Spelt Granola Muffins with Plums

Labels: { Fruit, Muffins, Spelt }

Healthy homemade millet granola gives a crunchy topping and nutritional boost to these tasty spelt muffins. The plums and yogurt help keep them moist longer and they freeze well. Enjoy these muffins for breakfast or anytime you feel like a snack.

125 g Wholegrain spelt flour
125 g Refined spelt flour
70 g Raw sugar
1/2 tsp Salt
2 tsp Baking powder
70 ml Walnut oil
150 g 3.5% Plain yogurt
1 Large egg, lightly beaten
180 g Millet granola
220 g Plums, stoned and diced

Whisk wholegrain spelt flour, refined spelt flour, raw sugar, salt and baking powder together in a mixing bowl.
In another bowl, mix walnut oil, plain yogurt, and egg until combined. Add the liquid mixture to the flour mixture, stirring until barely combined.
Fold in 120 grams of granola and diced plums. Divide the batter into a 12-cup muffin pan and top with the rest of granola. Bake for about 20 minutes until the tops are nicely golden brown and crunchy.
