Blueberry Lemon Streusel Muffins Recipe

Method

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. In your first bowl add your flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and zest from one lemon. Mix.

3. In another take your blueberries and a spoonful of your dry mix and toss.This actually will help your blueberries stay put in the batter and not sink to the bottom.

4. In your last bowl combine the vegetable oil, egg, and milk. Whisk.

5. Combine the flour mixture with the butter mixture all at once and then mix. Don't over mix!

6. Add your blueberries and mix as little as possible.

7. Combine sugar, flour, butter, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Use a pastry blender to mix- or if you’re like me just use your hand. Then sprinkle over the muffin batter.

8. Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick or cake tester comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack or like me enjoy immediately.

Golden Turmeric Porridge

Serves 1

Recipe courtesy of Food to Glow

Ingredients

120ml (1/2 cup) plant or dairy milk (not fat-free)
120ml (1/2 cup) water
½ tsp ground turmeric
1/8 tsp ground cardamom
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
3 grinds black pepper
3 pitted natural dates (medjool or deglet nour) OR honey/maple syrup to taste
45g (½ cup) porridge oats (numerous companies now have certified gluten-free oats, e.g. Nairns)
1 tbsp shelled hemp seeds or chia seeds
Toasted pecan nuts or other nuts and seeds that you fancy
1 tsp bee pollen – optional
Spiralised carrots – optional (adds lovely texture and natural sweetness)
Other optional add-ins: chaga or maca

Golden Turmeric Porridge

Method

1. If you are using the dates, blend them with the milk and water until smooth.

2. Simmer the milk and water very gently with the spices for five minutes. A gentle sustained heat, along with the piperine in the pepper and the fat in the milk, helps to activate the main phytochemical, curcumin, in the turmeric.

3. Add the oats and hemp seeds and stir occasionally until thickened to your liking – I do so for about five minutes.

4. Sweeten to taste if necessary, and serve topped with toasted nuts, bee pollen and the spiralized carrot.
