We love whole grain around here, and a whole grain muffin is speaking my language. I've made this recipe with Whole Grain Red Fife and Red Fife Multipurpose. I LOVED the flavour and texture the WG Red Fife brought to the muffin. However, if you wish to make these with Red Fife Multipurpose, please see the notes below for a few alterations!
Ingredients
Muffins
- 2 cup Whole Grain Red Fife Flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 ½ cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
Blueberry Syrup
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 tbsp honey or sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Crumble
- ½ cup Whole Grain Red Fife
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- Pinch of salt
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
Step One
Preheat your oven to 425.
Mix flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Set aside.
Step Two
Melt butter and let cool.
Whisk eggs, vanilla, milk and butter together in a small bowl.
Step Three
Add your wet ingredients to your dry ingredients. Mix until incorporated but do not over-mix. Next, add your blueberries and fold them into your batter.
Step Four
Line your muffin tray with liners and fill each ⅔ full. Set aside
Step Five
Make your blueberry syrup by adding blueberries, honey or sugar and lemon juice to a small pot. Cook on medium-low until they are soft. Drizzle a tbsp of syrup on top of each muffin.
Step Six
Make your crumble.
Combine flour, sugars, lemon zest, salt, and butter and mix until it forms a crumble. Sprinkle a generous amount of crumble on each muffin.
Step Seven
Bake at 425F for 15 mins, then reduce the heat to 375F and bake for 5-10 more mins depending on whether you use large or regular muffin liners.
Notes:
The blueberry syrup and crumble are unnecessary, yet they are excellent additions!
You can also make this recipe with Red Fife Multipurpose. However, I would increase the sugar from 1 cup to 1 1/3 cups and increase your flour from 2 cups to 2 1/4 cups flour.
Enjoy!
