Ingredient list:
  • 2-2 1/2 cups grain (flour or up to 1 cup cooked grain)
  • 1 cup milk (buttermilk, soy milk, yogurt, etc.; could probably also substitute juice)
  • Up to 1/2 cup fat (ghee, oil, butter)
  • 1 egg (or substitute)
  • Up to 1/2 cup sweetener (honey, agave, molasses, etc.)
  • 2 teaspoons [baking powder Recipes]
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
  • Up to 1 1/2 cups additions (nuts, fruit, seasonings, etc.)


How to make it:
  • Combine dry ingredients.
  • Combine wet ingredients.
  • Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just combined; the batter should be lumpy.
  • Grease muffin tin and fill cups two-thirds full.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 400° for 20 minutes (give or take 5 minutes).
  • Or, bake a double batch in a 9x13" cake pan.
  • When done, cut into 15 pieces.
  • If you use a cooked grain, separate your eggs and beat the whites stiff before folding it into the batter. Or, blenderize all wet/moist ingredients together (except for those that need to retain their texture), which beats and fluffs up the eggs.
    Note:
    This recipe can be easily altered to make either sweet(like with fruit) or savory (cheesy-herb) muffins, depending on your preference.
