Xmas muffins

All the flavour of xmas pudding in an individual serve.

These are gluten/grain and can be dairy free.

Makes 12

Ingredients

300g of any dried fruit- I have used blueberries, apricots, prunes, medjool dates, figs, and mango- small dice, or chopped in food processor

1 ¾ cups (175g) of blanched almond flour

2 tsp of gf baking powder

3 eggs

1 clean, whole orange, chopped into chunks

1 tsp vanilla extract

¼ cup of coconut oil or butter

1 tsp ground cinnamon

¼ tsp nutmeg

¼ tsp ground ginger

Method

Preheat oven to 180c and grease well a 12 holed muffin tin. It’s easier to line them with paper muffin cases as they do tend to stick.

In a food processor put in your orange and blitz until mostly smooth, add your coconut oil or butter, eggs and vanilla and pulse briefly. Add in your almond flour, spices and baking powder. Add in your dried fried and just stir them through. Spoon into 12 muffin holes and bake for 12-15 minutes until a skewer comes out clean.

For the honeyed brandy cream

For each ¼ cup of double cream I have used ½ tsp honey and 1 tsp brandy. You can use more if you want, just taste it!

You can do whipped cream if you wanted, just add honey and brandy as you whip your cream.

For dairy free you can use the thick part of ayam coconut cream and add your honey and brandy.
