BUCKWHEAT CARROT MUFFINS

Happy Easter Everyone!

I can not get enough of these deliciously moist muffins.  These gluten free muffins are with buckwheat and almond flour with just a touch of maple syrup.  

Adding vegetables into baked goods is an easy and tasty sway of incorporating more nutrients into your daily regime. 

Carrots are one of the most nutritious root vegetables.  It is high in beta carotene which is a major antioxidant to help support your immune system, skin eyes and reduce inflammation in the body 

Buckwheat is actually not a wheat but a grass, so it does not contain any gluten!  It is warming in nature and helps to increase circulation in the body. Buckwheat flour has a strong flavour to it, so adding it in recipes with spices, chocolate, vegetable and fruits help to balance out the flavour.
