Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 2 cups einkorn flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup cinnamon sugar for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of einkorn flour, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Whisk the dry ingredients together until they are well blended and free of lumps.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of melted butter, and 1 large egg until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
- Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- In a small bowl, prepare the cinnamon sugar topping by mixing 1/4 cup of cinnamon sugar (a blend of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon) together until well combined.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously over the tops of each muffin batter in the muffin tin.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delicious Einkorn Cinnamon Roll Muffins warm or at room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container for a few days or frozen for longer storage.
Tips
- Measure Accurately: For the best results, make sure to measure your einkorn flour and other ingredients accurately. Use a kitchen scale if possible, as it can help ensure consistency in your baking.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins, so a few lumps are perfectly fine!
- Customize Your Topping: Feel free to get creative with the cinnamon sugar topping! You can add chopped nuts or even a drizzle of icing for an extra touch of sweetness.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens vary, so keep an eye on your muffins as they bake. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean when they are done.
- Storage Tips: To keep your muffins fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or freeze them for longer storage. Just pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to enjoy them warm!
