DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line or grease a muffin tin.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together spelt flour, almond flour, hemp seeds, baking powder, baking soda, salt, fennel, cardamom, and lemon zest.

3. In another bowl, whisk flax eggs, lemon juice, maple syrup, melted ghee, almond/oat milk, rose water, and vanilla.

4. Fold wet into dry until just combined. Batter should be thick but scoopable (add 1–2 tbsp more milk if too stiff).

5. Divide evenly into 10-12 muffin cups.

6. Bake 18–22 minutes, until lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

7. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pan.

Notes

• These muffins are very calming while slightly uplifting. Harmonizing to the mind and body.

• Good for all doshas - the spices in these muffins make the heavy spelt flour more digestible for kaphas.

• Kid-friendly, may even calm them down when they are being irritable :).
