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.
