main ingredients you will need
what is buckwheat flour?
have you ever seen this mysterious flour in the grocery store? if you have seen it, i'm sure you thought "i would never use that".
however, here you are! let's chat a little bit more about buckwheat and what it is.
how is buckwheat flour made? buckwheat flour is ground from buckwheat which is actually an herb!
it looks and acts like a grain but is actually a seed rich in complex carbohydrates. it has a grey look to it but is made of white and black speckles.
last but not least, the buckwheat adds a delicious flavor to this classic pumpkin bread.
i hope you give it a try and enjoy it!
tips for making this pumpkin bread
- prep the pan - one of the first things you should do is line the pan with parchment paper. this makes removal from the pan easy and pain free. in addition, spray the parchment paper with with nonstick (i prefer to use coconut oil spray).
- make the batter - combine all of the wet ingredients before folding in the dry. be sure to not overmix the batter.
- baking - bake on the middle rack of the oven and rotate 180 degrees halfway through. these ensure the most even baking of the pumpkin bread.
- let it cool - overall, be sure to let the buckwheat pumpkin bread cool completely. first, remove the bread from the pan after 10 minutes of cooling. next, move to a cooling rack to complete the cooling process.
frequently asked questions
make sure you are accurately measuring your liquid ingredients and flour. too little wet and too much flour will yield a dry pumpkin bread.
also, make sure to not overbake your pumpkin bread. this will dry out the loaf!
after removing the bread from the oven, let it cool for 10 minutes in the pan. remove from the pan and let it finish the cooling process on a rack to cool completely.
you don't! if you don't have buckwheat flour use all gluten free flour or all regular all purpose flour.
i do not recommend using oat flour, coconut flour or almond flour as those will yield a different texture / final result.
the pumpkin bread is done baking when you stick a toothpick in and it comes out clean.
store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerator for up to 7 days. you can also freeze it for up to 1 month, i recommend slicing before freezing!
