Vegan Buckwheat Bread with Sunflower Seeds and Pear Sauce

Labels: { Bread, Einkorn, Fruit, Nuts and Seeds }

A simple quick bread recipe with buckwheat, ground einkorn, sunflower seeds, homemade pear sauce and olive oil. It's sugar-free, vegan, freezes well and goes well with avocado spread, peanut butter or cheese.

120 g Buckwheat flour
120 g Einkorn, ground into flour
2 tsp Spekulatius spice mix
2 tsp Baking soda
1/2 tsp Salt
420 g Homemade pear sauce
80 ml Olive oil
3 tbsp Pure NuNaturals stevia syrup
60 g Sunflower seeds

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a standard-size loaf tin with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine together the buckwheat flour, ground einkorn, spekulatius spice mix, baking soda, and salt.
Stir together the pear sauce, olive oil, and NuStevia syrup. Add it to the flour mixture and stir until just incorporated. Fold in the sunflower seeds.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and if desired, scatter some sunflower seeds over the top. Bake in the middle of hot oven for about an hour or until a skewer comes out clean when tested. Cool in pan briefly then turn out onto a rack to cool.

Angie's Recipes 29/10/15 10:15: @Vicki Bensinger hi Vicki, I didn't make the spekulatius spice mix. Bought it from X'mas market last year. But it shouldn't be difficult to find a recipe online. You can use pumpkin pie spice instead.
