Recipe I can't wait to try

Strawberry, Banana, ‘n Nut Butter Love Muffins

Ingredients:

• 1 cup whole grain spelt flour
• 3/4 cup unbleached white flour
• 1/2 tsp Himalayan sea salt
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup Sucanat (or brown sugar)
• 1/2 cup toasted pecans
• 1.5 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp aluminum-free baking powder
• 1.5 tbsp ground chia seed (or flax) + 1/4 cup water
• 1.25 cup almond milk
• 2 heaping tbsp coconut butter
• 3 tbsp nut butter (I used TJ’s sunflower seed butter)
• 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
• 3/4 cup strawberries, chopped

Directions: preheat oven to 375F. Grease a muffin tin and set aside. In a small bowl mix the ground chia and water and set aside. In a large bowl mix all dry ingredients (flours, salt, cinnamon, Sucanat, pecans, baking soda + powder). Set aside. In a medium sized bowl, mix all wet ingredients (chia + water mixture, milk, warmed coconut butter, nut butter, maple syrup). Mix well. Add wet to dry and stir. Fold in chopped strawberries, reserving 1/4 of them to sprinkle on top of muffins. Scoop mixture into muffin tin and sprinkle on remaining strawberries. I made 9 large muffins and I baked them for 25 minutes at 375F. Alternatively you can make 12 smaller muffins too. Baking time might need to be adjusted.
