WHAT IS EINKORN FLOUR?

Since never eating bread again was NOT an option, I had to figure out ways around my sensitivity.

One of the first things I founds was to substitute all purpose flour with triticum monococcum, aka Einkorn. Einkorn, which means ‘One Grain’ in German, is a type of wheat that was first cultivated more than 10,000 years ago. It is the only variety of wheat that has not been crossed with other species.

It contains more vitamins and minerals and less gluten than modern wheat flour, and its sweet flavor and silky texture make it an easy substitute for traditional wheat flour. This is what makes this the best banana muffins with einkorn flour recipe!

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF EINKORN FLOUR?

  • Einkorn is made up of only 14 chromosomes
  • Contains 4 grams of protein per serving
  • Trace essential and dietary minerals such as Thiamin are found in einkorn
  • Contains several B Vitamins
  • A significant amount of the powerful antioxidant Lutein
  • Higher Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) than durum and bread wheat
  • Higher content of tocols and carotenoids than other species of wheat

CAN EINKORN BE USED AS A FLOUR SUBSTITUTION?

I’m gonna be really honest and just tell you that it can be tricky to get einkorn figured out at first. While it is advertised as a 1:1 substitution, I strongly recommend finding recipes from trusted sources and learning from the tips they include with the recipe.

Using Jovial All-Purpose einkorn flour has yielded the best results of all the brands I've tried so far. The flour truly is a light and airy type, with a softness most brands can't seem to achieve. I purchased a variety of Jovial products during a sale last year and cannot stop baking with it! The pasta is delicious and the flour is truly a 1:1 substitute for standard flour.

HELPFUL EQUIPMENT FOR MAKING MUFFINS

  • 12-cup muffin tin
  • Mixing bowl

INGREDIENTS FOR EINKORN BANANA MUFFINS

  • Egg, 1
  • Mashed ripe bananas, 1 ⅓ cups
  • Einkorn flour, 1 cup or substitute traditional all-purpose flour
  • Oatmeal, 1 cup
  • Baking soda, ½ teaspoon
  • Organic cane sugar, ¼ cup
  • Brown sugar, ½ cup
  • 2 Teaspoon baking powder
  • Salt, 1 heaping spoonful
  • Ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon
  • Vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan or line them with parchment liners and grease.
