I usually just use stevia as a sweetener in baking. Have you tried stevia? I love it... I use it in lots of things.
Here's a recipe that I just tried today, with some changes...

Quick Buckwheat Bread Recipe
This easy buckwheat bread recipe creates a cornbread-like cake that goes well with many dishes, including soups and chili. If you require a gluten-free or even grain-free diet, it's an especially welcome addition to any meal!
- 1 1/2 C buckwheat flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 tsp cream of tartar OR 3/4 tsp unbuffered vitamin C crystals
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 Tbsp maple or date sugar (you can use more or less)
- 1 C water (or goat's milk or rice milk, if tolerated)
- 1/4 C maple syrup or agave nectar
- 3 Tbsp sunflower, grapeseed, or other tolerated vegetable oil
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Oil and sprinkle flour on a 9" pie pan or an 8" X 8" square pan. Whisk dry ingredients in a separate bowl from the liquid ingredients. After mixing each separately, combine, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Pour batter into prepared pan, and bake for 20-25 minutes, until a knife or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool, slice, and enjoy! |
I used buckwheat farinetta in place of regular buckwheat flour. I did not use the maple or date sugar; I just used stevia instead. And I used just 1 tablespoon of honey instead of the 1/4 cup of maple syrup or agave nectar (and I added a bit of extra water). I liked how it turned out... I thought it tasted decent. I might try it without any honey at all next time (it might change the texture too much though).
