Fluffy Buckwheat Pancakes: A Healthy and Delicious Breakfast Option
Good morning, foodies! Today, I’m sharing a recipe that will make your mornings extra special: fluffy buckwheat pancakes. These pancakes are not only delicious but also packed with nutrients, making them a great choice for a healthy breakfast.
Buckwheat is a powerhouse grain that is high in fiber, protein, and essential minerals. It gives these pancakes a unique nutty flavor and a light, fluffy texture that will leave you feeling satisfied. Plus, they’re easy to make and can be customized with your favorite toppings.
Here’s what you need to do:
- In a bowl, combine 1 cup buckwheat flour, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1 tbsp sugar.
- In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, 1/4 cup applesauce, 1 egg, and 1 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix, or your pancakes will be tough.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Pour or scoop 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet and cook until the edges are set and bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more cooking spray as needed.
Top your fluffy buckwheat pancakes with fresh berries, maple syrup, almond butter, or whatever toppings you like. They’re also great on their own or with a side of scrambled eggs or turkey bacon.
Not only are these pancakes a treat for your taste buds, but they’re also a guilt-free breakfast option. Buckwheat is known to aid in digestion and provide sustained energy, so you’ll be fueled up for the day ahead.
