Makes 12

Blueberry muffins are a comfort food beyond compare. They join the company of other classics, such as mom’s apple pie and ice cream. This recipe captures the taste and texture of good, old-fashioned blueberry muffins. These are great plain but are even better when eaten with butter.

Ingredients:

- 2cups (500 mL) blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup (125mL) water
- 2 1/2 cups (625mL) almond flour [alternatives: 3 cups cashew flour OR 2 1/2 cups cashew fl + 1cup rice flour]
- 1/2 tsp (2mL) baking soda
- 1/4 tsp (1mL) salt
- 1 tsp (5mL) ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp (2mL) pure vanilla extract [alternative: 10 drops vanilla stevia]
- 1/2 cup (125mL) honey [alternative: 1/2 cup agave]
- 3 eggs [use egg substitute]

Preparation:

1. Heat the oven to 325 F (160C). Line a muffin tin with large baking cups.
2. In a small saucepan, simmer the blueberries with the water until the berries release their juice and the mixture has thickened slightly. Let cool.
3. Combine the almond flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl.
4. Combine the blueberries, vanilla, honey, and eggs in another bowl.
5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix well.
6. Evenly fill each baking cup with the batter.
7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes

RECIPE VARIATION: Midnight Rose Muffins

To marry classic blueberry and new-age cranberry in a colourful, sweet-tart muffin, simply replace 1 cup of the blueberries with cranberries. The dough turns deep midnight blue, thanks to the blueberries, and the cranberries provide bursts of tangy, bright red. Its a feast for your eyes as well as your taste buds.

Kundalini

Energy that lies dormant at the base of the spine until it is activated, as by the practice of yoga, and channeled upward through the chakras in the process of spiritual perfection. In Kundalini Yoga, the cosmic energy is believed to be within everyone. It is pictured as a coiled serpent lying at the base of the spine. through a series of exercises involving posture, meditation, and breating, a practitioner can force this energy up through the body to the top of the head. This brings about a sensation of bliss, as the ordinary self is dissolved into eternal essence
