Einkorn Blueberry Streusel Muffin Recipe
Ingredients
For the Muffins:
- 1 ½ cups (260g) blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 2 ½ cups (300 g) All-Purpose Einkorn Flour, or 3 cups (288 g) jovial Whole Grain Einkorn Flour, plus more to coat the blueberries
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 6 tablespoons (84g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup (100g) sugar
- 1 cup (220 g) buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
For the Streusel Topping:
- ½ cup (33g) rolled oats
- ¼ cup (30g) All-Purpose Einkorn Flour or ¼ cup (24 g) jovial Whole Grain Einkorn Flour
- ¼ cup (50g) brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 F. Line a standard muffin pan with muffin liners.
- Place the blueberries in a small bowl and toss with a few teaspoons of flour.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In another medium mixing bowl, whisk together the butter, eggs, sugar, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest.
- Fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and stir to combine with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula.
- Add the blueberries, stirring carefully to incorporate.
- Make the streusel topping: in a small bowl, combine the oats, flour, and brown sugar and stir to combine. Using your fingertips, work the butter into the dry ingredients until incorporated – the mixture should be chunky without any dry bits of flour remaining in the bottom of the bowl.
- Fill the muffin cups nearly to the top of the liner, and top with a spoonful of streusel topping.
- Bake for 5 minutes at 425 F, then reduce the oven temperature to 375 F and bake for an additional 15-17 minutes, or until muffins are golden brown.
- Allow muffins to cool completely in the pan before enjoying.

They come out of the oven looking juuuuust slightly more moist in the middle than I am used to, but after 1-2 days I think this is a good thing, so the muffins will not dry out over time.
I was even surprised that my fruit remained suspended throughout the muffin--so often, my fruit all falls to the bottom.
I attribute my success firstly to a great recipe (THANK YOU!), secondly to weighing all of my ingredients, and third to sticking to the cardinal rules of muffins: letting my oven sit at 425 for a good 20 mins before I put the muffins in--and not opening the oven door!
I used about 1 1/4 cup blueberries and that was more than enough. I also used kefir instead of buttermilk.
And I have to say that I just love this wonderful, all-purpose einkorn flour. The nutrition factor is great!
