Servings: 17

Preparation duration: 15 minutes

Cooking duration: 17 minutes

 

Ingredients:

1/4 cup agave nectar (you might be able to use maple syrup)

1 tsp baking powder (I use aluminum-free)

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 cup organic cane sugar (or regular sugar)

2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp fine grain sea salt

1 flax egg (1 T ground flax + 3 T warm water, mixed)

1 cup canned or fresh pumpkin

1/2 tsp ground cloves (I skipped this as I didn't have any)

1/2 tsp nutmeg

2 1/2 cups whole grain spelt flour

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup Earth Balance vegan buttery spread (Or use non-hydrogenated margarine)

Equipment:

baking paper

baking sheet

oven

microwave

whisk

bowl

Cooking instruction summary:

InstructionsPreheat oven to 350F.Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.Whisk flax egg in a small bowl and set aside.In a medium sized bowl, combine the dry ingredients (spelt, baking powder, baking soda, sea salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves). Set aside.In a different bowl mix the butter, sugar and agave until smooth. I melted my butter a bit in the microwave for 15 seconds first as I find the Earth Balance is easier to work with when melted slightly.Now add pumpkin, flax egg, and vanilla. Beat well.Carefully mix in dry ingredients being sure not to over mix. Spelt is broken down very quickly when mixed and you can end up with a tough batter if you over mix it. But relax it will turn out regardless! The batter will be very moist and sticky, but don’t worry.Drop the batter onto the baking sheet. I wet my fingers to slightly shape the scuffins. Pop a stick in the end if preferred to have your scuffin on a stick! I got my sticks at Bulk Barn.Sprinkle with chia seeds for a spooky, yet nutritious, effect for Halloween! You can also have fun decorating little pumpkin faces on them (great for kids!).Bake for 17 minutes or until the scuffins slightly bounce back when touched. Handle the scuffins on a stick very carefully because they are delicate. I found that I improved this by making smaller scuffins on a stick- then they weren’t as heavy!

Food Joke

A young woman, who was at her father's funeral, asked her mother, "Mom, how did Dad die?" Her mom replied, "Heart attack." "What was he doing?" the daughter asked. Her mother said, "Well, we were having sex." This enfuriated the daughter, because they were both 80 years old. The daughter said, "You guys are 80 years old! You should have expected something like this! You're way too old to be engaging in this sort of activity!" The mom replied, "Well, you see, years ago, we realized that at noon every day, the church bells rang. So, we decided to work along to that nice, slow rhythm so that your father wouldn't have a heart attack. It worked for years too. That poor guy... he'd still be alive today if that darned Ice Cream truck hadn't come along..."
