This simple loaf has proven to be a winner and is especially perfect for afternoon tea.
The loaf is gluten, grain and dairy free as well as refined sugar free. The buckwheat flour creates a denser loaf, allowing it to slice easily. The addition of raspberries make it a taste sensation, and is sure to please any guest.

Is buckwheat flour allowed in a LC diet?
Hello Renae, please check out our previous article on buckwheat on our blog here. In this recipe we use 1 tablespoon of buckwheat flour which equates to 5g of carbs. Hope that helps!
Is there a substitute for buckwheat flour? as I don’t have it in my pantry. Thanks
Hello Fiona, you could add in 1 tablespoon of psyllium or add in additional almond flour. Either or will work fine.
Thankyou 😀
This sounds delicious
Can I use frozen raspberries?
Thanks for your help 😊
Hello Barbara,
You certainly can, just fold through extra gently. Enjoy.
Turned out really well but needed 10 mins longer in the oven maybe because of the frozen berries?
My loaf has just come out of the oven and smells delicious! Mmmmm…
How many serves are there per loaf? Thanks!
Yum, you are making me hungry!! We usually get 10-12 slices per loaf, it does depend on the size tin you use and how thick you cut it! Enjoy.
Thanks Min!
