Zucchini Muffins with Freshly Milled Einkorn Flour
These whole wheat einkorn zucchini muffins are packed with nutrients and flavor! I highly recommend doubling this recipe to freeze some for later. Einkorn wheat has never been hybridized. It contains approximately 30% more protein than other wheat varieties. It also has more antioxidants, B vitamins and trace minerals. Those with wheat intolerances are typically able to digest einkorn wheat easier, even though it is not gluten free.

- Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just incorporated.
- Let the mixture sit to give the einkorn flour time to absorb into the liquid while you grease the muffin tin.

Notes
Once completely cooled, store in an airtight container, lining muffins with paper towels both on the bottom and top. Do not refrigerate, as this will spoil the muffins quicker. They will last covered, at room temperature, for several days. Alternately you may freeze them for several months.
