Notes

• All of my clients love these muffins, and after remaking them over the weekend - I can see why - they are very easy to make, fluffy, and delicious.

• I especially appreciate the balance of the flours - the light and dryness of the buckwheat flour paired with the heaviness of the almond flour. Even better if you throw some spelt or oat flour in there, then you get the benefits of a bunch of whole grains & nuts in one place.

• We usually do not combine fruits with other foods - especially bananas. But the cooking process + the spices of cinnamon, freshly ground cardamom, and freshly ground nutmeg make this combination more digestible so you don't have to worry about gas, bloating, brain fog, or inflammation.

• Well balanced and good for all doshas!
