Why Use Fresh Milled Flour?
Fresh milled flour is a nutritional powerhouse that brings a whole new level of goodness to your baking. Unlike processed flours, it includes all parts of the grain, the bran, germ, and endosperm. That means you’re getting the full spectrum of nutrients nature intended. This includes plenty of fiber for healthy digestion, a solid dose of B vitamins and minerals like iron and magnesium, and a boost of antioxidants, including vitamin E.
Because it’s freshly milled, this flour doesn’t lose its delicate nutrients to oxidation or long storage times, like commercial flours often do. You’re working with all-natural, wholesome flour that’s free of bleaching agents, preservatives, or additives. The fiber content also slows sugar absorption, which helps stabilize blood sugar levels. Fresh milled flour supports a healthy gut microbiome thanks to its prebiotic fiber, which nourishes beneficial bacteria in your gut.
Oh, and did I mention the flavor? The nutty, earthy taste of fresh flour is worlds apart from its refined counterparts and makes baking a wholesome delight you’ll actually crave. With fresh milled flour, you’re not just baking—you’re crafting meals with nutrition, care, and amazing flavor baked right in.
Which Wheat Berries Should I Grind?
For recipes such as muffins and pancakes, I recommend milled soft white wheat berries for a lighter and moist texture. This muffin recipe also works wonderfully with hard white wheat berries, but I would not use hard red wheat because it will make the muffins dense.
Tools for Milling and Muffin Making
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.

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.
