Chocolate Chip Muffin (Milled Soft White Wheat Berries)

Sharing is caring!

Healthy muffin with freshly milled soft white wheat berries. Sweetened with honey and semi- sweet chocolate chips. Easy breakfast for on the go, busy mornings or dessert. I like making these the night before and even keeping some in the freezer. This chocolate chip muffin recipe is easy to include banana, raisins or even blueberries as well.

I have been milling my own wheat for awhile now. When I found out about the chemicals and toxins in the store bought flour, I knew I had to make a big change. Thankfully the processes of milling flour is easy. Only one more step was added to my baking steps. Freshly milled flour has more nutrients and minerals than the flour from the store. This is because, when milling flour, the flour looses its nutrients from oxidization. Oxidization is a normal process food goes through. Think about a banana turning brown or an apple turning brown after being cut, the same thing happens for grain when being cut or milled. After about 3 days the flour has lost nearly all of its nutrients and can even become rancid.

A long time ago, people wanted to make flour available to everyone easily at a store. These people knew the flour would spoil after three days. So they invented a steal rolling mill to separate out the bran and germ, which contains natural oil that spoils the flour, from the endosperm. This was a miracle at the time as the flour was now able to store for a long time. Many years go by and we now know that the endosperm contains mostly starch and lacks almost all of nutrients wheat was to contain. By digesting the store flour, people now have gluten intolerance, cancers and diseases that were never around 130 years ago. Thankfully when you freshly mill flour and bake it, most nutrients will stay intact.

Measure out 270 grams of soft white wheat berries. Mill wheat berries on fine setting into bowl, I use a huge bowl for double batches or if I know I am making bread with the muffins. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, oil, honey, and milk. I whisk it together like an omelet.

In the bowl with flour, add baking powder, baking soda and salt whisking together to blend well.

Pour flour mixture into the bowl with liquids. Combine but try not to over mix so it doesn't become too dense when baking. Sometime allowing the batter to sit for 5-10 minutes will help the flour to absorb the liquid.

Mix in chocolate chips to batter. Batter will be very wet or runny. This makes for a very moist freshly milled chocolate chip muffin. I will substitute chocolate chips for blue berries, raisins or cranberries or add a banana sometimes.

Scoop out batter into well greased or lined regular sized muffin tins to nearly the top. I like using these muffin liners from Amazon, they are dye free and hold up well.

Bake for 20- 25 minutes. Muffins should be golden and toothpick come out clean when poked.Let muffins cool completely before removing.Store in air-tight container or bag at room temp or in the freezer.
