Using spelt flour instead of whole wheat gives these muffins more depth in flavour, and loads them with fibre and protein. The added ripe bananas provide natural sweetness, creating moist, tender and delicious muffins.

Ingredients:

1+1/2 cups organic spelt flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp sea salt
2 to 3 ripe bananas
1/2 cup rice milk
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup applesauce + 1 tbsp ground flax
1 cup blueberries or chocolate chips

3. Drop by spoonfuls into oiled muffin trays, or pour batter into a loaf pan.
