Gluten-Free Buckwheat, Poppy Seed and Blueberry Muffins image

The buckwheat flour is high-fiber and makes a dark, richly-flavored muffin. Already a big fan of buckwheat flour in pancakes, I decided to try it as the main ingredient in a gluten-free muffin and love the results. It is a high-fiber flour and makes a dark, richly-flavored muffin.

Time 45m

Yield 12 muffins (1/3 cup muffin tins)

Number Of Ingredients 12

180 grams (1 1/4 cups, approximately) buckwheat flour
100 grams (3/4 cup, approximately) gluten-free all-purpose flour mix or whole grain gluten-free mix
10 grams (2 teaspoons) baking powder
5 grams (1 teaspoon) baking soda
3 1/2 grams (1/2 rounded teaspoon) salt
2 eggs
125 grams (1/3 cup) honey
360 grams (1 1/2 cups) buttermilk
75 grams (1/3 cup) canola or grape seed oil
5 grams (1 teaspoon) vanilla extract
170 grams (6 ounces/1 cup) blueberries
10 grams (1 tablespoon) poppy seeds (more to taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees with the rack adjusted to the middle. Oil or butter muffin tins. Sift together the flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a medium bowl. Add any grainy bits remaining in the sifter to the bowl.
  • In a separate bowl beat together the eggs, honey, buttermilk, oil and vanilla extract. Whisk in the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Do not beat for too long; a few lumps are fine but make sure there is no flour sitting at the bottom of the bowl. Fold in the blueberries and poppy seeds.
  • Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, fill muffin cups to the top. Place in the oven and bake 25 to 30 minutes, until lightly browned and well risen. Remove from the heat and if the muffins come out of the tins easily, remove from the tins and allow to cool on a rack. If they don't release easily, allow to cool and then remove from the tins.
