Storage and Meal Prep Tips

Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.

These muffins freeze well and can be reheated as needed for quick breakfasts or snacks.

Preparing a batch in advance can help make nourishing choices more accessible on busy or low energy days.

Buckwheat flour provides fibre and plant based nutrients that support digestion and sustained energy. Almond flour contributes healthy fats and protein, helping create a more balanced and satisfying snack.

Blueberries are rich in antioxidants, while cinnamon and ginger add warming spices often associated with anti inflammatory eating patterns. Lightly sweetened with maple syrup, these muffins avoid refined sugars while still offering natural sweetness.

Together, these ingredients create a nourishing option that supports individuals living with lupus and those looking to maintain a balanced, whole food approach to eating.
