Ingredients:
- 3 c. white whole wheat flour (ideally, freshly ground)
- 2 tbsp. sucanat
- 1 3/4 c. raw milk
- 3 tsp. yeast
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 2 tsp. sea salt
Directions:
The night before, mix together the flour, sucanat, and the milk.
Stir it up; it will be a very wet dough, almost more like a very thick batter.
In the morning, add the remaining ingredients.
Stir together well, and set aside for about two hours to rise.
Punch the dough down and turn it out onto a well-floured surface. Knead very briefly, then separate into 8 – 12 small balls.
Shape each ball into a muffin, then cover and allow them to rest for about 20 minutes. Make sure the surface is still well-floured, or they’ll stick!
Preheat your oven to 350, and a frying pan on medium-high heat. When the muffins have rested, carefully lift them and slip them into the pan, not crowding them.
Allow these to cook for 3 – 5 minutes, until golden brown. Flip them over and cook the other side.
They should puff up while you are doing this. Transfer the browned muffins to a baking sheet. When they are all done, bake for 20 – 25 minutes, until they are done all the way through.
Allow the muffins to cool, then transfer to a bag to store on the counter or in the freezer. They are excellent toasted and served with butter, honey, jam, apple butter, etc.!

TESTING!
Thanks so much for the recipe. I’ll definitely be trying these soaked muffins on Saturday.
Do you rest these overnight on the counter or in the fridge?
Thanks
On the counter.
These look really good! I think I’ll mix some up tonight to bake in the morning. Do you brown them in a dry skillet, or do you use butter or some kind of oil? And will pasteurized milk work? Thank you! I’m excited to try them out!
I have not tried with pasteurized milk…I think using diluted yogurt (1/2 yogurt, 1/2 water), something that is cultured would be safer than regular pasteurized milk.
Hi! Thank you for this recipe. I am curious though about the soaking..I didn’t think that it would break down the anti-nutrients without an acidic medium?
You can add buckwheat flour to the wheat flour and it will help a lot.
..Oh! and where do you buy your yeast?
Thank you!!
