You Need

6 big muffins
0:47
  • 150 g buckwheat flour
  • 75 g granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
  • 56 g olive oil (or any neutral-tasting oil)
  • 100 g super-ripe banana (1 medium-sized banana)
  • 1 large egg
  • 56 g buttermilk or plain yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 75 g fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
  • 2 tablespoons hulled buckwheat groats

    • How To

    1. Heat the oven to 375F with a rack in the middle of the oven. Line six cavities of a muffin tin with liners or grease the muffin tin very well.
    2. In a small bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until they look like a puree with only a few chunks.
    3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg.
    4. Add the oil, mashed banana, egg, buttermilk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and whisk everything thoroughly to combine.
    5. Add the blueberries and stir them through the batter with a spatula.
    6. Divide the batter into the lined muffin tin.
    7. Sprinkle each muffin with about 2 teaspoons of buckwheat groats and then about 2 teaspoons of coarse turbinado sugar.
    8. Bake at 375F for 28-32 minutes, until the muffins spring back when you gently press them in the center.
    9. Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then remove them from the pan and let them cool on a wire rack.
    10. You can eat these warm or store them for later. They're best the day they're made or the following day.
