Brandy-Soaked Strawberry Orange Spelt Flour Muffins

Ingredients

• 6 whole Ripe Strawberries
• 1 Tablespoon Brandy
• 1 whole Orange, Zest And Juice
• 1 whole Egg
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
• ⅓ cups Coconut Milk, Full Fat
• ½ cups Honey
• 1 cup Spelt Flour
• ½ teaspoons Salt
• 1-½ teaspoon Baking Powder
• ¾ cups Pecans, Chopped

Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 350ºF and prepare a buttered/sprayed muffin pan. Chop strawberries and place in a bowl. Pour the brandy and orange juice over the strawberries and allow to soak while you are preparing the rest of the recipe.

In a mixing bowl, combine the egg, vanilla extract and coconut milk. Mix until the egg is beaten and the ingredients are combined. Add the strawberries (including the juice and brandy) and honey and mix until combined.

Add all the dry ingredients plus the orange zest and pecans, mixing just until the dry ingredients absorb the wet ingredients. Pour the batter into the muffin dish, filling the slots about ¾ full. This recipe does not rise much at all, so you don’t need to worry too much about leaving space for the batter to grow.

Bake for 20 minutes. Makes 9 muffins.
