Einkorn Millet Muffins
These Einkorn Millet Muffins are so flavorful and healthy! Full of nutrition and very filling, they make the perfect breakfast along side an egg or a smoothie!
Lately, my husband and I have been leaning more into using ancient wheat varieties in all of our baked goods. We have been following a more biblical diet for over 2 months and desire to eat foods that more closely related to the foods eaten in bible times.
Einkorn surely fits that narrative. It is one of the oldest wheat varieties known. It is very flavorful and is easier to digest than modern day wheat. They tend to be more filling as well, in my opinion.
I chose to use a mix of honey and maple syrup for a uniquely sweet and moist muffin.
Since I only use freshly milled flour in my kitchen, I mill fresh Einkorn berries in my grain mill just before baking making these especially healthy.
The millet in these muffins lends a delightful crunch as well as adds to the nutritional value.
These muffins are just sweet enough to have as an after dinner snack. Not too sweet but just right!

If possible, would appreciate ingredients have Weight as well as mass-measurements. Would help to know how much to Mill. Muffins sound delish. Thank you.
For this recipe, I would mill 300 grams of the berries. This is a rough estimate, because, depending on how fine you mill your flour it will make a small difference. However, the muffins will turn out just fine even if it’s off a bit.
