Recipes
Einkorn flour makes flavorful, delicious muffins and in this recipe, we have cut back a bit on the butter and sugar so you can enjoy a healthy breakfast treat made with ancient einkorn wheat.
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup (100 g) sugar, plus 1 tablespoon for dusting
- 1 cup (220 g) buttermilk
- 2 cups (240 g) All-Purpose Einkorn Flour, plus extra to coat blueberries
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 6 tbsp. (84 g) butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a large mixing bowl with a blender or in a standing mixer, beat the eggs on medium speed until foamy for 2 minutes.
- Add ½ cups sugar and continue to beat on medium for 30 seconds until creamy.
- Add the buttermilk and beat for 30 seconds.
- In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and sea salt together.
- Add the blueberries to a third bowl and coat with a few tablespoons of the flour.
- Now, gently fold in the flour to the egg mixture with a stiff spatula until smooth.
- Fold in melted butter.
- Add the blueberries and continue to mix very gently until all the ingredients are incorporated, but try not to break open the blueberries or the batter will be colored blue.
- For oversized muffins, fill 6 muffin cups with ½ cup of batter. For smaller muffins, use ¼ cup of batter.

- Bake for 30 minutes for large muffins, and about 20 minutes for smaller.
Tips
We have cut back on the quantity of sugar and butter in this recipe, for a lighter muffin. Give it a try as is, we think its perfect, but you can also as much as double the sugar and butter content to you liking.
