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.

PS: I’ve only just found your website, but it looks amazing. So many delicious looking recipes, without relying heavily on almond flour. Thanks!
