Pepita Einkorn Cakelets

Labels: { Cakes, Einkorn, Nuts and Seeds }

These delicious cakelets with all the goodness of pumpkin seed are quick and simple to make and perfect served with a nice cup of tea or with a dollop of custard or crème fraîche for a Sunday lunch dessert.

150 g Pepita seeds, ground into powder
70 g Einkforn, ground flour
1/4 tsp Salt
1 tsp Baking powder
170 g Unsalted butter
100 g Coconut sugar
3 Eggs
2 tbsp Pepita seeds, roughly chopped

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. In a bowl, combine pepita powder, the einkorn flour, salt and baking powder. Set aside.
In another bowl, cream the butter and coconut sugar with an electric mixer. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until smooth. Stir in the dry ingredients with a wooden spoon until incorporated.
Spoon the batter into 12 muffins cups lined with paper liners. I used 10 silicone muffin cups and a 8cm leftover tartlet crust. Sprinkle the tops with chopped pepita seeds.
Bake in the center of hot oven for about 18-20 minutes. or until a skewer inserted in the centre of a cakelet comes out clean. Stand in the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
