Ingredients

The following ingredients have 14 Servings
  • 2 1/2 cups buckwheat flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds ((soaked in 1/4 cup warm water))
  • 1/2 cup dairy free milk
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds ((raw, unroasted, unsalted))

Instruction

  • Preheat oven at 350-degree Fahrenheit and prepare an 8-inch bread pan with a parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine buckwheat flour, baking soda and salt. Mix well and keep it aside.
  • In a microwavable bowl combine dairy free milk, water and maple syrup and microwave it for 20 seconds. It should not be very warm but a little warmer than room temperature.
  • Now, fold in the warm liquids and soaked chia seeds in the flour mixture and mix it well into a sticky and thick batter.
  • Spoon it out in the prepared bread pan and top it with sunflower seeds making sure to cover its top thoroughly. Gently press the seeds into the bread with your hands. Should be a gentle press so that the seeds stick to the bread. Do not press it hard because we do not want to change shape or else it may not rise also.  
  • Place the bread pan in the middle rack of the oven and bake it for 35 minutes. Once done turn it off and let it rest in the warm oven for 1 minute. Take it out and let it cool down on a flat countersurface. Then, gently, take it out along with the parchment paper and slice. Enjoy immediately or store it.
