Blueberry Muffins

Wow! I just made muffins that look like the real thing and taste great too. The basic muffin recipe is from the book Breaking the Vicious Cycle: Intestinal Health Through Diet by Elaine Gloria Gottschall. I made a dozen and they are all gone already!


Ingredients;
  1. 2 1/2 cup of ground nuts
  2. 1/4cup melted butter (or home made yoghurt)
  3. 1/2 cup runny honey (place honey jar in bowl of hot water to make runny)
  4. 1/2 tea spoon of baking soda
  5. 1/8 teaspoon of salt
  6. 3 eggs (if you can't eat eggs then pureed fruit can be substituted)
Method;
  1. Put the everything except the butter in a food processor and blend
  2. Add the melted butter to get a batter like consistency
  3. Optional - add some fruit (I used a few blueberries)
  4. Spoon the mixture in to tin lined with paper cases (or non-stick muffin tin)
  5. Bake at 190 degrees for 15 to 20 mins
You need to keep a close eye on these while they are cooking as they can burn very quickly.

  1. Yes, aren't those good muffins? Those are the best SCD blueberry muffins I have tried so far also.

  2. I just made this recipe and they are absolutely GREAT, they are by far the best blueberry muffins I have tried in the SCD. One thing I had to adjust was temperature and time (190F for 15-20 was not enough); I did it at 310F for 45min. I also substiteded butter for ghee, since my son is also GF/CF.

  3. Yummy! I baked at 375F which is 190C for about 15 minutes I think Penny is giving a C temperature. My batch made just over 2 dozen mini muffins (with about one cup of blueberries).

  4. I made these for my husband, and he said it is my best SCD recipe so far. In addition to the blueberries, I added 1 chopped fresh apricot. Also, messed with the cooking time-cooked@375 for 15, then 325 for 25. Also changed racks and turned. He said, best consistency, and flavor!! (consistency is the toughest IMO w/SCD recipes)

  5. I've since switched this recipe up a few times, using cranberries,orange zest, and almond extract/lemon extract/orange juice. It is one of the most versatile scd baking recipes I have encountered.
