Blueberry Almond Einkorn Muffins
With the delicious pairing of blueberry and almond, these easy einkorn muffins are the perfect treat to have with your morning coffee or tea!
Equipment
- 1 Full Sized Muffin Tin
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh or frozen and thawed blueberries (130 grams)
- 2 cups all-purpose einkorn flour (240 grams)
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking powder (8 grams)
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed (113 grams)
- 1 cup whole milk (240 grams), brought to almost room temperature
- 2 eggs (approx. 113 grams), brought to almost room temperature
- 1 stick unsalted butter (8 TBSP), melted and slightly cooled (114 grams)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract (4 grams)
- ¾ tsp pure almond extract (3 grams)
Instructions
- Move oven rack to the middle position and preheat oven to 400 °F
- Line muffin tin with cupcake liners or spray with cooking spray.
- Place blueberries in a small bowl and set aside.
- Measure the einkorn flour into a large bowl. Scoop out one Tablespoon of the flour and add it to the bowl of blueberries. Toss gently to mix.
- Whisk the salt, baking powder, and brown sugar into the large bowl of flour.
- In another bowl or glass measuring cup whisk together milk, eggs, cooled butter, vanilla, and almond. (I use the large measuring cup which measured the milk.)
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently stir a few times, leaving some flour unmixed.
- Add the blueberries to the mixture and stir a few more times, scraping the bottom of the bowl to draw up any flour from the bottom. Do not over-mix! Batter will be a bit lumpy and some spots of flour may remain - this is okay.
- Spoon batter into muffin tin, filling each well 3/4 of the way. Do not fill all the way to the top. Once the batter settles in each well, you may add a little more to reach 3/4. You may have a tiny bit of batter leftover depending on if you used liners or not.
- Place muffins in oven and immediately reduce oven temperature to 375 °F
- Bake until lightly golden and muffins spring back to the touch, about 20-23 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- When the muffins are done, immediately transfer them to a cooling rack. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
