Ingredients

• 1 cup Buckwheat flour
• 1 cup All-purpose gluten-free flour (or regular flour, if not gluten-free)
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter or coconut oil (melted)
• 1 as needed Additional butter or oil (for greasing the pan)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the buckwheat flour, gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until evenly combined.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter (or coconut oil).

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are okay.

Step 4

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil.

Step 5

For each pancake, pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread the batter into a circle if necessary.

Step 6

Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until both sides are golden brown.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.

Step 8

Serve the pancakes warm, topped with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of yogurt. Enjoy!
