Buckwheat flour, oatmeal flakes, and a touch of maple syrup come together to make these deliciously chewy low sugar muffins. These would be great with a Drink Your…Veggie juice for breakfast, or for lunch or a light dinner alongside some Orange-Infused Carrot Soup. This is an especially good combo if you add the optional orange oil.

Notes
About Aquafaba
Aquafaba (meaning "bean water") is just the water that your chickpeas float in, in the can. If you buy dry chickpeas and cook them, you can also use the cooking water. You may need to reduce the water (boil it down) until it has a vicious quality, similar to egg whites. There's a whole site devoted to it, if you're interested in learning more.About Buckwheat Flour
If you have buckwheat groats and a good blender or food processor, you can grind them into flour in just a few seconds.About Orange Oil
This is not the same as orange-flavouring or orange extract, although that would do in a pinch. Orange oil is very intense. Read your label to see how much is recommended.Nutritional Information

These have been dubbed “Hippie Muffins.” I’m OK with that. Peace out.
