All work and no baking makes Sophie go something something… Crazy? Don’t mind if I do! Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop. 😀 It’s been a very full month around here and I’m really missing baking up new (and old) recipes to munch on and share with you all! I did manage to whip up a batch of these muffins last week amongst all the craziness and felt much better after I stuffed one in my mouth.
These and my Blueberry Bran Spelt Flour Muffins are my go to muffin recipes and they don’t stick around long unless I tuck some into the freezer for another morning! The lemon in these really shines through too. I sincerely encourage you to indulge at least once and put a nice slice of cold butter on one when it’s still warm from the oven… you won’t regret it. 😉
Happy baking!
Recipe updated January 2, 2024: While the changes are small, I have started baking with organic, all purpose flour again so I have included the adjustments for that option as well as the gram weights since I use a scale for almost everything these days.

Blueberry Bran Spelt Muffins
Ancient Grain Blueberry Banana Baked Oatmeal
Blueberry Whole Spelt Waffles
Raspberry Oatmeal Spelt Muffins
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats (220g)
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk or yogurt, milk, almond milk, etc. (375ml or 450ml if using all purpose wheat flour)
- 2 1/2 cups organic all purpose, unbleached spelt flour or all purpose wheat flour (300g)
- 3/4 cup brown sugar lightly packed (154g)
- 1 tsp sea salt (6g)
- 2 tsp baking powder (8g)
- 1 tsp baking soda (6g)
- 1 cup grape seed oil (189g) or melted and slightly cooled coconut oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract (10g)
- zest of 1 lemon
- 2 cups frozen raspberries (200g) or blueberries or a combination of both
- additional rolled oats to sprinkle on top (optional)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a muffin pan with muffin cup liners or grease the muffin pan with butter and set aside.
-
Combine the oats and buttermilk in a medium bowl. Set aside and let it soak while you continue preparing the rest of the ingredients. Mix together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl. In a third bowl or glass measuring cup, whisk together the oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon rind.
-
Add the oil mixture to the oats mixture and stir to combine. Toss the berries in the flour mixture then add the wet mixture and gently fold until just combined.
-
Fill each muffin cup really full so that each one is heaped. Top each muffin with oats if desired.
-
Bake at 425 degrees F for 10 minutes. Lower the temperature to 375 degrees F for another 15 minutes or until a toothpick poked in the centre of a muffin comes out clean. Broil for 2 - 3 minutes to brown and crisp the muffins tops (optional).
-
Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool for 5 - 10 minutes in the muffin tins before removing.
Thank you for your recipe, I made these beautiful raspberry spelt muffins this morning. They were delicious! I substituted wholemeal spelt flour as that was my preference and enjoyed them with almond butter.
Hi Nancy, wonderful thank you for your comment. I haven’t tried making them with just whole spelt flour before, I’m glad they turned out and I will have to give that a try too, happy baking!
I stumbled across this recipe on Pinterest and I just LOVE it. Thanks for creating and sharing it. Am trying it with cherries and chocolate as we speak.
Hi Stephanie, thank you so much! Cherries and chocolate sound like a to die for combination, let me know how they turn out. 😀 Happy baking!
Thank you for a lovely spelt recipe. Very easy to do and very tasty. I made it with almond milk, and coconut oil. It needed a bit longer in my oven especially for the bigger ones!
Thank you Naoise! I am happy to hear they turned out with almond milk and coconut oil!
