Do you have fond memories of a certain recipe from your childhood? I have more than one of course, but one that stands out most is the memory of making blueberry muffins with my mom and younger brother.
We would use a box mix that had canned blueberries included. I still remember the rich vanilla flavor of the batter before we added the syrupy blueberries and the way the batter turned a light blue as we mixed them in...
I remember intentionally doing a poor job of scrapping the bowl when we filled the muffin tin so that I could eat the batter raw, and of course, my mom never corrected me.
Einkorn Blueberry Muffin Recipe
Those days were many years ago and we have since then learned more about the way we eat and the ingredients we choose to use. But the deliciousness and fond memories remain!
A few months ago I decided I wanted to try to recreate that easy blueberry muffin recipe to surprise my mom with on some cool morning. I thought I had finally done it, but I still had some doubts.
Fast forward to yesterday when I was making another test batch and my mom walks in! I played it cool because I didn't want to give anything away...
She leaned into the bowl and took a deep breath, scooped her index finger through the batter, and took a taste.
I could tell that I hit the jackpot when she closed her eyes and said, "How did you make it taste like blueberry muffins?". I laughed and said, "Well, they are blueberry muffins." To which she responded, "No, the box mix that we used to make. These taste just like them!".
So now we get to remember those sweet times and our box mix blueberry muffins, only now we are using einkorn flour, grass-fed butter, raw milk, and organic blueberries!

The einkorn flour helps these muffins stay relatively healthy blueberry muffins (though they do include sugar, you can sub in honey instead!), so we have them quite often!
If you don't use einkorn flour in your home, you can use any wheat flour in place of the einkorn without any issues!

Chuck says
I am going to try this recipe this weekend. I plan on making in a 6 muffin jumbo pan. Should I adjust the baking times or temperatures?
Victoria says
Hi Chuck! Sounds delicious! You can keep the temperature the same, but check them after the original baking time. You’ll have to just test with a toothpick until it comes out clean. I would imagine they will be done with the original baking time, but they might need an additional 5 minutes or so!
Let me know how they go in the jumbo pan!
Chuck says
They turned out great! It took an extra 13 minutes for the toothpick to come out clean. Topped them with a light cream cheese frosting and they were delish.
Victoria says
Oh that’s wonderful to hear!! I’m thrilled to know that! I have a jumbo muffin pan that I will have to use next time I make these <3 And I'm going to note in the recipe the time for using a jumbo muffin pan. Thank you!
Andrea Shackleford says
Would the recipe be the same (as far as measurement of flour) using whole grain Einkorn ?
Victoria says
Hi Andrea! I believe so, but if the batter is too thick I would just add a bit more milk. You want it to be thick, but not SO thick… you know? Anyway, yes I think it would be the same. Let me know if you try it!
sarah says
would it be okay to substitute a nut milk for the raw milk?
Victoria says
Absolutely! Enjoy!
Kris says
These muffins came out perfect! Even the kid who dislikes blueberries loved them. They were ready 2 minutes early which might have to do with my oven but anyone making them should check them a little earlier.
Victoria says
Whoo hoo! I’m so glad!
Rich says
Could I use honey instead of sugar and would it be the same amount? I saw that you used honey in your blueberry bread.
Victoria says
Hey Rich, I only use honey or maple syrup in this recipe now and it’s amazing! I usually do 1/2 or 3/4 the amount called for when subbing in honey for sugar.
If you want to add more honey, then you might also need to add a bit more flour to account for the extra liquid.
Let me know if you try them!
