I love experimenting with gluten free recipes, but I do sometimes tend to lean towards my preferred flour combinations. White rice flour, tapioca flour and perhaps some sorghum flour are my most commonly used flours for their taste and accessibility. Recently, however, I have been trying to develop recipes with other flours. So today I thought I’d share my favourite buckwheat flour recipes that I have developed thus far.

Buckwheat flour recipes

These buckwheat flour recipes are all gluten free and low FODMAP. They are vegetarian or vegan, often with egg free options for intolerances or allergies. Where possible, I also try to develop recipes without xanthan gum or nuts.

If you’re into buckwheat flour recipes, see my buckwheat flour e-book. All of the recipes use 100% buckwheat flour – no starches or other whole grain flours.

Gluten free buckwheat bread

This gluten free buckwheat bread recipe is one of my favourite breads at the moment. It’s deeply earthy thanks to the volume of buckwheat flour, and it uses just a small amount of tapioca or cassava flour for elasticity. The bread is vegan (and thus egg free and dairy free) and xanthan gum free, too.

Gluten free croissants

Yes, the gluten free croissants (or pains au chocolat) again. These are one of my favourite recipes from my cookbook, Intolerance Friendly Kitchen. The dough can be used to make danishes, as well. While it contains xanthan gum, there’s a sourdough version of the recipe that is xanthan gum free.

Low FODMAP, gluten free corn fritters

These fritters can be made entirely with buckwheat flour or entirely with cassava flour. They use a low FODMAP quantity of canned corn and spring onion greens for flavour. I love freezing them to have on hand for snacks or light dinners.

Yeast free buckwheat bread

This yeast free buckwheat bread is a recipe from my cookbook, Intolerance Friendly Kitchen. It is vegan, xanthan gum free and nut free. The bread uses baking powder for leavening, which means it is suitable for people who can’t have yeast.

Sweet and sticky buckwheat noodles

OK, this isn’t a buckwheat flour recipe per se. It is, however, a completely delicious way to use 100% buckwheat noodles. Not all buckwheat noodles are 100% buckwheat (or even gluten free) so make sure you read the labels. There is a recipe for 100% buckwheat noodles that are vegan and xanthan gum free in my buckwheat recipe e-book.
