Ingredient List
Freshly Milled Flour
Freshly milled flour provides whole-grain goodness, packed with nutrients and perfect for wholesome baking.
Milk
Milk keeps the muffins moist and tender. For a dairy-free option, substitute with almond, oat, or coconut milk. Full-fat coconut milk adds extra creaminess.
Egg
Eggs give the muffins structure and help them rise beautifully.
Melted Butter
Melted butter adds richness to the muffins. Make sure it is cooled slightly before adding it to the batter. You can substitute with coconut oil, avocado oil, or any neutral-flavored oil.
Honey
Honey naturally sweetens the muffins and adds a warm flavor. For sweetener alternatives, use maple syrup, agave nectar, or even brown sugar for a different twist.
Strawberries
Juicy strawberries bring bursts of natural sweetness to every bite. I have used fresh, frozen, and dried strawberries with great success. Just note that frozen strawberries will turn the batter pink.
This recipe also includes salt, Baking Soda, and Baking Powder
Tools and Equipment
Grain Mill
There are two main types of grain mills that are easily available on the market today. A stone mill and an impact mill. If you are new to milling your own flour, I suggest checking out my post all about getting started on freshly milled flour.
Muffin Pan
Muffin pans, silicone molds, or whatever your preference, this is a must! Make sure you grease it really well.

Notes
What kind of wheat berries should I grind?
Soft white wheat berries would yield a fluffier, more tender muffin. Hard white wheat will also work well. I do not recommend hard red wheat berries. Mill your wheat berries on the fine setting and do not sift.
Storing and Freezing Instructions
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Alternatively, you can freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw to room temperature and rewarm in oven or microwave to enjoy.
