Buckwheat is a popular gluten free flour that fits into many diets. Its healthy and protein packed with many more nutrition.

Its quite easy to handle buckwheat flour while baking and so I often bake buckwheat bread which is loved by all. I also made buckwheat pancakes and my famous vegan chocolate cake is also made with buckwheat flour.

Ingredients notes

Buckwheat flour – any buckwheat flour works in this recipe. Usually its dark in color and the outcome of the baked goods is darker comparatively.

Apples – red delicious apples does the justice to these cookies but Fuji apples also work here.

Flaxmeal – This works great as egg substitute and adds fiber and healthy fats to the recipe.

chocolate chips – any dairy free vegan chocolate chips work but I prefer using dairy free mini chocolate chips for my desserts.

  • It is important to check if your apples are sweet or else the cookies might come out as sweet as expected.
Buckwheat Chocolate Chip Cookies FAQs

How long does this last?

This taste best when served the same day. However, refrigerate the leftovers in a single layer in an air tight container for about 4 days. Warm it in the toaster oven for 3-4 minutes.

Do I need to rest the dough in the fridge for soft and chewy cookies?

Not for this recipe. This recipe has a brownie batter kind of texture and not very doughy.

Are these healthy?

I made them oil free and butter free and with very few but healthy ingredients. Hence, these are healthy comparatively.
