Gluten-free elderflower and almond muffins
Background
One of my favourite ingredients for cakes and puddings during the Summer is Elderflower cordial/syrup. I make my own (see elderflower syrup recipe) using the blossoms of the trees in my neighbourhood. These dairy-free and gluten-free elderflower and almond muffins were a great success - really light and spongy, not too sweet yet zingy. Perfect for afternoon tea, garden parties, picnics or breakfast.
Ingredients
- 1Β½ cup or gluten-free self-raising flour
- Β½ cup of almond meal
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 3 Tbsp Stevia
- 2 large or 3 small eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla paste
- 3 Tbsp elderflower syrup
- Β½ cup melted dairy- free spread
- Β½ cup Almond milk
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- To serve: elderflower syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 170Β°C. Line a muffin tin with paper cases.
- Mix the flour, Stevia and almond meal in a big bowl. Add the baking powder.
- In another bowl, lightly whisk the eggs, then add the vanilla paste and melted spread. Combine the mixtures together, then add the almond milk, enough to create a light batter.
- Finally, fold in the lemon zest & juice, then spoon the batter into a muffin tin or silicon muffin cases.
- Scatter some almond flakes on top of each muffin, then bake in the oven for about 20 minutes until golden and an inserted skewer comes out clean.
- Take them out of the oven and let them cool in the tin or cases for about five minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack. Drizzle them with elderflower syrup.
