Skin Healthy Buckwheat Flaxseed Muffins with Walnuts and Cinnamon
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cup buckwheat flour
- 1/2 cup FRESH ground flaxseed
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup milk (you can use dairy or plant-based milk)
- 1/4 melted coconut oil
- 1/4 cup collagen powder
- 2 tsp sea salt
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Grease the muffin cups with coconut oil.
- Grind flaxseeds.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour, ground flaxseed, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and baking powder until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until fluffy. Add in the maple syrup, milk, oil, collagen powder, and Greek yogurt, and mix until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. (Be careful not to overmix).
- Gently fold in the chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each muffin cup about 3/4 full.
- Bake for a total of 25 min or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Bake at 400 °F for first 5 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 °F for the remainder of the time. (This helps them to get a higher rise).
- Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delicious Buckwheat Flaxseed Muffins warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
