Recipe for vegan buckwheat pancakes

Have u used buckwheat flour before? Buckwheat flour is high in protein and fiber and lower in calories, making it a healthier flour than regular white flour. Although the name might fool you, buckwheat is not a wheat. It’s not even related to wheat, it’s related to rhubarb surprisingly enough. I bought buckwheat flour a while back to make buckwheat waffle bowls.
With the leftover buckwheat (I never throw food away) I wanted to make buckwheat pancakes. We all love pancakes and I made several variations on the classical (not so healthy) pancake recipe. I made Protein Chai Pancakes, sweet potato pancakes and oatmeal banana pancakes for example. I even made pancakes with just 2 ingredients and by far the most popular recipe on my blog is my recipe for avocado pancakes.

I guess I made my love for healthy pancakes clear now. Back to buckwheat. Buckwheat flour is gluten free, so I wanted to keep this recipe gluten free as well. As always I don’t use any raffinated sugars, so this recipe is also sugar free. Except if you want to top it with some maple or agave syrup of course. I’m a vegetarian and I try to eat as plantbased as possible. These buckwheat pancakes are completely vegan so no animal products like butter, milk or eggs are used. Extra benefit: this also makes it lactose free!
