buckwheat bread

For those of you on a candida gluten-free or sugar-free diet, this grain-free, sugar-free buckwheat bread is a lifesaver...much more bread-like bread than coconut bread and is sturdy enough for sandwiches. It's great toasted with the addition of avocado, scrambled eggs or some coconut oil. This bread can also easily be made either sweet or savory with the addition of stevia or garlic powder.

Buckwheat Bread Recipe:
1c buckwheat flour (I used Bob's Red Mill)
2 eggs of flax eggs (1T flax + 3T warm water = 1 flax egg)
1 tsp sea salt
1c of unsweetened coconut milk, other milk or water
3/4 tbsp baking soda
Mix all the ingredients together and spoon into a medium lined baking tin. Bake at 350ยบ for 50 minutes. 

Enjoy! The only unfortunate thing about this sugar-free bread is that it very closely resembles a giant log of chocolate cake. :( Sorry about that.

Chocolate cake? Nope. It's Buckwheat Bread.

  1. Nice little recipe, very tasty and very close approximation of bread! Ours didn't come out nearly so black, but I used actual eggs as we are trying to deal with a candida problem so didn't need to sub in the "flax eggs" (though I'd never heard of that before, gotta try that!). Also I used yogurt instead of coconut milk. So not vegan, but thought I'd just give you feedback, thanks for that!

  2. I made this with two regular eggs and coconut milk. I put sunflower seeds on top before it baked. It was amazing! I'm making it again now with Greek yogurt instead of the coconut milk. I expect it to be just as great! Thanks for this simple and delicious recipe.
