BUCKWHEAT AND AMARANTH MUFFINS
The muffins available in most coffee shops and cafes are like oversize, unfrosted cupcakes: too sweet and too big. But muffins don't have to be cloying - a bit of natural sweetener is all that's required to make them taste like a treat. And they don't have to be calorie-laden confections. This week, you'll find it's possible to make muffins with a number of nutritious ingredients, particularly whole grains. Muffins made with buckwheat or cornmeal offer great taste and nourishment - without the feeling that you're chewing on rocks. Even if you don't think of yourself as a baker, take a stab at this week's recipes. They're easy and come together quickly. Of all the muffins I make, these have the most distinctive flavor.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees with the rack moved to the upper third of the oven. Oil or butter muffin tins. Sift together the whole-wheat and buckwheat flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir in the amaranth flour.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, honey, buttermilk, canola oil and vanilla extract. Using a whisk or a spatula, stir in the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined, but do not beat -- a few lumps are fine, but make sure there is no flour at the bottom of the bowl. Fold in the blackberries.
- Spoon into muffin cups, filling them to just below the top (about 4/5 full). Place in the oven, and bake 25 minutes until lightly browned and well risen.

CORNMEAL AND BUCKWHEAT BLUEBERRY MUFFINS
They are the antithesis of the cakey blueberry muffins you find in coffee shops. The berry quotient is generous here. If you find the buckwheat flavor too strong, swap flip the amounts of whole- wheat flour with the amount of and buckwheat flours (that is, use 125 grams whole- wheat and 65 grams buckwheat).

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the muffins will taste. This is especially true for the buckwheat and amaranth flour, which can become rancid if they are not fresh.
- Grind the buckwheat and amaranth flour yourself: If you can, grind the buckwheat and amaranth flour yourself just before using it. This will give the muffins a more pronounced flavor and texture.
- Let the batter rest for a few minutes before baking: This will allow the flours to absorb the liquid and the muffins will rise more evenly.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
Conclusion:
Buckwheat and amaranth muffins are a delicious and healthy breakfast or snack option. They are gluten-free, high in fiber, and packed with nutrients. The muffins are also easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Try adding different fruits, nuts, or seeds to the batter for a variety of flavors and textures.
