Delightfully Decadent: Indulge in Guilt-Free Chocolatey Bliss with Every Bite!
Hello and welcome I’m anet reader from the biblical nutritionist. and today we’re going to use a grain that you may not be familiar with it’s amaranth amaranth has such tiny little grains that when you see it compared to the wheat you wonder how can so much good come out of such a small tiny seed well it can and amaranth is.
Gluten-free so for those of you who are gluten-free then we have a delicious chocolate amaranth muffin we’re going to make today thanks for joining me and letting me share with you God’s recipe for excellent Health now this recipe calls for amaranth grain and I got this recipe.
From Sue Becker and she always has delicious recipes when you Mill the amaranth grain once again you would be using your Mack Mill or maybe one of the other Mills that are out there Harvest Mill and the other Mills they’re all good I just like the mck milk cuz it’s a stone ground it’s made in Germany just really fantastic machine you’re going to.
Get a fine flour you always want to fine flour when you’re doing muffins so we’re going to be doing the amaranth grain today so what I’m going to do is go ahead and I’m using 1 and 1/2 cups of amaranth grain I’ve already freshly milled it just to right before the video to this I’m going to add our salt I’m going to add our salt which is a half a.
Teaspoon our baking powder which is A4 of a teaspoon our baking soda 1/ half of a teaspoon and our cinnamon which is 1 teaspoon and when I looked at the recipe I thought well it’ll have to have cinnamon to be good and sure enough she had cinnamon in it I’m going to make one variation off of her recipe just because I want to teach you that what you have.
On hand is more important than what a recipe says now the salt my salt is always more of a colorful salt because it’s red men’s re Real Salt and it just has all the minerals that are necessary for you to metabolize the salt when you have a doctor who puts you on a low salt diet the reason you have a high sodium content and reason you’re having heart.
Issues because you’re using processed foods when you go back to the real food that God created you’re not going to have those problems now to this I’m going to add one more powder ingredient and that is one of the important ingredients and that’s our cocoa powder so we’re going to have two tablespoons of cocoa powder you can’t have chocolate.
Without cocoa powder now cocoa powder that I buy is organic and it’s fair trade it’s important that it says fair trade because we do not want young children being used as slaves to harvest the chocolate so chocolate and coffee are the two products that are that are harvested around the world that the most slave trade is involved in as far as.
Food so check your coffee check your chocolate that you buy make sure it’s fair trade all right so we have those dry ingredients to this we’re going to go ahead and add our oil you can use an olive oil you could use a coconut oil too an avocado oil whatever is your preference let me stir that in I’m going to add in my two eggs I like to slightly.
Beat them before I add them now eggs give you that protein they also give you what’s known as leathan and leathan is what helps hold everything together it’s like a binding agent and it’s good for your brain good for your brain and the nerve endings of your brain now I’m going to go ahead and add honey now this is my variation.
Because I have great access to a beekeper so honey is very easy for me to come by and it’s less expensive than sukut sucanat is dried sugar cane you might also see molasses granules uh you can see suut with honey just different types of names have been added to the word sucanat you could buy organic you know sugar from the grocery store that’s.
A little bit more processed so I use honey now because I’m using honey I don’t do a full equivalent of Honey one cup to one cup suut because to me it’s more sweet and I don’t need the extra sweetness so I usually cut it back so for this one I’m using 3/4 of a cup of honey and like I said I get the wild honey that is um from The Beekeeper.
Nearby I’m also adding some vanilla extract uh you can use one half a teaspoon if you love the vanilla flavoring then you could go all the way up to one te teaspoon if you wanted to all right you can see this is a delicious dish to this we’re going to add one matched banana see that’s why we don’t really.
Need quite as much sweetener because we’re adding a banana and when we have vanilla plus cinnamon together that is a sweetener to your brain so you can easily cut back on the sweetness in these muffins and your family won’t even know so if you’re like Ah that’s a nut that’s a lot of you know sweetener in there it sure is cut back on it you’ve.
Got the cinnamon you got the vanilla and you’ve got a mashed banana so good stuff there now we add in our vegetables which is one cup of shredded zucchini now mine are a little bit big sometimes I shred them in the Bosch Shredder and they come out much more fine this time I just shredded them by.
