Carrot and Fig Muffins (vegan)

Friday 18 April 2014


Happy Good Friday! This Easter season has been filled with good food. The little nests and these muffins I made to get into the Easter spirit both taste amazing. My dad who has the "healthy food tastes bland" mindset really liked these! I didn't even ask him how they tasted and he was told me they tasted great which is so heartwarming hehehehe

Not only are they easy to make, but they're vegan friendly too! I do wish they looked better though. After exams I'm going to really focus on food styling and photography!



Makes 6 cupcake sized muffins

What you'll need
1 tbsp flax meal + 3 tbsp water
Dry
3/4 cups spelt flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Wet
1/4 cup coconut oil
2 tbsp maple syrup
3/4 cup grated carrot

1/4 cup chopped figs 30g

How to
1- Prepare muffin cups by greasing them or lining with paper liners. Preheat oven to 180C.
2- Mix flax meal with water in a small bowl and leave to thicken up. This is going to act as your egg!
3- Mix dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Form a well in the centre.
4- Pour wet ingredients in, along with the flax meal mixture. Combine batter well. Sprinkle and fold in the chopped figs. Make sure you don't clump them all together so that each muffin will have an equal amount of fig bits in it. 
5- Divide between the muffin cups and bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool and enjoy!
