Soft, moist and comforting – these sugar-free, wholegrain muffins are wonderfully delicious with a healthful boost from kale and yogurt. They are perfect for breakfast or as a snack.
Kamut, or Khorasan wheat, is an ancient wheat variety, naturally high in protein, minerals and known for its rich nutty flavor. Feel free to substitute it with standard wholewheat or spelt flour.
Kamut Kale Muffins

- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the kale leaves and cook for 3 minutes. Remove and quickly rinse under cold water. Drain and finely chop the kale.
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a muffin pan with paper or silicon liners or simply butter the pan. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the ground kamut, refined spelt flour and baking powder. Stir the eggs, yogurt, pinch of salt, and oil in another bowl until well combined.
- Add the flour mixture and chopped kale to the egg mixture. Stir until well combined. Divide the batter into 10-12 muffin liners. Sprinkle the top with a little black sesame seeds.
- Bake in the middle of hot oven for about 25 minutes until nicely golden. Leave the muffins in the pan to cool for a couple of minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool.

These look wonderful, I love the color of muffins. Great way to use kale. This recipe is healthy and yummy.
i'm so tempted to try this.... unfortunately i cannot find kale here.... so can you spare me some ^^
These savory muffins looks terrific..wish i can grab some now
I have kale as a side, salad and smoothie but never thought of having it in muffins. It looks interesting enough to try.
Omg.... This looks so good...
These look like they're just oozing packs of flavor! I might make these for Thursday :)
Sheer beauty, pure bliss!
Kisses from Greece,dear Angie!
Wonderful muffins! A healthy snack.
Cheers,

Angie, your muffin look special and lovely!
These are extraordinary and they look gorgeous with the green specks!
Magnificent muffins…perfectly golden with green (amazingly vibrant this green!) "glitter". Question Angie…for your readers based here in Europe…Is it possible to find KALE in the French or Swiss markets…at all?!..I am having one heck of a time trying to locate it that does not involve special trips to Paris…Could chou frisée..or even spinach…be acceptable substitutes? I have heard a rumor that it is starting to be cultivated (kale) outside of Lyon…I cannot wait to be able to find this locally!…Thanks for any advice for a suitable substitute in the meantime..and thank you for this sublime recipe!
Oops..forgot to ask if nigella seeds (black) could be subbed in for the black sesame seeds…I have golden sesame…but the black is truly lovely here.
I would never have thought kale could look so good.
@Donna Thank you so much, Donna. Can't believe that kale ain't available there...I meant, this is one very common winter veggie.
If you can't find the fresh one, frozen one (thawed before using) or Swiss chard will work just great.
Sesame seeds are optional, just for the garnish, nigella seeds sound like a good alternative to me, otherwise, just use poppy seeds or golden sesame.
I love Kamut on its own but combing this with kale and yogurt into a muffin sounds phenomenal. Plus these muffins are beautiful. I've never viewed the source you got this from but will check it out. Great recipe. I will definitely make these healthy muffins.
Oops I meant to write "combining."
These would be great for breakfast and I love the fact that they don't have any sugar.

these looks so wonderful.. Love it anytime
Angie , first of all , those are gorgeous photos :D The combination of kale , kamut and spelt flour in these muffins sounds fantastic ! Love it !
I would never think of adding kale to muffin, but why not? These are on my to make list.
Hard to imagine anything healthier than these!
These savoury kale muffins look delectable & Amazing even, dear Angie: Waw!!!!! Yum too. 😊
The muffins look absolutely gorgeous, perfect with some tea or coffee..
Gorgeous muffins Angie! Vibrant, healthy and delicious!
So moist are these special muffins! Can't be better, right?
Preciosos muffins salados me encantan perfectos con un rico tè,abrazos.
wowo so beautiful and just busting with delicious flavours.
They look so good! Beautiful colour in the inside too... If only you deliver, I want these muffins for breakfast :)
How brilliant! I've never tried baking kale into a muffin but now I'm excited to try it!
I'm actually impressed. You made me want to try something made with Kale and I'm usually not a fan. Awesome recipe Angie. And beautiful pictures :)
I love Kale and this recipe would be a wonderful addition to our Thanksgiving table or maybe for Christmas--I love the dark green color! XOXO
They look so pretty!
wow, you even made a muffin with kale...
i just want to married your brain Angie, waht a clever idea!
btw, did u use the stalk too for this recipe???
i want to replace the kale with gai lan...
Love the healthy version of a side muffin. They look gorgeous and an absolutely original.
The kale is great, the kamut on it's own is nice, never used it like this. Delicious.
@dentistvschefyes, but only the tender one. I threw those rough ones away. Gai lan sounds a great idea.
Soft, moist, comforting and healthy. It sounds and look perfect.
Very cool and healthy muffins. So beautiful with the green color of the kale. Always amazed by these types of recipes you post.
I have a giant bag of kale in my fridge right now ... and I've been looking for different ways to put it to use! These muffins sound great - and I love the color from the kale!
I love how the kale adds both healthiness and flavour to this delicious recipe - and who doesn't love spelt flour :D
Cheers

