In honour of my new 100% buckwheat flour e-book (and the second buckwheat e-book) I wanted to round up the other buckwheat flour recipes on my site. Not only does this give me an opportunity to praise buckwheat, but also to list the e-book recipes and their specific dietaries so you can determine if they are right for you.

Buckwheat flour recipes (gluten free)

All the recipes in this list are 100% gluten free. As we have discussed, buckwheat is a gluten free flour, suitable for coeliacs. Despite the name, buckwheat is more closely related to rhubarb and is 100% gluten free. Buckwheat flour has a distinctive nutty taste and elastic qualities in cooking and baking. This sets it apart from other gluten free flours, which tend to have little to no elasticity.

Buckwheat bread (vegan)

This buckwheat bread is what initially drew me into buckwheat flour recipes. It’s soft and hearty with a lovely buckwheat flour. The bread uses a small amount of tapioca flour or cassava flour and psyllium husk powder for structure. It’s vegan, xanthan gum free and nut free.

100% buckwheat yeasted bread

This buckwheat bread is the first of the recipes in my buckwheat flour e-book. It uses 100% buckwheat flour – no starches or other wholegrain flours. The bread utilises yoghurt and psyllium husk for structure, longevity and a soft crumb. It is nut free, xanthan gum free and egg free. Although I haven’t tested it yet, there’s a good chance that a quality vegan yoghurt could also make this bread vegan.

The recipe is in my Buckwheat Flour e-book, which you can buy here.

Buckwheat pancakes

These buckwheat pancakes use 100% buckwheat flour – no starches or other wholegrains. They contain yoghurt (dairy free or regular) and eggs for binding and softness. I have not tested an egg free version, but I will.

In terms of the sweetener; I use white sugar but I daresay you could use a granular sort such as panela if you really wanted. I have not tested any sugar alternatives like allulose and I don’t intend to.

The recipe is in my Buckwheat Flour e-book, which you can buy here.

Buckwheat choc chip cookies (egg free)

These buckwheat choc chip cookies use 100% buckwheat flour – no starches or other whole grains. They are probably one of my favourite buckwheat flour recipes to date. They use both white sugar and caster sugar for optimal spread, crispiness and crinkles. There is no sugar alternative for these cookies.

The cookies are xanthan gum free and nut free. I found that a vegan butter substitute didn’t work seamlessly into the recipe, but stay tuned for a vegan version.

Buckwheat chocolate cake (vegan)

This buckwheat flour chocolate cake is one for the buckwheat lovers. Interestingly, out of all my buckwheat flour recipes, this cake has the most buckwheat like flavour. I love it, but I wouldn’t say that you could serve this to your non gluten free friends and they wouldn’t notice. If that’s the sort of gluten free chocolate cake recipe you are after, use my single flour chocolate cake recipe or my vegan chocolate cake recipe.

The cake is egg free, vegan and contains no psyllium husk, xanthan gum or binders.

The recipe is in my Buckwheat Flour e-book, which you can buy here.

Buckwheat dumpling wrappers (vegan)

These buckwheat dumpling wrappers use 100% buckwheat flour – no starches or other wholegrain flours. They are bound together with psyllium husk and boiling water as thus contain no xanthan gum or other gums. This buckwheat version is a slightly more advanced version than my gluten free buckwheat wrappers. 100% buckwheat dumpling dough requires more elbow grease, so I recommend using the recipe linked above if you are just starting out. My top tips for working with buckwheat dumpling dough:

The dough needs to be rolled THINLY. There’s no way around this as the dough has no starches to create chew. Thick dumpling wrappers will result in dumplings that are undercooked and chewy.
Buckwheat dumpling wrappers tend to split at the seams more easily. Ensure you have really thoroughly sealed the edges together with water. I like to go over it twice just to make sure.
Undercooked dumplings will be chewy and overcooked dumplings tend to split. There’s a sweet spot, so watch them carefully and adjust the heat/cooking time accordingly.

100% buckwheat noodles (vegan)

These buckwheat noodles use buckwheat flour and water – that’s it. They’re xanthan gum free, psyllium husk free, vegan, oil free – all the frees. I find them to hold together better if you allow them to dry out for 24 hours, but this is an optional step. Please note that you need a pasta machine with an angel hair/noodle attachment for this recipe.

The recipe is in my Buckwheat Flour e-book, which you can buy here.

Buckwheat puff pastry

Similarly to the buckwheat noodles, this buckwheat puff pastry uses naught but buckwheat flour, salt, water and butter. It is xanthan gum free, psyllium husk free and binder free in general. I have not tried vegan butter here and I don’t intend to at this stage. Vegan butter sticks are not great in Australia, but you can try if there’s a reliable brand where you live.
