Have you ever thought of using your favorite herbal teas in your baked goods? If you are a tea lover like I am , you drink lots of herbal teas and would like to incorporate teas into many things as possible. My favorite brand is Traditional Medicinals.
I tried using tea as the liquid and voila this recipe was created!
Ingredients
1/4 Cup brewed hibiscus tea (brewed according to package direction)
2/3 Cup almond flour
1 Tsp baking powder
2 Tbsp maple syrup
2 Eggs or Flax eggs
Carob chips or raisins ( optional)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F degrees.
- Line four muffins cups.
- In a small bowl, combine the brewed tea, almond flour, baking powder, and egg (flax eggs) and stir with a fork to combine.
- Spoon the batter into the muffin cups and bake until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean, 12 to 15 minutes,
- The muffins can be stored tightly sealed at room temperature for 2 days or stored in the freezer for months.
Note: I use only organic ingredients
Wow! That’s really original. Never crossed my mind to do that. I’ve never seen hibiscus tea over here. I love jasmine tea but I don’t think that would go.
You can always use fresh brewed bottled teas if you get your hand on those. Any fruity flavor will work.
