Notes

The buckwheat measurement is correct- use 1/3 cup plus an additional 1/2 cup.
Honey, butter, pumpkin spread and powdered sugar are all good toppings for these yummy muffins. 
They freeze well and can be reheated for 30-45 seconds in the microwave.
Fresh or frozen blueberries can be used. If you are using frozen, put them in a strainer and let them thaw before using.
