Gluten-Free Buckwheat Flour Brownies

These gluten-free buckwheat flour brownies are fudgy and chocolatey. They really call for a tall glass of ice-cold milk. In the big wide world of brownie recipes, you have three texture options:  chewy, cakey or fudgy. These brownies are fudgy!

And in my opinion, fudgy really is the best brownie texture. Geoff was obsessed with these and single-handedly ate half the pan. I love that they are naturally sweetened with coconut sugar and naturally gluten-free. Buckwheat flour has no gluten! You should also try these Buckwheat Banana Muffins if you're on a buckwheat flour kick!

Get Creative! Here are some delicious brownie add ins:

  • Nut butter swirl
    6 tablespoon peanut butter
    2 tablespoon maple syrup
    Pinch of salt

  • Cream cheese swirl
  • Various nuts: walnuts, pecans, peanuts
  • Peppermint extract (1 tsp)
  • Crushed pretzels
  • Top them with chocolate icing 
  • Flakey salt
  • Nutella swirl 
  • Jam swirl

Gluten-Free Buckwheat Flour Brownie Recipe Notes

Health benefits of buckwheat flour.

Buckwheat flour is very nutritious! Buckwheat is higher in protein and fibre than all-purpose flour or even oat flour. 1 cup of buckwheat flour contains 15 grams of protein and 12 grams of fibre according to (Nutritional Value). It contains good amounts of potassium, magnesium and B vitamins. It’s naturally gluten-free and typically easier for most individuals to digest.

Is buckwheat flour gluten free?

Yes, buckwheat flour is gluten-free. Surprisingly, buckwheat is closely related to the rhubarb plant. Buckwheat is not a grain at all!

Where can I buy buckwheat flour?

Buckwheat flour can be purchased at most major grocery stores (typically found in the health or gluten-free section) I purchased “Bob’s Red Mill” Buckwheat flour at my local grocery store. If you can’t find it locally you could order it online from the Bob’s Red Mill website or find it at a specialty health food store.

How to Make Gluten-Free Buckwheat Flour Brownies

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and prepare a 8x8 pan by lining with parchment paper or brushing with butter.

In a small bowl, stir together buckwheat flour, unsweetened cocoa powder and salt.

In a medium saucepan, melt butter and 1 cup of chocolate chips together. In a medium-size bowl, whisk eggs and coconut sugar together and add in the melted butter and chocolate when it has cooled slightly.

Combine dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until no dry clumps remain.  Stir in ½ cup of chocolate chips.

Pour brownie batter into the prepared 8x8 pan.

Bake for 35-40 minutes until the middle is set and a toothpick comes out clean.

My favourite way to have brownies is with a nut or seed butter swirl. These brownies are delicious with tahini. To add a swirl: In a small bowl stir together 6 tablespoon of tahini, 2 tablespoon maple syrup and a pinch of salt. Drop 6 equally placed dollops of the tahini mixture on the brownie batter.

Using a chopstick or a thin utensil, slowly swirl the tahini mixture around to create a beautiful swirl pattern on the brownies.

    Thank you for this recipe! I made a larger batch in a 9x12 pan, adding 1/2 each minced zucchinni and chopped walnuts. Due to a pantry shortage, in the dry ingredients I used 1/2 c. chocolate chips, 1/4 c. white chocolate chips, and a bit extra cocoa. As soon as the brownies finished baking, I sprinkled flaked salt atop them. I call them the Best Damn Brownies; I'm sending them in a care package, and hoping they wil be a small blessing. (Mixed messages here, I know. Why be simple?)
    Anyway, thank you again for the recipe. I plan on baking these again, with my modifications, planned and unplanned included.

    I use buckwheat flour in my cooking a lot, but never tried baking brownies with it, your recipe sounds so delicious and doable. Can't wait to bake over the weekend for my baby brother's birthday 🙂
