Ingredients
  

DRY:

  • 100 g buckwheat flour
  • 80 g almond meal
  • 80 g potato starch or tapioca flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder GF
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons xantham gum
  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
  • 1 tablespoon psyllium husks
  • 2 pinches coarse sea salt
  • 2 or more pinches mixed spice

WET:

  • ½ cup oat milk room temperature
  • ¼ cup coconut oil liquefied
  • 2 tablespoons apple purée/sauce

TO MIX IN:

  • 1 cup dates pitted and chopped
  • 2 generous teaspoons orange zest

Instructions
 

  • Sift all dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl – except the psyllium husks – add these last as they are too large to sieve. Use a whisk to lightly mix up the flour blend and evenly distribute all ingredients.
  • In a small bowl, combine all liquid ingredients and whisk together. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour wet mixture in. Use a spoon to fold the two together to combine, then add the dates and zest.
  • Keep folding the mixture together – it will become a very sticky dough. This is totally fine. Once it has combined into a ball, leave it to rest for 20 minutes while you heat up your oven (220˚C), allowing the psyllium husks time to swell and bind with the liquids.
  • After 20 minutes, the dough should be a lot more workable. Transfer to a baking tray lined with baking paper, and pat it into a round shape. Cut the dough into 8 pieces then fan bake for 10-12 minutes or until done. In my oven, ten minutes is perfect.
  • Serve with raspberry chia jam and whipped coconut cream, recipe below.
