Vegan and gluten-free buckwheat chocolate cookies flavored with ginger.
Buckwheat chocolate 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. Please check the buckwheat banana muffins recipe if you are interested.
Variations to these buckwheat cookies:
- 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.
