Buckwheat Cinnamon Raisin Bread
One of my favorite things to eat with breakfast is a piece of Buckwheat Cinnamon Raisin Bread toasted with a slather of peanut butter. The sweet cinnamon date swirl compliments the earthy flavor of the buckwheat bread perfectly. Breakfast just got a whole lot better!

I accidentally hit four stars and can’t change it to five! Love your bread recipes and want to see more! Your Irish Soda bread is amazing so I make two loaves at a time. I don’t east sodium and use these substitutions for the same result in all your recipes..
Baking Soda and Potassium Bicarb can be substituted equally.
1 teaspoon baking powder = ¼ tsp Potassium Bicarb + ½ teaspoon Cream of Tartar.
Question about this recipe…in your video you bake the bread for 45 minutes, but the recipe says 1 hour. Which is the correct time? Thank you.
It is 1 hour. The original recipe for just the buckwheat bread is 45 minutes so I always check it at that point but with the added cinnamon date mixture it usually takes that extra time so that it cooks through.
To make your cinnamon swirl in your bread more like you remember it, simply add half the batter to the loaf pan, then half of the cinnamon mixture, swirl. Then add remaining batter and top with remaining cinnamon mixture a swirl again. There! Now you’ll have swirl throughout when you cut into it. ?
Can i use water instead kilka?
I haven’t tried making it that way so, honestly, I’m not sure.
Can you use whole wheat flour?
I haven’t tried using any other flours with this recipe, sorry
Can you tell me what the texture of this bread should be like after it’s cooked? The bread is in the oven now. My first with buckwheat flour recipe. One difference I see is that my buckwheat flour is darker as is the bread.
The texture is spongy like the texture of quick breads
Made this for Good Friday. It was so delicious. Didn’t feel like a healthy alternative but a special treat.
I have made the buckwheat bread before, and found it a bit sweet, so it is perfect like this.
Hi what can I use instead of liquid aminos? Thank you
You can leave it out
Thank you! I left it out and it’s marvellous!! Added a tiny bit of a vanilla stevia to the bread batter too.
Wondering, if I could add some carob to the cinnamon swirl, have you tried?
I haven’t but it sounds delicious
why did my bread come out very dark? Is it a difference in buckwheat?
Some buckwheat flour, they grind with the hulls on which makes it a darker color. It works just the same though.
Hi Jill, any good alternative to liquid aminos? Also, any difference between using deglet dates and medjool dates?
low sodium soy sauce or 1/2 tsp of regular salt. Medjool dates are about twice the size of deglet dates and a little bit sweeter.
Just discovered your fabulous recipe 2024 outrageously good my rasins sank to the bottom but who cares THANK YOU
I’m out of buckwheat. Any suggestion to substitute it?
In the recipe above it says add the raisins in the blender but the ingredient list doesn’t have raisins. In has dates. Can it be made with raisins instead of dates?
There are raisins in the bread ingredients but not the swirl part.
