Buckwheat & Quinoa Banana Muffins

The first recipe I ever created was for Banana Maple Oat Muffins. They were the start of my marvelous muffin phase, when I was getting excited about baking and blogging, and for months I whipped up a batch on a weekly basis. So it’s a little sad that I can no longer indulge in the gluten free rolled oats that formed their muffin-y hearts. However, as with my oatmeal cakes, I’ve come up with a spin on those muffins that uses quinoa flakes instead of oats and produces just as a delicious a result. These Buckwheat & Quinoa Banana Muffins aren’t just gluten free. They’re totally grain free, dairy free, and perfect to munch on any time of day.

Cinnamon Raisin Quinoa Muffins

When I first made the transition to eating gluten free, I learned to rely on gluten free oats as a base for many baked goods. Now that I’m limiting grains, I’ve found quinoa flakes to be an excellent substitute. With that in mind, I whipped up this batch of Cinnamon Raisin Quinoa Muffins over the weekend, perfect for breakfast or a snack just like my oat based banana, peanut butter, or pumpkin muffins. They take just ten minutes to whip up and fifteen to bake, and they’re grain free and easily made dairy free and even vegan!
