my breakfast

I had really busy day on Friday. Started off my day with working in charity shop till 4pm, then went back home , had a couple of hour kip. Then off to do a night shift at care home in my local town. Then, went to the charity shop to do saturday shift. Surprisingly, I wasn't really tired on saturday all day. I did this before several times last year. I swore to myself I wasn't guanna do it anymore. But someone at work wanted to swap, I also wanted to swap my shift. So we did. What I like to do after my night shift is to go to a coffee shop( American coffee shop, and do bloody good coffee), get a medium decaf americano with extra shot ( used to be: "decaf soya caramel mocchiato with extra caramel) and blueberry muffin. I was very naughty to get the blueberry muffin....it had wheat, SUGAR and animal fat and protein.... I ate it with feeling guilty, but as soon as finished eating, that guilt feeling disappeared. It was yummy though....☺well, my favo breakfast is what I had when Marcus and I spend weekend with poodles. It was: "Plum and mixed berry smoothie and buckwheat crispbread with miso hummus and cucumber." 

Plums were freshly picked from front garden in poodles' house. They were beautiful. We found some frozen plum juice in their freezer, so we used it as well. And, those buckwheat crisp bread is totally gluten, sugar free vegan. It's very light and very crispy and mooooorish. We found them in poodles' local supermarket (posh one). I went to the same supermarket in my local town, they don't have them. Not fair!!! ☹   So, this morning I was thinking with my breakfast, "well, I fancy some MUFFINS!!!"  I usually have : Fresh juice and muesli for my breakfast. My juice this morning was: carrot, apple, orange and red current( I was given fresh red current from my friend Sylvia). and I usually soak muesli with either oat milk or rice milk over night with nuts and fruits mix. Sometimes almond milk, but almond milk is our special treat!!! Anyway this is what I made.

They actually taste and texture like muffins. I quite like them. They aren't as sweet as how I expected, But I can taste sweetness from sultanas I put in, that make this muffin more interesting. ☺O.K, this is how I made: 125g gluten free flour, 125g spelt flour( spelt contains little gluten), 2teasp baking powder, 50g coconut butter, 100ml maple syrup( can use runny honey), 1 lemon zest, 1 orange zest, 1½teasp cinnamon, ½teasp mixed spice, 2 med banana, 200-250ml apple juice/oat milk etc, 175g blueberry/red currents

First, sift all dry ingredients in a large bowl. then blitz coconut butter, maple syrup, banana. Add blueberry to dry. Combine wet and dry ingredients. Add some liquid bit by bit till right consistency. Spoon the mixture into muffin cups and bake @ 180°c for 15-20mins till skewer comes out clean.

Next time I make this, I'd like to use honey instead and add some more!!! See how it taste like. I keep changing and altering recipes I have, I don't seem to use the same recipes twice. When  I bake something I satisfy, chances are; I forget to write the bloody recipe down!!! Never mind. Must be my age having "foregettableness"... called "senior moment"..............☺
