Gluten-Free Banana Nut Buckwheat Muffins

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Gluten-Free Banana Nut Buckwheat Muffins.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While it warms up, take a moment to prepare your muffin tin—either grease it well or line it with cheerful paper liners to make those muffins pop.

3. Step 3

   In a mixing bowl, combine the hearty buckwheat flakes, rich brown sugar, softened butter, and a splash of vanilla extract.

4. Step 4

   Stir these ingredients together until they’re well blended, then set this delightful mixture aside for your streusel topping.

5. Step 5

   Next, grab another bowl and whisk together the gluten-free flour, rice flour, and baking powder.

6. Step 6

   This will create a light and fluffy base for your muffins.

7. Step 7

   Now, let’s move to the star of the show! In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the softened butter and 3/4 cup of brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy—this is where the magic begins.

8. Step 8

   Add the eggs one at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition.

9. Step 9

   Then, gently fold in the mashed bananas, mixing just until combined.

10. Step 10

    It’s okay to leave a few chunks for that lovely texture! Now, gradually incorporate the flour mixture into the banana blend, stirring until everything is fully combined.

11. Step 11

    To add a delightful crunch, gently fold in the chopped walnuts.

12. Step 12

    With your batter ready, it’s time to fill those muffin cups! Spoon about 1/4 cup of the batter into each prepared muffin cup, filling them about halfway.

13. Step 13

    Don’t forget to sprinkle the streusel topping you set aside earlier on each muffin for that irresistible finish.

14. Step 14

    Pop the muffin tin into your preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

15. Step 15

    You’ll know they’re done when the tops spring back lightly when pressed.

16. Step 16

    Once baked to perfection, let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes.

17. Step 17

    Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
