How To Stop Blueberries From Sinking To The Bottom
Blueberries are a delicious addition to any baked good, but they can sometimes sink to the bottom of the pan while baking, which can result in an uneven distribution of fruit throughout the finished product. To prevent this from happening, there is a simple step you can take. Firstly, toss the blueberries in a tablespoon or two of flour before adding them to the batter. This will help to coat the berries and prevent them from sinking. So, you can ensure that your blueberries stay evenly distributed throughout your baked goods, for a delicious and visually appealing finished product.
Ingredients To Make Blueberry Muffins With Fresh Milled Flour
- 2 cups (240g) Fresh milled flour I milled 120g soft white wheat, and 120g spelt berries
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup olive oil 113g
- 1 egg
- 1 cup Plain yogurt (240g) I love to use my homemade yogurt, and vanilla works great too!
- 3/4 cup sugar (156g)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp cardamom
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg I like to use fresh grated nutmeg
- 1 tsp vanilla I have a recipe for homemade vanilla too!
- 1 cup blueberries 166g can use fresh or frozen
How to Make Homemade Blueberry Muffins With Fresh Milled Flour
- Preheat your oven to 400° F
- I start will milling half soft white wheat and half spelt berries. This will make about 2 cups of flour in total (240g)
- To the flour, I add salt, baking soda, and baking powder and stir
- Then I add the oil, egg, yogurt, and sugar and stir to combine.
- Next, I add in the spices and vanilla and stir.
- Lastly, I stir in a cup of blueberries. (*see notes how to prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the batter.)
- Allow the batter to sit for 10-15 minutes before baking. This will allow the freshly milled flour to start absorbing the liquid, and the bran to soften.
- Line your muffin tin, and put about 1/3 cup of batter in each well. Bake for about 18 minutes.
- After they are baked leave for about 10 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack. Eat right away or wait. Any leftovers can be frozen for a later date.
Benefits of using fresh milled wheat
- Fresh milled flour retains all the nutrients of the wheat berry.
- The bran is high in good fiber!
- The germ holds the highest nutritional content including, but not limited, to fatty acids and a huge boost of Vitamin E!
- Regular commercial flour is stripped of nearly all it’s nutritional value during processing. The bran and germ are removed, because the oil in them would cause premature spoilage of the flour. Therefore, the small expiration date window would not be ideal for commercial sale profits.

Yummy! But, I wonder – could I use coconut oil in place of the olive oil? If so – at what ratio?
You can sub coconut oil in place of the olive oil for the same amount.
