"Nourishing Traditions" Muffins


Remember the soaked pancakes I made a while back? These muffins use a really similar batter. They turned out pretty good for a first attempt I thought, a light fluffy texture. They aren't very sweet, but I guess what would you expect from a recipe with no sugar in it.

Heres how I made them (from the Nourishing Traditions cookbook):

- Soaked 3 cups wholewheat flour in 2 cups of kefir for 24 hours

Then added : - 2 organic eggs
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- about 1/4 cup melted butter
- about 1/3 cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- a few shakes of cinnamon and a handful of sultanas

Mixed it all up, put in muffin pans and cooked at about 160 for 30minutes.

thanks for recipe. Does the kefir have to be of any sort eg unpasteurised?

I just used my own homemade kefir, which I made from unpasteurized milk. But any kind would be ok. I think the recipe would probably work using runny plain yogurt as well.

if you don't have kefir and don't mind dairy-free muffins, just soak the flour in combo of water & a tbspn of freshly squeezed lemon juice instead. When you add the remaining ingredients, omit the milk.
