Pancakes are one of our favourite treats on a lazy Sunday morning. Next time your craving strikes, try these out for a healthier choice. These fluffy buckwheat pancakes are gluten-free and contain no added sugar — giving you the perfect excuse to layer on your favourite syrup and toppings!
We recommend berries and maple syrup to balance out the earthy and nutty flavour of buckwheat. See recipe below for more topping ideas!
Why we love substituting buckwheat for traditional flour: buckwheat is gluten-free, high in dietary fibre, minerals, and antioxidants.

Directions
- Start by mashing your ripe banana with a fork.

- In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients (buckwheat, baking powder, cinnamon and salt).
- Pour the liquid into the dry ingredients and mix well with a whisk.

Notes
- If your coconut oil has solidified at room temperature, give it a quick zap in the microwave so that it liquifies. Continue stirring as your mix the oil into the rest of your liquid ingredients.
