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Make Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup coconut sugar and 1 tsp of cinnamon.
  8. Fill tins: Line your muffin tins with cupcake or jumbo muffin liners. Start by laddling the cake batter half way up the muffin liners.
  9. Add Swirl to Batter: Add about 1-2 tsp of the cinnamon swirl into batter and swirl using a chopstick or toothpick.
  10. Top with cake batter: Fill the rest of the muffin tin with the batter until it fills about 80%.
  11. Prepare Crumble: In another bowl, combine the crumble ingredients—spelt flour, coconut oil, and coconut sugar. Use your fingers to mix until a crumbly texture forms.
  12. Assemble Muffins: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each about 2/3 full. Sprinkle the crumble on top of each muffin.
  13. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  14. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes in the muffin tin, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef Notes:

  1. Self-Milled Flour: If you have the ability to mill your own spelt flour, you’ll retain more of the nutrients and fiber, making your muffins even healthier.
  2. Flax Eggs: Make sure to let your flax eggs sit until they reach a gel-like consistency; this is essential for binding the ingredients.
  3. Crumble Topping: Feel free to experiment with adding nuts or seeds to the crumble for extra texture and flavor.
  4. Storing: These muffins keep well in an airtight container for up to 4 days. They can also be frozen and thawed for an anytime treat.
  5. Swirling Technique: Don’t over-swirl the cinnamon mixture; a few simple twists of a toothpick or chopstick will do the job and give you that lovely cinnamon ribbon effect.
