Instructions
Muffins
Preheat oven to 375 F. Line 12 muffin cups with papers.
In large bowl, mix together flours, baking powder, baking soda, hemp hearts, salt & lemon zest.
In separate bowl, mix egg, sugar, oil, almond extract, yogurt (sour cream) & lemon juice.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Stir just until combined.
Add zucchini & saskatoons until just combined. Spoon into muffin pan.
Bake for 15 to 17 minutes until tops are firm to the touch & centers test done using a toothpick.
Remove from oven & cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan.
Topping
In a small dish, combine jelly with water until smooth. Add saskatoon berries & mix to coat. Prepare small amount of whipped topping.
When muffins are completely cool, top each with a tsp of whipped topping then a Tbsp of glazed saskatoons.
The topping really isn’t necessary but adds a nice touch making an ordinary muffin become ‘special’.
