Blood orange chia seed muffins

By Khanya Mzongwana

Serves 12–15

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cooking Time 20–25 minutes

Ingredients

1½ T chia seeds
1/3 cup water
125 g brown sugar
31/2 T sunflower oil or melted coconut oil
1/3 cup plant milk of choice (I used almond milk)
100 g grated apple
2 blood oranges, zested
200 g cake flour
2 t baking powder
¼ t bicarbonate of soda

Method

1. Place the chia seeds into a jug or bowl and pour in the water. Stir and allow to soak for 15 minutes. They should soak up the water and become gel-like in consistency.

2. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 190℃. Line a 12-hole muffin pan with paper cases.

3. Beat together the sugar, oil, almond milk, apple and orange zest until well incorporated. Beat in the soaked chia seeds.

4. Sift the flour, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda, then fold into the chia seed mixture.

5. Spoon the batter into the muffin cases and bake in the middle of the oven for 20 minutes or until the muffins are well risen and firm to the touch. Remove from the pan and cool on a wire rack.
