| 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. |
Crisp at the edges, tender in the middle, and full of nutty depth, fava bean farinata makes a beautiful centrepiece for a light meal. Paired with smoky, charred spring onions and a refreshing herb and cucumber salad, it's both fresh and comforting.
Try this seasonal British classic using our organic four-grain muesli base, wholemeal flour and poppy seeds for extra plant diversity. And feel free to switch the fruit for whatever's in seasonal abundance.
This satisfying subji - a dish of vegetables - features soft, spiced carrot koftas baked to perfection and served in a rich, earthy “nomato” sauce made with beetroot, squash and courgette. Made with fava bean flour and wholemeal wheat flour, the koftas are high in protein and fibre, with warming spices like cumin, turmeric, and sumac for depth and zing.
