Einkorn Chocolate Banana Muffins
Bakery-style chocolate banana muffins made with freshly milled einkorn flour, ripe bananas, and loaded with chocolate chips. You will be shocked these are made with an ancient grain.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 255 g freshly milled einkorn flour (2 cups)
- 23 g cocoa powder (1/4 cup)
- 5 g baking soda (1 tsp)
- 4 g salt (1/2 tsp)
- 6 tablespoons butter melted
- 105 g brown sugar (1/2 cup)
- 2 large eggs
- 4 large ripe bananas
- 4 g vanilla extract (1 tsp)
- 181 g chocolate chips (1 cup)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-count muffin pan with muffin liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the freshly milled einkorn flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Stir in the melted butter and brown sugar until combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, then stir until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to allow the einkorn flour to hydrate.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Fill each muffin cup to the top. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool the muffins in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack.
Notes
Pro Tip: Let the batter rest for 10 minutes before filling your muffin cups. This gives the freshly milled einkorn flour time to hydrate and makes a big difference in the final texture.
