How to Cook Buckwheat Flakes

Instead of using regular oats to make porridge, we advise you to use buckwheat, an equally nutritious and filling alternative with a fantastic taste! Moreover, you can top it up with any delicious fruit you can think of. Take a look at our recipe for one of the best tasting options.

Ingredients

• 3 to 4 tablespoonfuls buckwheat flakes
• 100 ml water/ milk
• 1 banana
• Blueberries
• Powdered cinnamon

Preparation

To make buckwheat porridge, you'll only have to pour the buckwheat flakes in a saucepan and add the water. Alternatively, you can use milk (vegetable milk too if you like) as this will give the dish some extra nutritional value. Heat for 2 to 3 minutes, until the flakes have absorbed most of the water or milk.

Cut the banana into slices and add it as a topping with the blueberries and cinnamon to taste and you're done!

Another great way to cook buckwheat flakes is to make delicious biscuits or chocolate chip cookies. Again, they make a great substitute for regular flour.

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1 cup oats

• 1 cup buckwheat flakes

• 125 g unsalted butter
• 1/4 maple syrup
• 1tsp baking soda
• 2 tbsp water
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 cup desiccated coconut or chocolate chips

Preparation

The first obvious step you'll need to take is to blend the buckwheat flakes to make buckwheat flour. Mix the flour with the sugar, rolled oats, coconut or chocolate and a small pinch of salt. Heat the butter in a saucepan and add some maple syrup. Cook until the butter has melted.

Meanwhile, boil some water and pour it in a bowl with the bicarbonate soda. Once the mix is ready, add it to the butter. Stir it on the heat and pour all of this mixture in the bowl with the dry ingredients. Now's the time to create the biscuit balls while you pre-heat the oven.

Put some baking paper on the baking trays and place the cookie balls you made with some inches between so they don't stick. Press them slightly and when you're done, bake in the oven at 180 degrees for 10 minutes or until they are golden. Leave the cookies to stand so they cool down.

Keeping on the sweet side, buckwheat can be a great substitute for any recipe that requires flour. Again, turn your buckwheat flakes into flour before you begin the recipe.

Ingredients

• 180 g buckwheat flour
• 100 g whole grain gluten-free flour
• 5 g baking soda
• 10 g baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 eggs
• 125 g honey
• 1.5 cups buttermilk
• 1/3 cup honey
• 75 g canola oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 170 g blueberries
• 10 g poppy seeds

Preparation

Once you have prepared the buckwheat flour, pre-heat the oven at 375 degrees and add butter to the muffin molds. Sieve the all of the flours, baking soda and powder and salt. Mix them all in a bowl.

In another bowl, mix all the wet ingredients including the eggs, honey, vanilla extract and buttermilk. Once mixed, pour them in with the dry ingredients and whisk until they are blended. Now's the time to add the poppy seeds and blueberries.

Fill in the muffin molds to the top and put them in the oven for 25/30 minutes. Take them from the oven and leave them to stand until they have cooled down before you remove them from their molds.
