Packed with the malty flavour and nutrition of our Naked Barley Flakes these light muffins not only taste fantastic but will do you the power of good. They make a luxurious and healthy treat for breakfast or leisurely weekend brunches. |
The wholegrain Naked Barley Flakes in this recipe not only add to the flavour and texture of the muffins but enhance the nutritional value as well.
Naked Barley is a neglected ancient variety of barley whose husks fall naturally from the grain so it can be eaten as a whole grain without the processing other barleys require. Naked barley is especially high in protein and fibre, particuarly the soluble beta glucan fibre that's been shown to reduce blood cholesterol and so reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.
This tempting recipe was created by our illustrator Carol Kearns, who also publishes the superb blog The Art of Baking.

Method
The muffins are most delicious while still slightly warm. If they’re not going to be eaten on the day they are baked they freeze well - just take out of the freezer and allow to thoroughly thaw before eating. If you prefer you can make slightly smaller muffins by dividing the mixture between 12 paper cases and baking for about 20-25 minutes. |

Lentils are a great addition to any stew, combining here with the mushrooms to add a satisfying texture and peppery flavour, enriched by crème fraiche. Amy uses millet flour to give the dumplings a short, almost scone-like texture.

Blueberries are nutritional powerhouses, rich in antioxidant polyphenols, including flavonoids, which are associated with better heart, metabolic, gut and brain health. Not bad for a sweet treat. Danka Jandric uses our four grain muesli base to ramp up the plant diversity and fibre content and make these vegan muffins still more nutritious. All without compromising on flavour!
