This healthier version of a bakery-style muffin is just what every
one needs! It is light, tender, and a bit healthier than the
original. You are going to love these!
Why Sprouted Grain?
Why would I use sprouted grain flour? Well, aside from it being a
whole grain flour, and a healthier option, there are some other
benefits of sprouted grain flours.
They generally have a milder flavor that most people like better.
Another awesome thing about sprouted grain flours is they are easier
to digest. Some people who struggle with grain intolerances have
found the sprouted grains so much easier to digest.
Amazon sells several varieties of sprouted grain flours.
Baking The Healthier Sprouted Grain Pecan Muffins
Here is one trick to getting tall, bakery-style muffins. Bake them
hot, to begin with. I started with 425F for 8 minutes, then reduced
the temp to 350 degrees for the last 8-10. This created a beautiful
"oven spring", meaning a lot of lift in those muffins.
The Finished Muffins
Let me tell you, the smell of these muffins is incredible. You will
not be able to resist! The texture and flavor of these muffins are on
point! Grab a glass of milk, and sit back and relax. You deserve it!
Note 1: or other whole wheat flour I used a sprouted spelt. Make sure
you spoon and measure. Meaning, spoon into your measuring cup,
ensuring to break up the flour. It gets compacted in shipping and
storing in grocery stores.
Note 2: or other granulated sugar of choice
Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 16 minutes
Total: 31 minutes
Preheat oven to 425F..
If you are using tulip liners, line 10 muffin inserts with liners. If
you are not using the tulip liners, spray 14 muffin inserts to prepare.
In a small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sprouted grain flour,
baking powder, baking soda, and other seasonings.
In a medium-size bowl, mix the butter, oil, brown sugar, eggs, sour
cream, milk, and vanilla. Now, combine the wet and dry plus the
chopped pecans. Mix them ONLY to combine. Do not overmix.
Divide between the 10 muffins with the tulip liners if you are using
them. If not, divide between the 14 muffins.
Place in preheated oven and bake for 8 minutes, if you are using the
tulip liners. If you are baking regular-sized muffins, bake for 5
minutes on 425F. Reduce the heat and bake for another 8 to 10 minutes
with the tulip liners. For the regular muffins, bake for another 6 to
8 minutes. With any type of whole grain baking, you will want to
underbake just slightly, the whole grain flours absorb more liquid
than refined flours.
Remove from oven and allow to cool just a few minutes. Gently remove
the muffins from the pan and move to a cooling rack.
They are amazing straight out of the oven and hot, but are still
really good cooled. If you are using them for meal prep, I prefer to
freeze them. Then when you are ready to eat, simply heat in the microwave.
