Easy Gluten-Free Buckwheat Pancakes
- Add the buckwheat flour, baking soda, baking powder and sea salt to a large mixing bowl. Mix well. Next, add the non-dairy milk, egg and vanilla extract to the same bowl and mix well. Allow the mixture to sit for at least 5 minutes while preparing the frying pan.
- Place a frying pan over medium heat and add about 1 teaspoon of coconut oil to the center of the pan.
- Once the coconut oil melts, pour roughly ¼ cup of batter into the pan. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Once you begin to see small bubbles on one side of the pancake and the sides begin to dry out, you can flip it over and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Serve with warm maple syrup or honey, nuts, seeds and fresh fruit of your choice.
Notes
Buckwheat contains important doses of a phytonutrient called lignan, which protects our bodies against hormone-dependent diseases (including breast cancer). If you are struggling with a hormone imbalance, adding buckwheat to your diet helps your body balance hormone production.
