Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups light spelt flour
  • 1/4 cup raw fine sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup vegetable/olive oil
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line 12 muffin cups with muffin liners or grease each with coconut oil, or vegetable oil.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt, then blend with a whisk.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine vegetable oil, maple syrup or honey with a wire whisk. Add eggs and beat well, then add yogurt, vanilla extract, lemon juice and zest.    
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until moistened. Gently fold in raspberries.
  5. Using an ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly, filling all 12 muffin cups. Bake for 20-22 minutes, until lightly golden and toothpick comes out clean. Place on a cooling rack. After a few minutes, loosen them from the pan, and then transfer them onto the cooling rack.
  6. Store the muffins in the refrigerator for 5 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months.
