Apple Hemp Muffins

Serves 12

1 ½ cups whole-grain organic spelt flour

1 cup organic oat flour

2/3-3/4 cup hemp seeds

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

¼ tsp sea salt

1 ½ -1 ¾ tsp cinnamon

¼ tsp ground cardamom (can substitute freshly grated nutmeg)

1 cup unsweetened organic applesauce

½ cup pure maple syrup

¾ cup plain or unsweetened vanilla non-dairy milk

1 ½ tsp pure vanilla extract

1/3 cup raisins or chopped dehydrated banana spears (use kitchen shears or knife to cut in small pieces about the size of raisins)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients, sifting in the baking powder and baking soda. Stir through until well combined.
3. In another bowl, combine applesauce, maple syrup, non-dairy milk, and vanilla, and mix together.
4. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, and gently fold and mix through until just combined (do not over mix).
5. Spoon the mixture into a muffin pan lined with cupcake liners (this will fill 12 muffins quite full).
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Remove from oven, let sit in the tray on cooling rack for 1-2 minutes, then remove from muffin pan.
