These gluten-free buckwheat pancakes are delicious for breakfast and are easy to make. They are tender, moist and have a nutty flavour. Buckwheat pancakes are perfect for a quick weekday breakfast or on slow weekend mornings.

When our kids were young we used to eat pancakes for dinner at least once a week. We were busy with swim, hockey and luge practices that mornings were too hectic for pancakes. We all loved to eat pancakes for dinner- or brinner it is called.

Have you tried making pancakes with buckwheat flour? Or any recipes using buckwheat flour, groats or puffs? This recipe only uses one flour-buckwheat flour in it. A recipe that only uses ONE flour is a good thing, especially when so many gluten-free recipes call for multiple flours in them. This buckwheat pancake recipe itself is pretty simple. Start your morning with stack of these fluffy buckwheat pancakes favoured with nutmeg and cinnamon. Try heating up the maple syrup before you drizzle on the pancakes for a fun change.

IS BUCKWHEAT GLUTEN-FREE?

Despite being called buckwheat, there is no wheat involved. Buckwheat is highly nutritious whole grain that contains NO GLUTEN. Buckwheat is a good source of protein, fibre and energy. It is similar to quinoa in that it is a grain-like seed.

I like to replace quinoa in salads with buckwheat groats. Have a couple recipes on the blog using buckwheat like buckwheat salad and chocolate buckwheat puff squares.

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE THE PANCAKES?

These gluten-free buckwheat pancakes are delicious for breakfast and are easy to make. They are tender, moist and full of nutty flavour.

The gluten-free buckwheat pancakes are fluffy, a bit of sweet and the perfect canvas for a good drizzle of maple syrup. This buckwheat pancake recipe is a great way to start your day with whole grains, protein and fibre. Due to the whole grain and high fibre content in the pancakes I find one pancake is quite filling for me.

Whole grains have been shown to help reduce the risk of asthma, lower the risk of some cancers, type 2 diabetes, strokes and heart disease. This gluten-free recipe only uses 1 Tbsp of sugar for 8 medium pancakes. There is no need to add more to the batter. Once you have topped the pancakes with maple syrup and fresh fruit, they are plenty sweet.
