Rye Flour Chocolate Muffins

Hi, my name is Kristina, a city girl turned homesteader, mama of four, and former dental hygienist who found her true calling on five acres in Southern Idaho. My husband of eight years and I, left their fast-paced hometown to raise their family with purpose and simplicity. With no prior experience, we dove into homesteading—raising cows, chickens, turkeys, and goats to nourish our family. I also built a 7,500 sq. ft. garden that yields more than we can eat or preserve, which I joyfully share with the community. 

A Family Friendly Treat

These are full of chocolate chips, so there’s extra chocolate in every bite, they will melt in your mouth! You can bake them right away or leave them in the fridge overnight to ferment, these bake up just like a bakery style muffin, and they are ultra moist! As a mom I am committed to finding healthy nutrient dense recipes that are also kid approved. This recipe checks all the boxes, and they must be good, they never last very long!

What is different about these muffins? 

These muffins use not only white bread flour made from their hard white wheat berries, but rye flour as well. Palouse Brands new Rye berries are perfect for making fresh milled rye flour at home. The rye berries are great quality, certified glyphosate residue free by the detox project, and Non-GMO. These rye berries are Washington grown, and are nutrient dense, perfect for a hearty chocolate muffin. These muffins are the perfect balance of a sweet treat while still being healthy, my days are busy and this recipe is great for a quick snack. We will never go back to store bought muffins after making this recipe. 

These hearty muffins are great to prep ahead and store in the freezer or make that day! Using Palouse brand Rye berries and small batch flour ensures that I know where it comes from and that it is premium quality.
