The way you start your morning sets the pace for your day. With Loreto, we believe in taking our time and always have breakfast together, at the table, more often than not with a baked treat and a good cup of coffee.

Coconut Raspberry Spelt Muffins

What a feast when in the morning we have a homebaked treat! Either a slice of loaf bread, a brioche, a scone, or a muffin. My preference is always to bake something wholesome, not too sweet, possibly with seasonal fruit.

These Coconut Raspberry Spelt Muffins are joyful and fun and taste like a sunny summer day.

A look at the ingredients

spelt flour, one of my go-to wholesome flours for baked goods;
desiccated coconut, finely shredded, but not coconut flour, it's not the same. Desiccated coconut has more moisture and texture than coconut flour and you'll actually appreciate the little pieces of coconut coming through;
coconut sugar, just to reiterate on the coconut flavor, plus it's better for you and gives a nice golden color to the baked good;
vegetable oil, in our case, peanut oil, the one that mostly graces our pantry just in case we have to deep fry something. Or bake.
Greek yogurt, another staple in our fridge. I use it so much in my baked goods, but also love it as a snack with homemade granola and fresh fruit, and last but not least it makes an incredible homemade labneh;
egg, and for us, it's only organic free-range. A look at the beautiful sunny yolk and you'll be converted, too;
milk, again, for us, only organic, and 2%, you could use any plant-based milk;
fresh raspberries, one of summer's simple little pleasures, that we eat by the handful, we turn into jam or baked treat. When summer's over, frozen raspberries work just as fine.
cocoa nibs, to add some crunch, plus they're extremely good for you and have an intense chocolatey taste without being sweet at all.

Easy to make

Coconut Raspberry Spelt Muffins are so easy and fast to make, you'll be asking yourself why you don't make them more often. They are a small batch, too, so perfect for just the two of us, or a small family, to eat fresh.

You don’t need a stand mixer for this easy recipe, you just need a scale (my inseparable companion when baking), two bowls, one for the dry one of the wet ingredients, a whisk, a spatula, a muffin tin, and muffin liners.

Fresh out of the oven with this delightful aroma, the only thing to do is unwrap one and bite in. Love the lightly crispy top and edges with a deeper ultra moist center with those bursting raspberries. Absolutely stupendous.
