gluten free buckwheat chocolate chip cookies

As I write this, I am just over 2 weeks postpartum with our second babe, Indie Bo. And both my heart and my hunger are growing by the day.

I am breastfeeding sweet Indie a lot, and with that comes some serious hunger. I’ve been enjoying an afternoon sweet, but especially in this recovery period, want to be sure I am nourishing my body. I found a bag of buckwheat flour in our cabinet, and decided to put it to use for these super simple, delicious buckwheat cookies.

They’re delicious, nourishing, and kiddo approved! Evie loves them packed in her forest school lunch. Oh, and they’re easy too; I actually put the batter together with my right hand, while holding Indie in my left arm.

I hope you love these as much as we do and that you share with the ones you love.

Happy baking, friends!

WHAT YOU NEED:

  • 1 cup buckwheat flour
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • optional (and encouraged): 1/4 cup pecans or walnuts

WHAT YOU DO:

Add the butter and coconut sugar to a mixing bowl and mix until smooth (I used a hand mixer); then, add the maple syrup, egg, and vanilla and blend until creamy, about 2 minutes.
Next, add the buckwheat flour, baking soda, and salt, and mix to thoroughly combine.
Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts (if using), cover, and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
When you’re ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350F; then, scoop the dough into mounds onto a lined baking sheet, and bake for 12-13 minutes.
Let cool on the pan for a few minutes, then move onto a cooling rack, and ENJOY! 

Enjoy friends! If you enjoy these cookies, I’d love to hear about it! Comment below or tag me on social media. Sending love and nourishment, now and always! Thanks for being in the Sourdough Sisterhood. All are welcome.

Hugs, Laura
