These einkorn sourdough chocolate chip muffins are easy to make and delicious too! I use sourdough discard for these muffins, but, if you have active starter, that’s fine to use too!
What Is Einkorn?
If you’re new to einkorn, einkorn is a type of wheat. It has a simple genetic structure and has never been hybridized, which makes it easier to digest. It contains more antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals than modern wheat, especially if it’s purchased in it’s whole grain form and not all purpose, which has had the bran removed.
Taste-wise, it is nutty and warm, but it’s hardly noticeable in these einkorn sourdough muffins. Texture-wise, einkorn baked goods tend to be denser than goods made with modern wheat, but these muffins are light and fluffy! If you’re baking for picky eaters, this is the recipe to try!
