\"gluten-free<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Hi friends!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today I wanted to share these gluten-free buckwheat pancakes with you. I am a creature of habit when it comes to breakfast and can eat the same thing every day and be completely happy. Lately, my breakfast of choice has been these pancakes. I make a batch, which is enough for breakfast for 4-5 days and eat them topped with peanut butter and jelly. You may not be super familiar with buckwheat flour so let’s talk about it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is buckwheat gluten-free?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes! Buckwheat is naturally gluten-free. It is actually not wheat at all, it’s a seed, similar to quinoa and amaranth. It’s high in fiber and also contains minerals like magnesium and iron. Buckwheat flour can be found at many grocery stores or purchased online. It is often processed at facilities that also process wheat so if you need to avoid gluten, be sure to look for a certified gluten-free variety. I buy the Arrowhead Mills brand<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buttermilk buckwheat pancakes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’ve tested several versions of this buckwheat pancakes recipe and the key to fluffy buckwheat pancakes is buttermilk! No worries if you don’t have any on hand. It’s super easy to make- just pour your milk and add a couple of tablespoons of white vinegar and let sit for 5 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are buckwheat pancakes healthy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These are! They’re high in fiber thanks to the buckwheat flour and pumpkin, contain protein from the milk, eggs and hemp seeds and are low in added sugar. Perfect for a healthy, filling breakfast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best mix-ins for buckwheat pancakes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Buckwheat has a mild flavor but I did find some batches to be a little bit dry. To fix that, I altered the recipe a bit to make them pumpkin buckwheat pancakes. The pumpkin flavor does not really shine through, it just adds necessary moisture to the recipe. Banana buckwheat pancakes would be another great option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to make buckwheat pancakes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can make these pancakes the same way you make traditional pancakes. Gather your ingredients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
