Banana Buckwheat Muffins
Yields 12
May is Celiac Awareness Month so we're sharing one of our recipes using gluten free flour that everyone can enjoy. The mild nutty flavour from the gluten free flours is a great combination with banana. These muffins are a popular choice for breakfast or snack. Buckwheat is one of the healthiest foods due to the presence of rutin, a flavonoid with antioxidant properties.

Tips
  1. This recipe can be made ahead of time and kept in the fridge for up to a week so it’s ready to go for those busy nights. Try changing up the flavour by adding different fruits and vegetables into the mix. Try goat cheese, or blue cheese too! One of my favourites is pear and crumbled blue cheese with walnuts!
