These delicious vegan buckwheat brownies with Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat, almond flour, and creamy rich cacao frosting, are the best. They’re healthy, too, with prebiotics, probiotics, protein, and fiber. 🤎 😋


Even those of us that don’t do a lot of sugary treats break down every now and again, and if you do—when you do—rock a shameless cheat.

Like these ultra-rich vegan buckwheat chocolate brownies made with Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat (HTB), almond flour, and protein-rich chia seeds. Which, by the way, pack all nine essential amino acids.

Beyond that, HTB is a complete protein, and that’s in addition to being one of the healthiest seeds on earth. It rocks vitamins, minerals, prebiotics, probiotics, and over four bioactive compounds.

And we all know, or should anyway, that cacao is sweet. Toss some walnuts in—Dr. Greger calls them the healthiest nut—and yum yum!

This recipe is organic, vegan, and gluten-free.

Another fun fact about this recipe is that date sugar is one of the healthiest sweeteners. I typically use stevia, but for some recipes date sugar rocks.

According to NutritionFacts, it’s one of the “only two health-promoting caloric sweeteners,” including blackstrap molasses.

Here’s what you’ll need (full recipe below):

How to Make a Chia Egg

To make one chia egg mix one tablespoon of ground or soaked whole organic chia seed with three tablespoons of filtered water, wait for 10 minutes, mix again, then use.

Vegan egg substitutes are widely available, but chia is healthiest. It’s a complete vegan protein with all nine essential amino acids.

There are tons of nuts you can add to brownies, but walnuts are one of the best. They have “the highest antioxidant and omega-3 levels,” says one report.
