Ingredients

Dry ingredients:

  • 150 g spelt flour white
  • 150 g spelt flour wholemeal or wholewheat
  • 170 g walnuts ground finely
  • 85 g walnuts roughly chopped
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves

Wet ingredients:

  • 240 ml yoghurt Greek preferred
  • 120 ml olive oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 180 ml honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or paste

Crumble Topping:

  • 25 g butter cold
  • 50 g walnuts
  • 2 tablespoon spelt flour
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar soft

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180 deg C.
  • In a large bowl combine the spelt flours, walnut meal, chopped walnuts, baking powder and spices. Stir well and set aside.
  • In a large jug combine the wet ingredients and using a fork whisk well until incorporated.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones and stir until just combined. Spoon the muffin batter into the muffin cases, filling them close to the top.
