Blueberry Spice Muffins - Fresh Milled Flour
These are not your average blueberry muffins! They are scrumptious and are great for breakfast, or really anytime of the day or night! And made with fresh milled flour, adding to the energy boost!
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh milled flour 240g I milled 120g soft white wheat, and 120g spelt berries
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 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
Instructions
- 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.

Notes
For traditional Blueberry Muffins, you can leave out the spices. Try it both ways to find your favorite!
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.
You can use this as a base muffin recipe and try adding other berries, or add-ins to change up the flavors!
