Buttery, sweet & oh so yummy, these einkorn breakfast muffins are just what mama ordered! Super simple with only about five minutes of hands on time, what could be better?

One of the best things about these einkorn breakfast muffins is how versatile they are!

Serve them plain, or add in some blueberries or a jam spread for a change of pace, it is not hard for them to become a breakfast staple.

Plus, utilizing fresh-ground flour, you are capitalizing on all of the added benefits of utilizing whole grain einkorn.

• Protein
• Vitamins
• Minerals

Not only that, but einkorn, as an ancient – non-hybridized – grain, has a different gluten structure and less gluten overall than modern strains of wheat commonly used in baking (hard red, and soft white as examples).

This makes it easier to digest, and triggers less of an inflammatory response than aforementioned modern strains of wheat.

Disclosure – Regardless of the lower gluten content, if you have celiac disease, this grain is not for you as it does still contain gluten!

How to Make Easy & Versatile Einkorn Breakfast Muffins:

Step 1:

Add flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon to a large mixing bowl.

Step 2:

Add your maple syrup (or honey), milk, and melted butter.

Step 3:

Mix all of the ingredients until well incorporated.

The batter might ‘puff up’ a little as the baking powder reacts with the liquid ingredients – making it more of a cake batter consistency.

Step 4:

Use a 1/4 cup to measure out the batter, pouring it into a well greased (or lined) muffin tin.

Step 5:

Place the muffins in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Once the muffins are done – a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean – pull out of the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Enjoy!
