Spelt and apple muffins

I made these muffins when I had a peach and a nectarine reaching the pivotal millisecond when fruit goes from edible into festering mould. I used up some apples too, made a batch, and some went in the freezer for Future Breakfasting Opportunities.

Here's what I used:
spelt flour - about 250g. You can mix up some spelt with some plain, if you like.
2 apples
1 peach
1 nectarine
some stem ginger from a jar, chopped up into small pieces
3 teaspoons baking powder
2 eggs
120g butter (well I didn't have enough so I made up with olive oil)
100g light brown sugar, can substitute some with with ginger syrup from the jar
50ml milk
200g plain yoghurt

Forget those uber complicated versions of muffin recipes. This works just fine: mix the dry ingredients together, the wet ingredients together, then mix wet and dry.

Chop up the fruit into small pieces and mix with the flour and sugar. Melt the butter in the microwave and mix with the olive oil (if using), the eggs, yoghurt, ginger pieces and milk. Mix the wet and dry ingredients, but not too thoroughly, just a very quick stir. Plop spoonfuls into cases in a muffin tin. Do NOT I repeat NOT be persuaded that greasing a tin will actually work, I pretty much guarantee you will be scraping burnt bits off for days and not actually getting a single whole one out of the tin. Unless you have one of those weird NASA designed silicone trays, as yet untried in this house.

Bake in an oven at about 180' until they look dark brown on top and just not sticky in the middle. This will vary according to how pumped up your oven is, in mine it took 20 mins or so.






They look a bit dry but they taste pretty good. And spelt comes from a health food shop so must be good for you, right?
