Huddersfield: What To Do On A Foggy Day?

WHEN we wake-up and it often looks like this:

You may wonder what in the world we do. Well, wonder no more!

We do this:

Homemade muff-cakes.

You can try your hand, too. Here is our top secrect fingerlicking good recipe:

Ingredients

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 cups almond milk, rice milk or coconut milk
2 cups spelt flour
125g dates (soaked in water to soften)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1TBS chia or mila (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup coconut oil, warmed until liquid
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Optional toppings: blueberries and chopped hazelnuts

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 12-cup muffin pans or line with 18 paper baking cups.
Measure the apple cider vinegar and almond milk into blender jug. Let stand until curdled - about 5 minutes. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Put dates together with almond milk mixture, coconut oil and vanilla in blender. Blend until creamy. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until blended. Spoon the batter into the prepared cups, dividing evenly.
Drop in blueberries and top with chopped hazelnuts.
Bake in the preheated oven until the tops spring back when lightly pressed (approximately 15-20 minutes). Cool in the pan set over a wire rack. When cool, arrange the cupcakes on a serving platter. Frost with desired frosting.

When we read the recipe, the chef Sarah Britton, promised they are so good you'll run around the kitchen in circles like a robot. It's true! These cookies are seriously addictive. It's hard to stop.

So I think you'll agree there is plenty to do on days like this!
