12 medium sized muffins
Author Notes
I've finally managed to get spelt muffins light and fluffy! The use of coconut oil and fruit sugar make these healthy as well as moist. It was a lovely surprise, as usual attempts at delicious AND healthy baking never seem to work out. One could make these wheat- free and dairy-free muffins also Vegan by using chia seeds in place of egg; I've read somewhere you can make some sort of chia 'egg' binder. —Becky Gilhespie
