    Buckwheat flour

    I love experimenting with gluten free baking, I tried Chocolate Coconut Macaroons, Quinoa Cookies and now buckwheat cookies! And I also managed to make the best gluten free chocolate chip cookies with almond flour.

    So how about buckwheat flour? If you never baked with buckwheat flour, it’s an excellent option if you want to take a break from regular flour or need to avoid gluten for health reasons. In fact, this is my preferred flour due to its texture, taste and flexibility in baking.

    Despite the name, buckwheat is not related to wheat, as it is not even a grass! Instead, buckwheat is related to sorrel and rhubarb. Which, in turn, makes it a great option to all those out there with food allergies!

    I personally have a love affair with buckwheat – I can eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner all in the same day! And then have a buckwheat cookie for dessert! I even grind my own buckwheat flour! It’s so good for you.

    Buckwheat flour cookies equal a healthy treat recipe!

    I enjoy making healthier treat recipes because it should be possible to indulge in traditional sweets on a regular basis and avoid many unhealthy ingredients at the same time. Best of all, you’ll never know that they are the ‘healthier’ version. They taste like high quality chocolate cookies! No compromises here.

    I used allergen free chocolate chips here, made by Enjoy Life brand. These chocolate chips are free of common allergens, so frequent in most other chocolate chips, such as: soy, milk, nuts or dairy.

    These sweet treats have all high quality ingredients for good health: olive oil, nutritious buckwheat flour (not related to wheat at all) , and zero wheat or gluten.

    You just can’t beat the combination of dark chocolate, brown sugar and chocolate chips here!

    Use Raw cacao powder in this buckwheat cookie

    I used raw cacao powder which is very light and needs to be mixed in with oil in order to blend in well with the rest of the ingredients.

    I’ve read tons of studies exploring links between chocolate and health benefits, and most of these studies are not dealing with chocolates you’d find at the store. They’re focused on cacao beans themselves, either in raw or minimally-processed forms, which is what I used here – raw cacao powder. That’s a key distinction between this cookie recipes and many others that do not use raw cacao in them.

    Difference between cacao and cocoa

    Cacao is a pure form of chocolate, made by cold pressing unroasted cocoa beans while cocoa is always processed with high heat, which destroys some of the beneficial nutrients it contains.

    Cacao powder contains higher amounts of fiber and nutrients than cocoa powder. Cacao powder is an amazing source of vitamins, minerals, fiber and protein.

    And it bakes well too!

    Organic Dark Brown Sugar

    I also opted for organic dark brown sugar here not only because organic is better and healthier, but because I find that it bakes very well and adds a wonderful taste to the cookie.

    To make buckwheat flour cookies egg free

    Substitute egg with 3 tablespoons of water and add 1 additional tablespoon of olive oil. When forming a cookie, double up on the height of the cookie to make it twice as thick to compensate for the lack of egg. Otherwise it will crumble very easily.

    I make egg free version of this cookie quite often – and it’s quite tasty!

      If a 1/4 cup of buckwheat flour is 35% DV how are these only 4%? And does “soda” mean baking soda?

        Yes, baking soda. Can you clarify what value does 4% refer to?

      I love experimenting with gluten free baking, I tried Chocolate Coconut Macaroons, Quinoa Cookies and now buckwheat cookies! And I also managed to make the best gluten free chocolate chip cookies with almond flour. Buckwheat flour is great grain-free flour suitable for all baking needs. Buckwheat also makes a great soba noodles. Organic Buckwheat Flour has a fresh, subtle aroma, a rich nutty flavor and a natural, light brown color.
