Gluten-Free Buckwheat and Almond Flour Banana Nut Muffin Recipe

This buckwheat and almond flour banana nut muffin recipe is absolutely loaded with flavour and goodness! I’ve swapped traditional white baking flour for a mix of buckwheat and almond flour, giving these muffins more fibre, protein and makes them gluten-free!

The chia seeds also provide fibre, protein and lots of beautiful omega 3 fatty acids, which is important for healthy skin, hair, and nails, and also helps to promote good cardiovascular health. And when you add in the deliciously sweet ripe bananas, honey, and freshly crushed almonds, they taste amazing too. What more could you want from a muffin?

Have them hot or cold, halved and slathered in nut butter, or paired with a cup of tea! Enjoy everyone!
