Seaweed Spice Muffins
Emily van Lidth de Jeude
Preheat oven to 380°F (muffins) or 350°F (cake).
If you don't have any wonderful freshly-harvested seaweed, soak dried seaweed (Wakame, Arame, or Sugar Kelp) until it's fully expanded and soft.
Strain.
In a blender, puree the following:
1 cup soaked seaweed
1/2 cup whole oats
1-1/2 cups milk
In a mixing bowl, mix the dry ingredients:
1-1/2 cups gluten-free flour mix (1/2 brown rice; 1/4 tapioca; 1/4 potato starch)
1/4 cup ground sesame seeds
1/4 cup ground flax seeds
2 tsp guar or xanthan gum
1 tbsp baking powder
1-1/2 tsp baking soda
1-1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp sea salt
2 tbsp speculaas kruiden
2-1/2 cups raw (Panela) sugar
1-1/2 tbsp egg replacer (or 3 eggs, and a bit less milk, added to blender, above)
1/2 cup butter
Mix in blender mix until thoroughly combined, then add:
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup chopped, candied ginger or chopped dates
Bake in 24 muffin-tins or 2 cake-pans or pie dishes until done.
