I’ve been on a bit of a muffin kick lately as my kiddos quite enjoy them as their little handheld afternoon snack . . .

We are also quite fond of the heartiness, earthiness & versatility of buckwheat flour!

I wanted to make apple muffins that were not too sweet and that could be enjoyed as a healthy treat or filling breakfast…but that were still full of flavor! I think I succeeded.

These Gluten-Free Buckwheat Flour Apple Muffins are

• super hearty and filling

• packed with protein and fiber

• easily made to be dairy-free

• perfect for breakfast, a snack or a dessert

• packed with beautiful and fragrant warming spices reminiscent of autumn

• quick and easy to make

• DELICIOUS!

I hope you think so, too! Enjoy. xo.
