These delicious, lemony, blueberry filled muffins are a huge hit with my family. They are so quick and easy to whip up so you can make them in a pinch for unexpected visitors or pop them into your kids’ lunch boxes. They also freeze well and make a great snack. Hope you like them as much as we do:)
Preheat your oven to 350F. Using a pastry brush, lightly grease a muffin tin with canola oil. I use stone muffin tins (and cookie sheets and loaf pans) and absolutely love them. They are non stick, non toxic and produce really great results.
In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together your spelt and all purpose flours, salt, baking powder and baking soda. In a large mixing bowl whisk together your sugar, soy milk, canola oil, lemon extract and vinegar.
Add your dry ingredients to the large mixing bowl and mix just until blended. Do not overmix. Gently fold in your blueberries.
Divide the batter evenly between 12 muffin cups. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean or with a few cooked crumbs attached.

Hi, Just wondering if I can use products that are non organic or does that change how they turn out.
Sorry if its a silly question
Tara says
It’s not a silly question at all. Yes, you can use non-organic ingredients and they will taste exactly the same. Enjoy! These are in our lunches this week as well:)

Hi, I just came across your site & am anxious to try this muffin recipe. However, was wondering if I could substitute canola oil w avocado oil? I’m (still) trying to transition to pb eating & recently started using avocado oil for cooking purposes. Thanks for sharing all your delicious looking recipes.
Tara says
I am guessing it will work just fine though I have to admit avocado oil is not something I ever use due to a sensitivity/ allergy. Let me know if you try it as this would be great info for others too:)
