Equipment

1 Grain mill

Ingredients

2 cups fresh milled soft white wheat 280 grams
1 cup sugar 192 grams
2 teaspoons baking powder 8 grams
½ teaspoons salt 3 grams
2 eggs
½ cup butter melted 113 grams
1 teaspoon vanilla 5 grams
¼ cup milk 61 grams
1 cup blueberries

Streusel topping:

¼ cup soft white wheat flour 35 grams
1 tablespoon brown sugar 13 grams
1 tablespoons sugar 12 grams
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons cold butter 28 grams

Instructions

Preheat oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Prepare a muffin pan with paper liners or by greasing it well.
Mix together streusel topping using a pastry cutter, a fork, or your fingers until the butter is broken into dime size pieces and everything is combined. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
In a separate small bowl, add eggs, melted butter, vanilla and milk, and whisk until well combined.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and carefully mix just until no dry streaks remain. Be careful not to over mix.
Fold in the blueberries.
Scoop the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, about 2/3 of the way full.
Divide the streusel evenly among the tops of the muffins.
Bake the muffins for 22-25 minutes.
Transfer the muffins to a wire cooling rack to cool slightly. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

If you are using freshly milled grains for this recipe, I recommend weighing the flour instead of using volume measurements. Grain mills vary greatly - some create very fine and fluffy flour, while others are a little more coarse. This makes volume measurements unpredictable. Using a kitchen scale and calculating the grams is much more reliable, ensuring you end up with a delicious end product.
Be sure not over mix the batter while making muffins to achieve the best results and avoid a dense end result.
Fold the blueberries in gently to keep them from bursting in the batter.
