Banana muffins are my go-to when I have ripe bananas sitting on the counter. These are soft, a little sweet, and naturally gluten-free, thanks to the buckwheat flour. It gives them a lovely nutty flavor that pairs so well with the banana. I also use applesauce instead of extra sugar, so they feel light but still moist. A few pecans on top make them extra special! They are easy to make, full of good ingredients, and perfect for breakfast or a snack when you want something homemade and healthy.
