Yacon-Glaze Einkorn Wolfberry Muffins

Ingredients:

Muffins:
1 cup Organic Dried Wolfberries
4 cups Gary’s True Grit™ Einkorn Flour
2½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
3 large eggs
½ cup dark brown or coconut sugar
1½ cups buttermilk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil
2 tablespoons Young Living Yacon

Glaze:
¾ cup powdered organic evaporated cane juice crystals
2 tablespoons Young Living Yacon
2 tablespoons water

Directions:

Muffins: Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with 12 paper liners. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat eggs in a stand mixer or with a whisk until smooth. Add the sugar and beat on medium-low for 1 minute, then on high for 4 minutes until the mixture forms thick ribbons. In a medium bowl, stir together the buttermilk, butter, oil, and Yacon. Fold the flour mixture into the eggs, using a circular motion to completely incorporate it into the batter. Gently stir the buttermilk mixture into the batter, being sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl as you go. Fold in the Organic Dried Wolfberries. Spoon the batter evenly into the cups, filling to the rim.

Place the muffins in the oven and lower the temperature to 375°F. Bake for 25 minutes, rotating the muffin pan halfway through the cooking time, and take out when a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the middle of a muffin. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes; then lift the muffins out and let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes more before glazing.

Glaze: In a small bowl, mix together the powdered cane juice crystals and Yacon; then stir in water until the mixture is creamy. Using the back of a spoon, spread a teaspoon of glaze on each muffin.
