Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin with butter or use muffin liners. (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, cumin, baking soda, garlic powder, and salt. (2 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. (5 minutes)

04

Step
2 mins

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, reserved chickpea liquid, lemon zest, and egg until smooth. (2 minutes)

05

Step
3 mins

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just moistened. Be careful not to overmix. (3 minutes)

06

Step
2 mins

Gently fold in the drained chickpeas and halved grapes until evenly distributed throughout the batter. (2 minutes)

07

Step
3 mins

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. (3 minutes)

08

Step
18 mins

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (18 minutes)

09

Step
10 mins

Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)

For a richer flavor, try browning the butter before adding it to the dry ingredients.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick.
These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Experiment with different types of grapes, such as Concord or Thompson seedless.
For a vegan option, substitute the milk with almond or soy milk and use an egg replacement.

    I love the hint of cumin in these muffins. It adds a warm and earthy flavor that complements the sweetness of the grapes.
