Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Buckwheat flour
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 1 cups Milk
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Dried cranberries
• 0.5 cups Chopped dried apricots
• 0.25 cups Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the tin lightly.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent dense muffins.

Step 5

Fold in the dried cranberries, chopped dried apricots, and chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
