Spelt Blueberry Muffins

Using spelt flour in this blueberry muffin recipe gives it a delicious, nutty flavor and a unique twist on traditional muffins. Spelt flour has a nutty taste and it’s really easy to incorporate into baked goods (p.s. read more about our favorite ancient grains here!).

In case you haven’t noticed yet, we love spelt flour and bake with it often (i.e. our spelt chocolate chip cookies, spelt banana bread, and spelt Irish soda bread, to name a few!)

These blueberry spelt muffins have a tender texture from spelt flour, making them a delicious twist on the classic. Dare we say, we might prefer this version over traditional blueberry muffins!

how to make them

Ready to make blueberry spelt muffins? Like most muffin recipes, it’s pretty straightforward. For starters, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• sugar
• packed brown sugar
• vegetable oil
• eggs
• greek yogurt
• vanilla extract
• whole wheat spelt flour
• baking powder
• baking soda
• cinnamon
• salt
• blueberries (fresh or frozen both work just fine!)

Make sure you have plenty of muffin liners and a couple of good muffin tins. Those are pretty much the only special equipment items you need to get a delicious batch of these blueberry spelt muffins in the oven!

Here’s the quick step-by-step process, but be sure to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page for the full recipe with all of the details:

1. Prepare: Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners or spray with a nonstick spray (cupcake liners are always the easiest!).
2. Mix: In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, brown sugar, oil, eggs, yogurt, and vanilla. In a separate bowl, whisk together the spelt flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and then fold in the blueberries.
3. Bake: Fill the muffin tins about 3/4 of the way full, then place them in the oven for 5 minutes. After the first 5 minutes, decrease the oven temperature to 350°F and bake for another 17-20 minutes. Allow them to cool for 10 minutes, then remove from the muffin tins and cool them completely on a wire rack.

baker’s tips for blueberry spelt muffins

• You don’t have to use muffin liners but they’ve always been our go-to since it just makes muffin removal THAT MUCH EASIER. If you choose not to use them, don’t forget to spray a coating of nonstick spray on the pan.
• A high baking temperature in the first five minutes will give you beautifully tall, bakery-style muffins. The higher temperature activates the baking powder right away, so they get taller than they would if you were to bake them at 350° the entire time.

We know you’ll love these blueberry spelt muffins! There’s nothing like a smear of butter on a warm blueberry muffin with a hot cup of coffee, am I right?
