Equipment

  • 1 large bowl
  • 1 Measuring Cup
  • measuring spoons
  • high-speed blender
  • loaf pan (9.5x5 inch)
  • parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups green buckwheat groats *see notes
  • ⅓ cup filtered water
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon agave nectar or honey
  • 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 Tablespoon sunflower seeds

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, add 2 cups of buckwheat groats and pour enough water to cover them. Let them soak at room temperature for minimum of 4 hours or overnight.
  • Rinse the soaked groats thoroughly 3-4 times. Strain the groats well in a fine mesh strainer.
  • In a high-speed blender (such as Vitamix), combine soaked and rinsed buckwheat, ⅓ cup of water, 1 Tablespoon olive oil, 1 Tablespoon agave nectar, 1 Tablespoon Apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt. Process on high until thick consistency is achieved. Use a tamper if necessary, as the mixture will be thick.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F. Prepare a loaf pan by lining it with a sheet of parchment paper. Otherwise the bread will stick to the pan. Pour the bread batter into the lines loaf pan. Sprinkle with some sunflower seeds on top.
  • Bake the bread for about 40-45 minutes or until the crust forms and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool for at least 10 minutes before removing it from the pan. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

Green buckwheat is unroasted buckwheat. Roasted is usually called brown buckwheat or kasha.
Baking time - adjust baking time if using a different size loaf pan.
Slicing - while the bread is warm, cut it into thicker slices. Once it cools down, you can slice it thinly as it will become less crumbly.
