Apple + Date Buckwheat Muffins
Snacks can be the bane of our existence as mothers, no? The little munchkins are always looking to eat, but never at meal time.
That’s been a struggle for us lately but I’ve found by making water drinking a must when the kiddo says he’s hungry, and by focusing on more nutrient-dense meals, the little man is more satiated and mama is much happier!
This is a fantastic recipe to whip up that won’t let you feel bad about them snacking between meals, and, more importantly, it will fill them up full of good nutrients!
We made these on a whim to try something new and I’m so thrilled with how they turned out on the first try!
These muffins are dairy-free, egg-free, sugar-free, and even gluten-free but super tasty!
If you’re used to heavily sweetened recipes, feel free to add more dates or use a more ripe banana. The more ripe, the sweeter!

Table of Contents
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour (3/4 cup almonds)
- 1 cup millet flour
- 2/3 cup buckwheat flour
- 2 TBSP arrowroot powder
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda, aluminum-free
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp Real sea salt
- 1 1/2 cup banana, mashed
- 1/3 cup coconut oil or avocado oil
- 1 tsp Bragg’s apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
- 1/4 cup coconut milk canned
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 6 dates chopped small
- 1 red apple chopped small
Instructions
- Add buckwheat, almonds, and millet to a high-speed blender until they turn into a coarse flour and add to a large bowl. (if you already have these in flour form, omit this step)
- Add baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, arrowroot, salt into bowl with the flour. Stir to combine.
- In a separate bowl, combine wet ingredients, stirring well. Combine into dry ingredient bowl until just combined.
- Add chopped apples and dates.
- Divide batter amongst 10-12 lined muffin cups. Or slather coconut oil through muffin tin and then add batter directly.
- Bake at 190 C (375 F) for about 25 minutes or until the tops spring back when lightly touched.
I had to ration myself and my kid to just one muffin a day or they would have been gone the same day we made them. It might even be weird to say but I think the flavour builds as time goes on with those dates!
I cannot wait to hear what you think of them so drop me a comment when you’ve made them and share any adaptations you may do for your family!
