Healthy Microwaveable Buckwheat Strawberry Shortcakes
Ingredients
- 1 tbs Ground Flaxseed
- ⅓ cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
- ¼ cup Unsweetened Applesauce
- 60g (½ cup) Buckwheat Flour
- ½ tsp Double-Acting Baking Powder
- 4 packets Natural Sweetener (stevia, Truvia, etc.)
- ⅛ tsp Salt
- 3 Strawberries (sliced)
- All-Natural Whipped Cream (I used Soyatoo Rice Whip)
Instructions
- Place 3 silicone cupcake molds on a microwave-safe plate.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flax, almond milk, and applesauce.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour, baking powder, sweetener, and salt. Scoop the batter into the cupcake molds and microwave for ~4 minutes and 30 seconds, or until surface of the cakes spring back when tapped. Remove cupcakes from the molds and let cool.
- Slice the strawberries.
- Slice each cupcake into 3 rounds. Place the first round down, top with whipped cream and strawberry slices. Repeat with the next cake round. Serve and enjoy!

Looks great! Can you sub whole wheat flour for the buckwheat?
I haven’t tried that but I’m crossing my fingers that it works! 🙂
these look great, but i don’t buy that they are “complete” in protein…
Buckwheat is a complete protein, just like quinoa and soy. The protein quality is slightly lower than chicken or fish, for example, but it is complete 🙂
