Buckwheat cookies

Vegan and gluten-free buckwheat chocolate cookies flavored with ginger.

Buckwheat cookies - guilt-free chocolate cookies made with buckwheat flour. These cookies will have a soft and chewy texture with little crisp edges. My daughter calls these as dark fantasy cookies 🙂

Buckwheat flour is a good alternative to wheat flour for gluten-free recipes. And it tastes very good in baked goodies and one cannot find it out.

Buckwheat flour also called kuttu atta, is a very famous vrat food in India. It has a distinct nutty taste and is highly nutritious. Buckwheat is rich in fiber, proteins and B vitamins.

I also make cakes and paratha with buckwheat flour. Check the buckwheat banana muffins recipe if you are interested.

How to make buckwheat ginger cookies with step by step photos:

Take flax seed powder, brown sugar, salt, coconut oil, coconut yogurt into a mixing bowl and mix everything well.

To this mixture, now add water or milk and mix it again. Keep this wet mixture aside.

Now take a plate, add buckwheat flour to the seive.

To it add cacao powder, baking soda and dry ginger powder.

Sift and mix everything well so that all ingredients are mixed well.

Now add sifted flour mixture to the wet mixture in 3 parts and prepare cookie batter.

The batter will be a little runny and pouring consistency.

Line a baking sheet and drop the batter on it took. This batter spreads a little bit so make sure to leave some gap between the cookies. Else your cookies will be joined like mine 😋

Bake for 12 minutes at 180 degrees C.

Variations:

• You can use butter or any neutral-flavored oil to make these cookies.
• I have used coconut yogurt to make these vegan buckwheat cookies. Normal yogurt can be replaced.
• Instead of water, you can use milk or any plant-based milk to make these. I sometimes add homemade coconut milk as well to make these.
• If you don’t like ginger flavor, use vanilla bean powder or cinnamon powder for flavoring these cookies.
• Coconut sugar is a good replacement for brown sugar. You can use raw cane sugar as well.
