Description

Delicious and fluffy buckwheat pancakes perfect for breakfast.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup buckwheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg (Sub for flax egg or Bob’s Red Mill egg replacer)
  • 1 1/4 cups buttermilk (or dairy-free buttermilk)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (Swap for 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup for a natural sweetener)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Whisk together buckwheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
  2. Whisk the egg, buttermilk, melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until smooth. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Serve warm with maple syrup, butter, fruits, or yogurt.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, replace the egg with a flax egg or Bob’s Red Mill egg replacer.
  • You can use dairy-free buttermilk by mixing non-dairy milk with a bit of vinegar.