This is the way to eat your kale! I'm a kale lover, but the family isn't hot on it. I'll bet if it's in muffin form they'll give it a second chance.
fun way to eat kale love your healthy breads
Kale in Muffins! That's a surprise.. something I never even thought of! This is a brilliant idea, Angie!
What a great idea for a healthy muffin. I've been enjoying kale this year so thanks for this recipe.
I can never have too many muffin recipes. I'm thinking this would be great with a bowl of soup!!
What a beautiful green color and so healthy. My appreciation if kale is growing and would love to try it in a baked muffin like these. I might add some Wisconsin cheese :)
I can't get enough kale, but I haven't thought to put it in muffins--perfect! :)
Love the colour in them; savoury muffins are preferred to sweet-ones in my household.
Hi Angie,
Beautiful and delicious looking muffins! I have not tried Kale before, a veggie that is not easily available here. I would really love to get my hands on some Kale!
Angie, you are definitely over the top with this muffins! I always think of muffins as sweet, but savory muffins have really caught my interest. Not only are they beautiful, I bet they taste awesome! Great recipe!
Fantastic muffins! I've never made them savory. Have to try! Thanks, Angie :)) ela
So healthy muffins Angie! Great snack!
Dear Angie, Your kale muffins look beautiful, simply beautiful. Blessings dear. Catherine xo
Hi Angie, this is a gorgeous muffin! Kale is so incredibly hard to find and expensive locally and I wish I had it in abundance so that I could make these beautiful muffins. I typically blend the kale into smoothies and drink it all up!
these are just bursting with color and nutritional benefits! fantastic creation, angie. :)
Interesting! I just had kale yesterday. This is a great way to use it. This is such a good healthy recipe and certainly suitable for a diet!
What a great way to use Kale. Love it.
Those green specks scattered throughout the muffins make me so happy!
Your images are so gorgeous, I love the vibrant green colors! These muffins would be lovely severed at any holiday dinner:-) Hugs, Terra
Well, I just don't know, Angie. Not sure I can make these and like them. Wish you lived next door so I could taste. And wow...the color is so vivid!
Kale in a muffin!? That is pretty ballsy....I bet it paid off though! These look totally unique and probably have such great flavour.
At work yesterday, we worked on developing a new flavour of 'powerball' and we wanted a green one. So we did kale and hemp and chia and chlorophyll allllll mixed up with shredded coconut and dates. It actually worked really well! Very green and refreshing and not too sweet.
These muffins are gorgeous. I love that you can see the kale in each of them. :)
Beautiful muffins, Angie! What a creative and delicious recipe! Happy Thanksgiving!
Gorgeous, Angie. And I bet they taste great! thanks for the warm wishes!
Beatiful images!moist and delicious muffins!
Beautiful colour. And as starters, they'd be great, too!
Wow Angie, these savory muffins look fantastic...I love the greenish in it...yum!
Have a Happy Thanksgiving :D
These are so pretty Angie! Only you can make kale look so appetizing! I want to have these for Christmas! They're so festive.
I've still yet to try kale, but I love my greens so these muffins loo amazingly tasty to me!! :) They'd make a great lunchbox snack!
What a great savory muffin! The kale makes them do colorful and pretty, too.
Really pretty looking kale and the muffins sounds interesting! I have not tried baking with leafy vegetables before!
I've never cooked with kamut! Love the look of that deep green kale.

We are huge kale fans in my house. I love this recipe, it looks delicious and so healthy!
This is such an original and brilliant idea. Love the healthy muffins. Look and sound fabulous!
Wow! Did I read that right? Kale muffins? Kale? I've never heard of that before. Next time I have some extra kale on hand, I'll be sure to try out this recipe!

Love your kale muffins but I need to pick up some basic baking skills before taking an advanced step to savory muffins.
My kale might be ready for this by next week. :)
I just made them and they are perfect and delicious! I am not a very big fan of sweet muffins, so this kale muffins are a healthy and addicted snack :). First a thought kale in a muffin? That's weird... But then I made them and I like the muffins a lot. Thanks for sharing the recipe Angie!
That's a great muffin with all healthy stuff packed!! I love savory muffins for breakfast. Will give this a try.
