Millet Muffins Recipes

MILLET MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 16 muffin cups.
• In a large bowl, mix the whole wheat flour, millet flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, vegetable oil, and honey. Stir buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture just until evenly moist. Transfer batter to the prepared muffin cups.
• Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.

OATMEAL MILLET MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350. Butter 12 muffin cups.
• Stir the oats into the boiling water, cover, remove form heat and let stand 20 minutes. Cool.
• Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Slowly add the white and brown sugars, beating until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla and the eggs and beat until well blended.
• Add the cooled oatmeal to the butter mixture and stir well to blend. Add the flour mixture and stir. Stir in the millet.
• Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling about 2/3 full. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until a straw inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
• Gently run a table knife around the edge of each muffin, lift them out and place on a rack to cool. These muffins freeze well.

BLUEBERRY MILLET MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a muffin pan with 12 muffin liners.
• In a small bowl, combine the rice milk and lemon juice and set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine 1 cup of the sugar and the egg replacer, mixing on medium speed for about 20 seconds.
• Add the rice milk mixture, vanilla, canola oil, and lemon zest. Mix for 30 seconds.
• In a separate bowl, combine the flour mix, millet flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until just combined, about 20 seconds.
• Turn off the mixer and fold in the blueberries.
• Fill the liners to the rim with batter. Spoon 1 teaspoon of blueberry jam onto the top of each muffin, pushing it into the center slightly. Use a chopstick or skewer to swirl the jam into the muffins. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with the remaining 2 teaspoons sugar.
• Bake in the center of the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a lovely golden on top, rotating the pan halfway through. Transfer the muffins to a cooling rack.

CRANBERRY MILLET MUFFIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a standard 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray; set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and millet. Working over the bowl, toss the cranberries in a medium bowl with about 2 teaspoons of the flour mixture to lightly coat; set aside flour mixture and cranberries.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until combined. Mix in vanilla.
• With the mixer on low speed, add the reserved flour mixture, beating until just combined. Add milk, beating, until just combined; do not overmix. Using a rubber spatula, fold in cranberries. Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin cups.
• Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until the muffins are golden brown and a cake tester inserted in the center of one muffin comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool 10 minutes. Turn muffins on their sides in their cups, and let cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.
