The most simple pancakes you’ll ever make!! I use minimal nourishing ingredients to make these delicious fluffy pancakes…
Buckwheat is not a grain nor does it contain wheat despite the name buck”wheat” it is actually a fruit seed! Unlike starchy grains that spike blood sugar levels, buckwheat ranks very low on the glycimic scale, it reduces and stabilises blood sugar levels- great for diabetics. Buckwheat is also a great source of magnesium and contains more protein then grains.
Bananas are high in potassium and low in salt, which help lower blood pressure and protect against heart attack and stroke. Bananas are high in fiber and also act as a probiotic, stimulating healthy bacteria in the bowel.

Hi Tiana! Lovely recipe, would like to do it but was wondering if you could tell me how to get backwheat meal from the buckwheat grains I already bought. I understand that just by blending them on my vitamix would be ok, but first should I soak the groats in water for some time?
Many thanks in advanced!
Hi Tini! Do not soak the grains first as it won’t turn into a flour because it will be wet. If you did want to soak them you will have to dry them completely after 🙂 hope this helps! Tiana X
Tks!!! Will do that! Your blog is awesome 🙂
Aww thank you so much xx
Hi tiana,
These look delicious but I can’t have bananas is there anything else I could replace with?
Thanks
Hi Mel!! Mmm I’m not sure as it holds it all together … you could try apple sauce maybe but l haven’t tried so not sure if it will turn out! Hope this helps xx
