Spiced Plum Muffins

Wrapped In Newspaper

Soft fruits can be a bit of a pain, because no sooner have you bought them, they’re going off. So why not put your slightly squishy plums to good use with these spiced plum muffins, which are ideal for an 11 o’clock snack or make a tasty pud (especially while still warm from the oven). They’re also super easy!

There's more where this came from!

Ingredients

150g spelt flour
150g ground almonds
2 tsps ground ginger
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
50g sugar or sweetener
50g agave syrup
115g vegetable oil
250ml soya yogurt
150g plums (stoned and chopped into small pieces)
A sprinkle of toasted chopped almonds

Preparation

Pre-heat the oven to 180C.
In a mixing bowl, add the flour, ground almonds, ginger, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and xylitol and stir through.

Add the agave syrup, vegetable oil and soya yoghurt and mix – but not to thoroughly because you don’t want to overwork the mixture. Stir through the chopped plums.
