I was just wondering if anyone has any recipes other than the muffins. Has anyone tried this with soups or shakes or anything else? I am trying to maintain my simple sugar and total carb intake to a minimum and it seems that the only way to get the muffins to taste good is by adding some sugar. I tried making the pumpkin muffins with a recipe I found online and they were not very tasty.
These muffins have a lot of bananas. I am on Spironolactone (Aldactone) and my Dr. told me not to eat bananas because of their high potassium content (Spiro is a potassium sparing diuretic besides being a testosterone lowering med).
Any suggestions for a substitute? Or making them lower carb? I try to stay under 40-50 carbs total a day.

I usually just use stevia as a sweetener in baking. Have you tried stevia? I love it... I use it in lots of things.
Here's a recipe that I just tried today, with some changes...

Quick Buckwheat Bread Recipe
This easy buckwheat bread recipe creates a cornbread-like cake that goes well with many dishes, including soups and chili. If you require a gluten-free or even grain-free diet, it's an especially welcome addition to any meal!
1 1/2 C buckwheat flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp cream of tartar OR 3/4 tsp unbuffered vitamin C crystals
1/2 tsp salt
3 Tbsp maple or date sugar (you can use more or less)
1 C water (or goat's milk or rice milk, if tolerated)
1/4 C maple syrup or agave nectar
3 Tbsp sunflower, grapeseed, or other tolerated vegetable oil
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Oil and sprinkle flour on a 9" pie pan or an 8" X 8" square pan. Whisk dry ingredients in a separate bowl from the liquid ingredients. After mixing each separately, combine, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Pour batter into prepared pan, and bake for 20-25 minutes, until a knife or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool, slice, and enjoy!
I used buckwheat farinetta in place of regular buckwheat flour. I did not use the maple or date sugar; I just used stevia instead. And I used just 1 tablespoon of honey instead of the 1/4 cup of maple syrup or agave nectar (and I added a bit of extra water). I liked how it turned out... I thought it tasted decent. I might try it without any honey at all next time (it might change the texture too much though).
I made the muffin recipe today but used agave syrup (4 tbsp) and 1/2 cup of finely chopped walnuts instead of the flax. I really liked it, but I have always liked the taste of buckwheat.
does anyone know whether buckwheat farinetta must be cooked before consuming? i'm just curious as to whether it could be added to a smoothie or some other un-cooked item and still work the same as if it had been consumed via muffins/bread, etc.... anyone?

I wouldn't. Raw grains are really hard to digest. It actually says on the bag, "Not intended to be consumed raw."
I have been eating 2 of these muffins a day now, and I am happy to say I finally got my period naturally!! It had been over 6 months since I got a period (provera induced) and I cant even remember when I got a natural period on my own.
I am also doing TCM (traditional chinese medicine) and herbs for PCOS with my acupuncturist, but I have been doing that for almost a year with no results. So Im not just doing DCI, but I really feel that the muffins helped. Other threads about DCI also seem promising!
Ill keep you updated, my next prayer is for a baby
They are yummy, but Im getting tired of making them each week, to be honest. Plus, Im going away next week so I ordered the chiral balance caps. I cant bring them on vacation!
I didnt get my period last month...but I did skip days of eating muffins. I also noticed that when im eating the muffins, my temp is higher in the am....
so, im trying chrial balance next, and seeing if its easier.
Where can I buy buckwheat farinetta? I went to my local "natural market", and the salesperson told me it was the same thing as buckwheat flour. I used the flour to make these muffins, but they just didn't seem right, and the nutritionals didn't match up with what you have here. So, I looked it up and it is NOT the same as buckwheat flour. I am excited to make the real muffins when I get the farinetta!
