A classic blueberry muffin with the addition of spelt, coconut, and orange.
4 tbsp. butter
2/3 c. coconut sugar
1/3 c. applesauce
2 egg
1/2 c. orange juice
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 c. spelt flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. orange zest
1/4 tsp. sea salt
2 c. blueberries
1/2 c. coconut flakes
Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with liners. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and coconut sugar. Stir in applesauce, eggs, fresh-squeezed orange juice, and vanilla extract.
In a second large bowl, whisk together spelt flour, baking powder, orange zest, and salt. Stir flour mixture into butter-egg mixture until just combined. Gently stir in coconut flakes and blueberries. Spoon batter into muffin cups and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean; about 30 minutes.
