Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups organic light spelt flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup raw fine sugar
  • 2 free-run eggs
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tsp lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup almond/coconut milk
  • 1 1/2 cup fresh blueberries (frozen is optional)
Streusel:
  • 3 tbsp raw fine sugar
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 1/8 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp unsalted butter, melted

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375° Line a 12 cup muffin tin with unbleached paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine together flour, baking powder and salt.
  3. In an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar for about 1-2 minutes, or until the butter lightens in colour. Add eggs one at a time, scraping sides of the bowl, and beat well after each addition. Add vanilla, lemon juice and zest .
  4. Gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with almond/coconut milk, beating at a low speed until the batter is combined. Batter should be thick.
  5. Gently fold in blueberries with a spatula until the berries are evenly distributed. Do not overmix.
  6. Using an ice cream scooper, scoop batter into the muffin cups until full.
  7. Streusel: Mix together sugar, flour, cinnamon and melt butter in a small bowl. Distribute evenly over each muffin.
  8. Bake 30 minutes, until lightly golden. Allow muffins to cool for about 5 minutes and transfer to a wire rack. Enjoy them warm or store them in the refrigerator. These muffins freeze well too.
