What’s buckwheat ?

Buckwheat is a gluten free seed that can be used as whole (known as buckwheat groats) or flour. Buckwheat flour has a hearty flavor, it is high in fiber and therefore lower in carbs than others regular flour. Therefore, buckwheat is good to stabilize or reduce blood sugar level.

How to make vegan buckwheat pancakes?

Buckwheat pancakes are very easy to make with only few wholesome ingredients:

• Buckweat flour – the color of buckwheat flour vary from brands to brands. It tends to be darker in Europe (e.g France  has a darker buckwheat flour called ‘farine de ble noir’) and it is lighter in US or New Zealand/Australia. Whatever the color of your flour is, the result will be the same, a delicious buckwheat pancake.
• Baking soda and baking powder – this recipe has no gluten and the combo of leaving agents is the trick to make fluffy vegan gluten free pancakes
• Apple cider vinegar – activate the leaving agents and create a vegan buttermilk when combined with plant-based milk
• Unsweetened almond milk or water – you can use thicker plant based milk too, e.g soy milk. But note that the pancakes will be heavier if you swap almond milk for soy milk.
• Liquid sweetener – I love to use unrefined sugar so the best liquid sweetener are brown rice syrup, agave syrup, coconut syrup, maple syrup
• Vanilla
• Coconut oil or any oil you like, almond oil or avocado oil are healthy option. You can substitute oil by apple sauce, for an oil free vegan pancake recipe. Note that this will make the pancakes will be a bit more dense
