Tips for Making Gluten-Free Cherry Muffins:

Due to the unique nature of buckwheat flour, I do not recommend replacing it with anything else.
The tapioca flour can be replaced with arrowroot starch or cassava flour, if need be.
The maple syrup can be replaced with honey or coconut sugar.
For sugar-free / no sugar added muffins, replace the maple syrup with a sugar-free sweetener such as this one.
This is a versatile recipe! You can replace or halve the cherries and instead add berries, chopped apples, pineapples or mango. You can throw in a handful of nuts, seeds or chocolate chips for even more flavor and texture.
In a pinch, the apple cider vinegar can be replaced with lemon juice.
These muffins store well lightly covered at room temperature for up to 48 hours or in air-tight containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
