These gluten free buckwheat rolls are chewy and soft - great for a weeknight dinner. They are gluten free, dairy free and vegan friendly. Furthermore, this buckwheat dinner roll recipe is made with just 6 ingredients and ready in less than 30 minutes.
I've kinda been on a buckwheat flour kick lately. I've been remaking a lot of my old buckwheat flour recipes to go alongside breakfast for my kids.
Buckwheat is a unique flour to work with - much more elastic than other grain free flours and it has an earthy, grassy flavor. Which doesn't sound desirable, but with the right ingredients can taste incredible!
These buckwheat flour rolls DO taste wonderful and they're a great addition to family dinner. We enjoy slicing them in half and eating them with butter or homemade jam. But really, they're great on their own too.

How to Make Gluten Free Buckwheat Rolls
These gluten free buckwheat rolls take a few steps to make and they're ready to eat in under 30 minutes!
First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a muffin tin with butter or oil (I used palm shortening).
In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the buckwheat flour, tapioca starch, baking soda and salt. Mix in the yogurt and maple syrup, stirring until the batter has a uniform, slightly sticky consistency.
Use a large cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons in size) to scoop the dough into the greased muffin tin.
Place the rolls in your oven and bake at 350 degrees for 15-16 minutes.
After baking, take the rolls out the oven and let them cool a few minutes in the pan. Then transfer them to a wire cooling rack or serve warm.
My family enjoys slicing them in half and smothering them with butter or homemade jam.
Storage
Keep these vegan buckwheat rolls in a sealed container in the fridge. They last well up to one week.
Before eating, you can warm them in the microwave or toaster oven to soften them up.

Hi Katie! I have quite a few allergies which makes finding recipes a bit hard but I recently came across your page and spent quite a few hours saving recipes! This was the first one I tried it was amazing, easy and affordable (especially for me a broke college student hahah) can't wait to try a few more! Thank you very much!
Katie
Hi Luena! I'm so glad you found a few recipes that meet your dietary restrictions - I know all about food allergies, as my daughter has many. Thank you SO much for leaving a review. I hope you can find a few more recipes here that you love 🙂

My friend was looking for Palo dinner rolls and I sent her this recipe. She loved it. Thanks Katie!
Marnie
Do you think you could substitute potato starch for the tapioca starch?
Katie
I think that swap should work, but I haven't tested it myself.
Deborah Walker
I can't find the nutrition card with carbs, fiber,protein etc. Thank you!
Katie
Hi, I did not calculate the nutritional information for this recipe. But you can do that using a free app like MyFitnessPal.
Wayne Solomon
What is the reason for the maple syrup, could you make it without maple syrup?
Katie
It is added for flavor. You can leave it out if you want, I just think they taste better with a little maple syrup.
Marge
I’ve read your notes several times but couldn’t find the answer to my question….Do these freeze well & if so, how long?
Katie
Hi! I haven't personally frozen them, as they get eaten quickly at my house. However, you should be able to freeze them up to one month. The texture probably won't be as good as fresh baked, but they should still taste good.
Annie
Hi, I’d love to make these but I don’t have any yogurt available. Could I maybe sub it for mashed banana, applesauce, coconut milk, or something else? I know it will alter the flavor, but I’d really like to try this recipe because I always have great results with yours!
Katie
Hi! I'm so glad you've been enjoying my recipes! I have not tried any substitutes for the yogurt and I'm afraid to give any suggestions, as I feel the yogurt is a crucial part of this recipe. If you try a swap, then I'd love to know how it turns out though!

Could we swap the tapioca starch with psyillium husk?
Katie
Hmmm, I'm not 100% sure because I have never baked with psyllium husk. I don't think you can swap it at a 1:1 ratio.
