Muffins go with morning and coffee. These Morning Glory Muffins are chock full of apples, carrots, raisins, and a sprinkling of nuts.

Muffins are a quick breakfast for those of us who don’t have much time in the mornings. They can be frozen and thaw wonderfully with a fresh baked texture.

These muffins use up sourdough starter when you have extra that is not being used. Since I want to bake these muffins right after mixing I use sprouted flour in the dough. The sprouted flour gives the muffins a soft texture. You can use either sprouted spelt or sprouted wheat flour.

Sourdough bread is made by fermenting the dough naturally using occurring lactobacilli and wild yeast. This was the usual form of leavening bread down into the Middle Ages until it was replaced by other products. French Bakers brought sourdough techniques to California during the Gold Rush where it remains large part of the culture today. To me, there is something special about taking flour and water and turning it into a bubbling starter.

My starter, pictured below, is over 8 years old. From this jar, I have sent our thousands of jars/packs of starter to help others begin their journey into this intriguing world of baking. If you would like to purchase a mature starter to give you a jumpstart into baking you can purchase one on the “Buy it Now” page.

Here is am getting ready to mix the wet and dry ingredients together. I just fold them lightly until you don’t see any flour. I find that an immersion blender works great to blend the wet ingredients together.

This is how full I fill the muffins. I sprinkle just a few walnut pieces over the top of each muffin.

Sprouted Wheat Flour has already been sprouted making it easier for your body to digest.

I use a larger muffin pan than the regular size. That way I have just one large muffin for breakfast.

I have all sizes of cookie scoops. They are so handy when you want a consistent size product. This company has all kinds of sizes.

I love my Immersion blender … I use it every single day! I blend my coffee, eggs, just anything that I want smooth.
