VEGAN BUCKWHEAT PANCAKES

These vegan buckwheat pancakes are light and fluffy, completely egg-free, and great for freezing. They make an ideal quick breakfast for busy weekdays and are perfect for meal prep! Plus, they’re free from oil and refined sugar.

INGREDIENTS

DRY:

  • 1 ½ cups buckwheat flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

WET:

  • 6 tablespoons applesauce
  • 1 cup non-dairy milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or liquid sweetener of choice)

INSTRUCTIONS

  • In a large bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry mix and whisk until smooth and free of clumps.
  • Heat a large frying pan or griddle. Add oil if needed.
  • Scoop the batter onto the pan using a 1/3 cup measuring cup to form even circles.
  • Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the top of the pancakes.
  • Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  • Repeat the process until all batter is used.
  • Serve with fresh fruit, maple syrup, and enjoy!

Notes: Buckwheat flours can vary in texture and color. Some brands include the hull, giving the flour a darker color and stronger flavor. I recommend using light buckwheat flour for a milder taste and lighter color.
