Developing bakery goods with healthier alternative can benefit diabetic people to overcome the craving this craving. Objective: The work was conducted to develop muffins with diabetic friendly ingredients and to conduct its sensory, nutritive and microbial analysis.

The work was conducted in the laboratory of Institute o f Hotel Management, Pusa, New Delhi. The base ingredients used were Buckwheat, Flaxseed and Dates. On finalization of the product nutritive value, sensory evaluation on 5-point hedonic scale by trained panel (n=5) and semi trained panel (n=25) and 3 days shelf life estimation of the developed product was done. Results: The final product was made by using buckwheat and refined flour (50%), flaxseed and dates. The nutritive value of the product as per 100 grams was energy (505 Kcal), protein (9.4 gm), carbohydrate (36.84 gm), fat (32.96 gm) and total dietary fibre (6.58 gm). For overall acceptability of the product majority (80%) of trained panel extremely liked the product and majority (56%) of semi trained panel extremely liked and 32% neither liked or disliked the product.