Hand so they’re a little bit bigger but my husband’s used to it by now so he can he will enjoy it and then we’re going to add some chocolate chips this is optional you don’t have to cuz once again it’s going to increase the amount of sugar in the recipe you it’s totally optional but I do not want to have to eat all these myself so my husband likes.
His chocolate chips so that’s why I put it in and then I have some leftover hazelnuts from my recipe making my own homemade Nutella so make sure you’re subscribed to this channel so you can stay tuned with all of my recipes and my cooking demonstrations so I have some some hazelnuts here and just mixing that up and yes.
It’s a little bit more liquidy than you may have if you use a dry sucon nut but that’s okay it’ll just take a little bit longer to bake but it will still be delicious so that was a lot of ingredients it takes a lot longer to to prep all your ingredients than it does to Stir It Up now we’re going to put them in some mini muffin tin and then.
We’re going to bake it okay now we’re going to go ahead and use our mini muffin tins you could so use the regular size muffin tins and you can make the jumbo muffins they will all work now we’ve come to the day where everything’s getting a little bit more expensive I still have some leftover cake liners muffin cake liners so I’m going to use.
Them but as groceries get more expensive this is really kind of a luxury that’s not really necessary it’s just because we’ve come we’ve been in a day where everything was easy it was cheap and so why not do it well you could really just spray them up in tend and go without these um but I am going to go ahead and use them because I have quite a few on.
Hand we had them in a special a year ago and we forgot to promote the special so I have like a hundred of these little packets in my storage so now you can go ahead and use just a spoon or if you’ve got a cookie dough scoop that is always fun to do as well and I say the word fun a lot in the kitchen because I want you to enjoy cooking most of the time when I.
Don’t enjoy it is because I’m too busy I’m too busy and I just need something fast on the table because I have projects to do I have videos to make I have content to write and I have a family I’m a grandmother I’m a mother I’m a wife and life can get busy and so sometimes you just need to do quick but right now I want you to enjoy.
It I want you to plan these out these will freeze really well so you could just pull them out anytime you need a quick breakfast for the kids in the car you need a snack in between sports events you know whatever it is if you’re taking your kids young ones to the library for story time this is going to be a really good treat for them to have.
You could even add a little bit of protein powder to it if you want to increase the protein content yet another way to add protein wouldn’t be as expensive as protein powder would be to add a nut butter oh I wish I’d have done that that is such a good idea that just came to me but anyway so adding about two.
Tablespoons of a peanut butter or a sunflower seed butter almond butter any of the nut Butters you can make nut Butters yourself or you can buy them most of us buy it because it’s quick and easy but if you did that you’d have a delicious peanut butter chocolate flavor that would be delicious then you can feel even better.
About serving these two to your kids you know whenever they need a quick pickme up so make this a breakfast dish add some maybe you have a farmer that you know where you can get some turkey sausage maybe you could have some eggs with it and then you have a muffin on the side or if you increase the protein content like I just suggested it could.
Be a breakfast all its own but breakfast needs to have a good quality protein we need to get the da started really well and not add too much sugar into our diet and because these have sugar these also have a lot of fiber now I could increase the fiber by adding some freshly miled flax seed okay now I’m coming up with the bomb of a new.
Recipe while we’re doing this video well we’re going to put these in the oven they’re going to bake at 400° for 20 to 25 minutes but because they’re mini muffins we’re going to check them at probably 15 minutes to see how they’re doing and make sure they don’t get overdone.
Well our chocolate Amarth muffins are done and they are delicious we made about 36 of them total and yes they’re very good my husband approved he said yes these are a keeper make these more often now I use the amaranth grain it’s a very small tiny grain like a millet but you can use any grain you want these are glutenfree dairy free so if that.
Works for your family then enjoy but if you like to use wheat and you like to have the other grains then use those as well you cannot to make them with just oat flour you need something else to kind of help pull it all together but these are going to be delicious and I can’t wait for you to try them if you have a recipe you’d like for me to make.
