Putting together poppy seeds & Nutiva hemp seeds was the best idea ever and no, I’m not a drug dealer. I had no clue these flavors would work so well together…These muffins turned out to be so good!
I am always on the hunt for the best available products to try (nutritionally speaking of course) so I was super excited to try Einkorn, an ancient grain that is the most ancient form of wheat that has not been hybridized or denatured in any way. It’s higher in vitamins, minerals, fiber and protein than the typical whole wheat flour products you see on store shelves. “Einkorn is a rare gift, untouched by modern influence.”
Jovial Foods sent me several different products to try and I’ve already broke into all them. I substituted wheat berries for this quinoa recipe, added almond butter to their cookies and tried their pasta. Trying this flour on the other hand, was the true test of this ancient grain. Could it make a moist and fluffy muffin? Well…. yes… it did and all 6 of the muffins I made last night have all been deliciously consumed!
- ¼ cup shelled hemp seeds and 1 and ¼ cup water or ⅓ cup hemp milk
- 1 large orange seeded and diced
- ½ tsp orange zest
- ⅛ cup coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ¼ cup coconut palm sugar
- 1 large egg or 1 tbsp flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp poppy seeds
- ¾ cup flour – I used Jovial Einkorn Ancient Grain Flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- ¼ cup apple juice sweetened cranberries
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, zest, baking powder, and salt and set aside.
- Make hemp milk by combining hemp seeds and water into a blender.
- Strain milk using a strainer or nut milk bag – and put aside
- Blend orange, oil, egg or flax seed, sugar and vanilla in a blender
- Add ⅓ cup hemp milk and continue blending a few more seconds to combine
- Combine dry ingredients and wet ingredients slowly
- Stir in cranberries and poppy seeds
- Pour batter into a lined or well greased muffin tin
- Bake for approximately 20 mins or until a toothpick comes out clean
- Let cool for 5 mins and enjoy!

I’ve subscribed. I don’t live in California but I still shared on facebook about prop 37 in hopes that it would spread the word. I just read that it’s not looking very promising. 🙁
Hello Food Babe. At first I thought you were just another naturally beautiful girl who was jumping on the Health Food Bandwagon for gain. But after following you for a while…. boy was I wrong. You live, eat and breath this lifestyle and you are 100% a person of substance. Thanks for all you do!
I sure would like those muffins! 🙂 I did educate some Ron Paul folks on GMO foods and the importance of labeling. Ron Paul’s people did not want to involve the government in solving the problems but now they realize how criminal and dangerous Monsanto’s seeds are and how they are slowly taking over and corrupting our organic food. We don’t have a free market when Monsanto takes over the Government and allows untested food on the market. We don’t have a free market when Monsanto’s GMO seeds intermingle with regular seeds and Monsanto says any profit from those mixed seeds goes to Monsanto! Allergies, obesity, gut problems, diabetes and cancer has skyrocketed in the past 10 years which is along the same timeline when GMO crops were introduced.
I am so sad that California voted against Prop 37. I don’t think I have ever seen a greater fight against food tyranny than the fight against Prop 37. You, FoodBabe, were so brave at the Democratic Convention when you focused on the issue that no one else was addressing.
Regular people don’t realize the importance of getting this food labled and/or off the market. I cannot think of anything that is more important than healthy food. We just could not fight against 47 million dollars! It ain’t over folks. We will keep educating!
I subscribe and love your blog. I think prop 37 didn’t pass. I am stunned, shocked and sad.
Shared on Facebook. I would love to try this flour. Thank you for sharing about it.
I got out the word on FB but unfortunately we were unsuccessful. We just have to keep voting with our dollars!!! This flour sounds great!
I subscribe and would love to win! My four year old is asking for these muffins!
Im confused. It says this in their description on amazon… “Jovial einkorn flour is high-extraction flour at 80%, which means most of the germ and bran have been removed for lighter flour that stays fresh for longer.” I thought the “whole” purpose is to keep the bran and germ intact for it to be a true whole grain. Am I missing something?
That’s a great question Ashley – I need to find out about that.
Made these muffins yesterday and they were AMAZING! I couldn’t find the Einkorn so I used just plain old organic all purpose flour. There is one muffin left this morning out of seven made and I’ll be doubling this recipe for Thanksgiving dinner! Excellent recipe Food Babe, as always you rock!
AWE! So happy you liked them – I thought they were soooo good myself 🙂 Good idea to make them for Thanksgiving… I might have to do that too!
Subscribed. Thanks for the good info, and I’ll be spreading the word about Prop 37!
Where do you find cranberries sweetened with apple juice? Every store I’ve gone too, even health food stores still have them sweetened with cane sugar.
I’m just starting to research ways to eat healthy, and I have a question about Baking Powder. I’m interested in making the Orange Poppy Seed Cranberry Hemp Muffins but one of the ingredients is baking powder. I read somewhere that baking powder contains GMOs. Is this true for all baking powder, or is there a safe non-GMO baking powder available out there?
I would love to make these but need the best gluten free flour to substitute for the one your using. I’ve tried baking with buckwheat and almond flour.. so far, no good.. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Help!
These look really good and as we all like to know what is in our food, I would like to know what the nutrient are that are in all your recipes. You know, calories, fats, sugar, salt, carbohydrates, etc. Please??!! I am getting increasingly frustrated with all these healthy recipes being absent of these values. I have to keep tabs on what I am consuming. Thank you, Food Babe!
Hi Jan – sorry but we do not supply nutritional info right now. Most people do not need to worry about it if they are eating a very clean, mostly plant based diet. There are many websites and apps that can calculate it for you if you plug in the ingredients. Good luck!
Each show is different and it really depends on whos booking it and for the
bigger shows with celebrities and bands they need a lot of lead-time.
It is an industry norm that you offer a hotel room for
the comedian at the same time. These surgeries are a matter of personal
preference, peer pressure from fellow entertainers and the need to maintain an unrealistic image that is
associated with them.
In order to work 50 weeks a year, you’re going to have to work 30 weeks; in order to work 30 weeks, you’ll likely have to work 10.
No matter what your field, it helps to know what you’re good at, but it also helps to recognize what others are good at.
Whether these are taken live – while you are doing a real gig – or whether you have them done on a false stage,
will depend on you.
I made this today, delicious. I did grind up my own einkorn berries and omitted the vanilla as I didn’t have it on hand. Super moist and yummy!
Would love a gluten free substitute for this recipe! Really would like to make it & soon! 🙂
Thank you for all you have done to make strides for us & future generations in the food realm!
