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!

Get Creative! Here are some delicious brownie add ins:

  • Nut butter swirl
    6 tbsp peanut butter
    2 tbsp 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 8×8 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 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.

Pour brownie batter into the prepared 8×8 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 tbsp of tahini, 2 tbsp 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.
