Vegan Nutty Buckwheat Bread

Bread has always held a special place in my heart, but I realised that many store-bought options were high in refined carbs, leading to energy crashes and cravings. As a vegan, I sought a healthier alternative that wouldn’t compromise on taste or texture. That’s when I discovered this nutty buckwheat and seed bread loaf – a gluten-free, plant-based recipe that’s both satisfying and nourishing.

Homemade and Healthy Nutty Buckwheat Bread Story

The first time I tried this bread, it was at my place – brought over by a dear German friend. She sliced into it at the table, and I remember thinking, “That looks too good to pass up.” One bite later, I knew I needed the recipe. I made it that very evening. Of course, I couldn’t resist tweaking it a little to suit my texture-loving palate. What emerged was a hearty, deeply satisfying loaf, brimming with nutty flavour and wholesome goodness. Soaking the nuts and seeds makes it easier to digest and unlocks more nutrients – a detail I truly value. And the fact that it’s gluten-free? Just the cherry on top. It’s now my go-to when I want something nourishing, homemade, and undeniably delicious.

Servings 1 Large Loaf

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups whole buckwheat rinsed and soaked overnight then drained, can be substituted with rolled oats but no need to soak oats
  • 1 cup pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds
  • ½ cup flax seeds
  • ½ cup almonds
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 4 tbsp psyllium husk
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or sweetener of choice
  • 3 tbsp melted coconut oil
  • 1 ½ cups water

Instructions

  • Combine Dry Ingredients: I In a large bowl, mix the soaked buckwheat (or oats), pumpkin seeds, flaxseeds, almonds, chia seeds, psyllium husk, and sea salt.
  • Prepare Wet Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and water until well combined.
  • Mix Together: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly until a thick, dough-like consistency forms. If the mixture is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of water.
  • Transfer to loaf tin: Line a loaf tin with parchment paper or use a silicone loaf pan. Spoon the mixture into the tin and smooth the top with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
  • Rest the Dough: Cover the tin and let it sit at room temperature for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the dough to settle and bind.
  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F)
  • First Bake: Place the loaf tin in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. The top should start to brown, and the loaf should hold its shape.
  • Second Bake: Remove the loaf from the tin and place it upside down directly on the oven rack. Bake for an additional 20 minutes. The bread is done when it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  • Cool Completely: Allow the bread to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. This step is crucial to ensure the bread sets properly.
