Method

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place paper liners in a 12-cup muffin pan; set aside.


Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. 


Add millet and toast, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and just beginning to pop, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer millet to a plate to cool.


In a large bowl, whisk together egg, sour cream, milk, butter, pumpkin, granulated sugar and brown sugar; set aside. 


Whisk together flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and cooled millet in a medium bowl, then gently fold into egg mixture until just combined. 


Spoon batter into prepared muffin pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out clean, 22 to 25 minutes. 


Allow muffins to cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
