Vegan Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat Blueberry Muffins with Oat Crumble

These Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat blueberry muffins sport two of the best superfoods ever!

---

Muffins have been a passion of mine for decades, and especially homemade organic blueberry muffins made from scratch. In fact nothing is more nutritiously delicious than a rich serving of power-packed muffins with two top superfoods onboard.

The first, Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat (HTB), is an incredible seed. According to Dr. Bland of Big Bold Health it’s “the most immuneoactive, nutrient-dense plant yet discovered.” It rocks bioactive compounds, prebiotics, probiotics, vitamins, minerals, protein, fiber, and more.

And we all know how healthy blueberries are. They’re one of the most nutrient-dense fruits on earth. They rock anthocyanins, which boost health, longevity, and literally help offset PFAs. Read up on them here.

This recipe is organic, vegan, and gluten-free.

Here are some legit reasons to eat boatloads of blueberries:

• Boosts heart, gut, and brain-health.
• Supports eye health.
• Curbs heart attacks, strokes, and cardiovascular disease.
• Improves cholesterol and insulin sensitivity.
• Packs anthocyanins—major antioxidants.
• Offsets absorption of PFAs in the gut.

The good news is heat doesn’t crush all the nutrients in blueberries like in a lot of cooked foods, though you don’t want to mix blueberries with bananas. Studies show the combo can reduce nutrient-absorption by up to 84%. You can learn more about that here.

Here’s what you’ll need (full recipe below):

• Mixing bowls.
• Spatula.
• Colander.

Once you start adding toppings like oat crumbles and other tasty inventions to your recipes, you’ll never want to stop.

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups organic flour.
• 1/4 cup HTB powder.
• 1 cup plant milk.
• 1 1/2 cups blueberries. (fresh or prefrozen)
• 2 chia eggs.
• 2/3 cup date sugar.
• 8 tbsp vegan butter.
• 1 tsp vanilla extract.
• 1 tbsp baking powder.
• 3/4 tsp pink salt.

I also add walnuts, seeds, dates, raisins, and other dried fruits and nuts.

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 400 and set the center rack.
• Combine the flour, HTB, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice in a large bowl.
• In a separate bowl whisk the chia eggs, plant milk, sugar, Earth Balance, and vanilla.
• Combine them without overmixing—only until moistened, not smooth.
• Fold in the blueberries (thoroughly drain if previously frozen).
• Form into muffin cups or a lightly greased 12-cup muffin pan (I use cast iron).
• Sprinkle with a mix of date sugar and pumpkin pie spice.
• Bake 10 minutes beyond when an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
• Let cool a few minutes before removing from pan.
• Serve immediately plain or with preferred toppings.
• Can store at room temp for several days in paper and airtight container.
• After that refrigerate.

Oat Crumble Ingredients

• 1 cup organic flour.
• 1 1/4 cups date sugar.
• 1 cup oats.
• 1/2 cup walnuts.
• 1/2 cup vegan butter.
• 1/2 tsp pink salt.
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon.

Oat Crumble Instructions

• Mix all the ingredients except the butter in a bowl. 
• Cut the butter (organic Earth Balance) into the mix with a knife or pastry blender until it’s coarse and crumbly.
• Layer over the muffin tops and gently pat down.

It’s well worth noting that oats are a top source of beta-glucans—a powerhouse fiber that’s amazing for your gut. They even soak up toxic chemicals like PFAs and escort them from your body. Read up on them here.

And by the way, sprouted flours are way more nutritious than unsprouted. There are plenty on the market or you can make your own.🌱

You can intensify the favor and nutrients in blueberries or make blueberry icings and frostings with an organic blueberry powder.

HTB rocks with tons of nutritious gluten-free flours. I typically dilute it because it has a powerful taste.

It’s also worth noting that grinding your own sprouted grains with an electric grain mill is the best return on investment (ROI). More bang for your buck financially and for your health.
