Is buckwheat paleo friendly?

While some people don't consider buckwheat to be paleo, I do since it's gluten free and grain free. It's a seed that is collected from a flowering plant, closely related to rhubarb. Some people with severe digestive issues cannot tolerate buckwheat, whereas some have no problems with it. So, listen to your body and do what's best for you 🙂

What makes buckwheat flour different from regular flour?

Buckwheat has a nutty, earthy flavor, whereas all purpose flour is pretty neutral in taste. Furthermore, buckwheat flour is gluten free and grain free.

Can I use any type of yogurt in this recipe?

Yes, any yogurt should work for this recipe. The only thing I suggest is that you use a plain, unsweetened yogurt.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a muffin tin with butter or oil (I used palm shortening).
In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the buckwheat flour, tapioca starch, baking soda and salt. Mix in the yogurt and maple syrup, stirring until the batter has a uniform, slightly sticky consistency.
Use a large cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons in size) to scoop the dough into the greased muffin tin.
Place the rolls in your oven and bake at 350 degrees for 15-16 minutes.
After baking, take the rolls out the oven and let them cool a few minutes in the pan. Then transfer them to a wire cooling rack or serve warm.
Best stored in a sealed container in the fridge, up to one week. Warm leftover rolls in the microwave or toaster oven to soften.
