This recipe is from Sue Gregg. I'm learning a little about soaking grains and beans to bring out their nutritionally quality and to cut the phytates. You may cut the recipe in half if you don't have a large enough blender (like a Vitamix). See add-ins in the directions. I used olive oil for the coconut and kefir and it worked fine. Ingredients:
2 cups buttermilk or 2 cups homemade kefir |
1 cup honey |
1 cup coconut oil |
3 cups wheat berries (soft white, spelt, kamut, hard red, etc.) |
2 teaspoons salt |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
2 eggs |
Directions:
1. Put first 4 ingredients into blender in order and blend for 3 minutes on high (1 1/2 minutes in a Vitamix).
2. Cover and let stand on counter for at least 7 hours, overnight, or 12 hours.
3. After soaking, add salt, soda, powder and eggs. Blend until mixed. Stir in any additions.
4. Put into prepared muffin pans and bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
5. Mini muffins: Bake at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Loaves: bake at 350 degrees for 55 minutes or until tests done. (makes 2 loaves).
