If you're looking for a healthy and delicious vegan breakfast or snack option, then you'll love these buckwheat muffins. Made with nutrient-dense buckwheat flour, these muffins are not only gluten-free, but they're also packed with fiber, protein, and essential minerals. They're also vegan-friendly, meaning they're free from any animal products or by-products.
Gluten free banana muffins are a great way to use overripe bananas too. These muffins are great because they get sweetness majorly from banana and apple sauce. Both these ingredients are great for soft moist muffin recipe.Like this the other millet recipes include ragi cookies, lauki thepla, buckwheat cutlets, falhari pizza, Juar(sorghum) flatbread ,sama pudding and falhari dahi papdi.

I love upvas recipes. Most food recipes for fasting are a delicious mix of gluten free vegetarian and vegan world. It is a whole new cuisine altogether. I have been fasting for many years now. It gives a break to both my tummy and soul from all the mish mash we keep feed the body and mind. Instead of feeling down and out, you end up feeling rejuvenated. Basically, you have to balance the diet on a fasting day. Eating fruits, consuming milk and staying off extra spicy food will help restore the balance in the body. That doesn't mean you cannot have good food! Of course you can.Easy vrat recipes help you restore and cleanse. Read the recipe below to make a muffin you will make whether you fast or not.
