Ingredients

200 g semi-whole Manitoba flour
100 g whole rice flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
a pinch of whole sea salt
70 ml extra virgin olive oil
100 ml agave syrup
100-120 ml oat milk
half a teaspoon of essicated ginger powder
half a teaspoon cinnamon powder
2-3 pinches of powdered cloves

2 firm apples (I used Golden Delicious)

Makes 12-14 muffins.

Apple spice muffins

Directions

Preheat oven to 170° degrees C. In a large bowl combine the Manitoba flour, rice flour, cream of tartar, salt and spices. In another bowl combine the oil, agave and milk. Whisk well and fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients (preferably using a wooden spatula). Stir gently until the ingredients are combined but make sure you don’t over mix the batter. Add the apples and stir againg just to make sure they’re evenly incorporated into the batter. Fill the muffin cups or muffin tray with the batter, using a spoon. Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is lightly browned and a toothpick or knife inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Remove from the oven, transfer to a wire rack and let cool for about 5 minutes before removing from the muffin tray or muffin molds.

Tips, thoughts and ideas

You can either use single greaseproof muffin cases or paper cases placed in a muffin tray. If you spoon the batter directly into the muffin tray, make sure you lightly oil the molds and sprinkle them with flour.

Looks great, as always! What’s macis powder? Mace?

Thanks Eric. I mis-translated that! That’s mace, indeed.

These sound so awesome! What exactly is Manitoba flour? Could I use regular wheat flour instead?

Can we use nutmeg instead of mace?

They look really lovely and light, thank you for sharing the recipe.

Ciao

Ciao Alessandra, I used both. You can use only nutmeg if you can’t find mace. They’re really light. I find them perfect for breakfast, with tea or as a snack.

Mihl, hi. Manitoba is the variety of wheat used to make this kind of flour, which has a very high gluten content. Try with regular wheat flour and let me know what you think. They’ll probably turn out less ‘spongy’ and slightly drier.
