Wholemeal apricot muffins are the perfect blend of soft, nutty dough and juicy fruit, making them ideal for breakfast, an afternoon snack, or a quick dessert with coffee. With their simple preparation and wholesome ingredients, these muffins are a treat everyone will enjoy!
Ingredients
(Makes 12 muffins)
- 300 g wholemeal spelt flour (Grandma’s Choice)
- ¾ packet baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 250 ml cream
- 100 g melted butter
- 120 g icing sugar
- Zest of 1 untreated lemon
- 6 apricots
Procedure
1. Prepare the dry and wet mixtures:
In one bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, sugar, and lemon zest. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, cream, and melted butter.
2. Combine the mixtures:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until you achieve a smooth batter.
3. Fill the muffin tin:
Line a muffin tin with paper liners. Fill each liner about ⅔ full with the batter. Place a halved or quartered apricot (depending on size) into the center of each muffin.
4. Bake:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Bake the muffins for about 20 minutes, or until they turn golden brown. Test for doneness by inserting a skewer into the center—if it comes out clean, they’re ready!
Final Tip
For added flavor, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or mix in chopped nuts to the batter. If apricots are out of season, substitute with peaches or thawed frozen fruit. Enjoy these wholesome treats fresh or store them in an airtight container to keep them soft and delicious!
Bon appétit!
