Vegan Buckwheat Nut & Seed Bread

There are lots of websites online featuring nut and seed loaves, some with oats, some with quinoa, some with added sweetener or gluten-free flours. I decided to share my own go-to loaf which I make about once every 2 weeks, slice and keep in the freezer for quick nourishing breakfasts or with soup for lunch. This recipe has come about after trial and error and lots of experimenting with various ingredients (and having to substitute things because I'd run out!).
