There’s something so grounding about baking at this time of year! ~The scent of spelt, apple, & OnGuard filling the kitchen ~ autumn/Winter season comfort at it's best. These one-bowl muffins are simple, wholesome, & full of goodness:  mineral-rich apple + oats  warm, spiced notes from OnGuard  soft sweetness from vanilla oil + coconut sugar  & that finishing touch of Nature’s Divine Bliss cacao paste (or Cacao’ramac for a blonde choc twist ). Perfect for cosy mornings, after school, post-walk snacks, or shared with a cuppa by the fire. Here's the full recipe below ~ 🌿 Ingredients:

200g spelt flour (wholegrain or white, or a mix)

50g porridge oats

1 ½ tsp baking powder

½ tsp bicarbonate of soda

¼ tsp sea salt

80g coconut sugar (or light brown sugar)

2 flax “eggs” → (mix 2 tbsp ground flaxseed with 6 tbsp warm water; rest 5–10 min

until 'gelled')

150g apple purée / unsweetened apple sauce

75ml melted coconut oil

2-3 drops dōTERRA Vanilla essential oil 3-4 drops dōTERRA OnGuard essential oil 🌿 (adds a warm, & spiced citrus note)

2 tbsp mylk of choice

Optional: a small chopped apple, a handful of raisins or chopped nuts

🍎 Method:

Preheat oven to 180 °C (160 °C fan) and line a muffin tray with cases.

In a large bowl, whisk together:

flax eggs, apple purée, oil, dōTERRA Vanilla, mylk, and dōTERRA OnGuard until smooth.

Add the dry ingredients straight into the same bowl — flour, oats, baking powder, bicarb, salt, & coconut sugar.

Fold gently until just combined (don’t overmix).

Stir in any chopped apple, nuts, or raisins if using.

Spoon into muffin cases (about ¾ full)

Bake for 18–20 minutes, until golden and springy to the touch.

Once baked, while still warm, sprinkle the tops with finely chopped Nature’s Divine Bliss cacao paste or Cacao’ramac for a blonde-chocolate twist — or both! 😋

✨ Tips

*Always mix essential oils into the wet ingredients first so they disperse evenly
