Soft. Chewy. Packed with flavor. And totally gluten-free.
If you’ve never baked with buckwheat flour before, these cookies are the perfect place to start. Not only are they rich, chocolatey, and totally irresistible—they’re also made with a flour that’s naturally gluten-free and full of goodness.
We gave our buckwheat flour chocolate chip cookies the ultimate test (aka we shared them with the whole family), and the verdict was unanimous: delicious! No one guessed they were gluten-free cookies, and everyone asked for seconds.
Why Use Buckwheat Flour?
Despite its name, buckwheat isn’t related to wheat at all. It’s actually a seed—and when ground into flour, it brings a subtle nutty flavor and tender texture to baked goods. Here are a few reasons we love it:
✅ Naturally Gluten-Free
✅ Rich in Plant-Based Protein
✅ High in Fiber & Antioxidants
✅ Easy to Digest
✅ Great for Cookies, Muffins, and Pancakes
It’s also one of the few gluten-free flours you can use on its own without needing a blend—making it perfect for simple swaps in your favorite recipes.
