Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.
  2. Peel and dice the Granny Smith apples into 1/4-inch cubes, setting aside approximately 1.5 cups.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, beaten egg, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, combine the buckwheat flour, whole wheat flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the diced apples, raisins, and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Note

For a vegan version, substitute the egg with a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water) and ensure the sugar is vegan-friendly.

These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days. They also freeze well for up to 3 months.

If you prefer a lighter texture, you can substitute half of the whole wheat flour with all-purpose flour.

Feel free to swap walnuts for pecans or almonds, and raisins for dried cranberries for a different flavor profile.
