Sometimes we just want something fancy schmancy to eat but without the time and effort. So I made these easy peasy Strawberry Buckwheat Shortcakes… in the microwave!
These beautiful, delicious (and secretly healthy) Strawberry Buckwheat Shortcakes take only five minutes to make and five minutes to “bake.” These shortcakes contain the healthiest of ingredients and are a real treat… and a treat without the guilt!
Healthy Microwaveable Buckwheat Strawberry Shortcakes
- 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)
-
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!
