Delicious Fresh Milled Mini Muffins: Your Go-To Recipe

Anyone else spending an arm and a leg on unhealthy store mini muffins because toddlers just *love* tiny muffins?

Prior to starting fresh milled flour, I had made the switch to making my own mini muffins at home. A double batch lasts just barely a week at my house! When I started FMF (fresh milled flour), I just couldn’t get the recipe to not be dry and barely palatable, but this is my go-to recipe now. Mix in any extras you like, but our favorites are mini chocolate chips or homemade cinnamon chips (recipe coming soon!)

This is my double batch recipe! Makes roughly 128 mini muffins.

Ingredients

460 g soft white (can also use spelt)
155 g hard red (or hard white or all spelt)
330 g sugar
230 g salted butter, melted (1 c)
40 g tallow, melted (or additional butter, olive oil, avocado oil, lard, etc in a liquid form)
2 T vanilla
4 t baking powder
1 t cinnamon
½ t salt
330 g whole milk (or buttermilk)
100 g Greek yogurt (plain or flavored, I like greek for the bit of protein)
2 eggs
Chocolate chips, cinnamon chips, or chopped fruit (whole berries is fine for full sized but too big for mini muffins)

Instructions

Mill grains finely
Combine dry ingredients in one bowl
Combine wet ingredients in another bowl
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix gently until all the flour is wet.
Let sit at least 10 min to soften the bran
Preheat oven to 350* F
Put small scoops into each muffin cup, a 2 tsp (#100) cookie scoop is perfect for mini muffins (Be sure to use muffin liners or put an oil into the wells to help them release. I use Pam but I know many avoid Pam)
Bake at 350 for 7-9 min, be sure to pull out at just barely done as they will finish in the pan. I let sit in the pan 2 minutes then flip the pan over to pop them out. If they cool in the pan they will be very difficult to remove, and removed right out of the oven they will squish

These can be made as full sized muffins but I haven’t done it yet, so the time/temperature may need a bit of adjusting.
