Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose einkorn flour
- 1/4 cup butter (softened)
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup dried blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a mini muffin tin and set aside.
- Optional: Add dried blueberries to a cup of hot water. Let them soak for 5-10 minutes. This will help plump the blueberries back up before adding to the batter.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine softened butter and brown sugar. Cream together until light and fluffy.
- Add in the egg, vanilla extract, and milk, stirring to combine.
- Add in the dry ingredients, stirring well before adding in the dried blueberries. Mix well.
- Using a small cookie scoop, scoop out small portions of the muffin batter into the muffin tin.
- Optional: Sprinkle the tops of each unbaked muffin with a light sprinkle of sugar.
- Bake in preheated oven for 13-15 minutes or until lightly browned on top.
- Serve warm with a small slab of butter. Enjoy!
Notes
- Blueberry Variations: You can use fresh or frozen blueberries in place of the dried blueberries! Be aware if you use frozen, your batter will more than likely turn purple. It will still be delicious! If using fresh blueberries, toss the berries with a little flour (couple tablespoons) to ensure they don’t all sink to the bottom of the muffins.
- Bake time can vary. For best results, make sure to keep a close eye on the muffins after about 10 minutes.
- Storage: Baked muffins will store well in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Freezing Instructions: These muffins can be baked and then put in the freezer to freeze for up to 3 months. After baking, make sure to cool completely and then place the muffins in a freezer bag or container. When ready to eat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature on the counter. To warm them up, microwave for 20 seconds or heat in the oven at a low temperature until warm.
