Cinnamon Buckwheat Pancakes

Being gluten-free, you tend to miss out on tasty foods like donuts, pizzas, pastries, cakes and of course pancakes. Everything that is deliciously doughy is a big no for us gluten-free-ers. Although I can guarantee that these gluten-free pancakes taste just as good, if not better. 

I like to treat myself to something like this on a Sunday. You can top the pancakes with what ever you would like. My favourite is coconut oil fried bananas with grilled crispy bacon and a drizzle of honey.  But just adding fresh fruit or some nut butter works just as well.

These pancakes are both gluten-free and dairy-free, so enjoy!

You will need:

One cup of Buckwheat Flour (Most health food shops sell this)

One teaspoon of Baking Powder

One teaspoon of Bicarbonate of Soda

1/4 teaspoon of Salt 

One cup of Dairy-Free Milk (I used Rice Milk)

One Organic Free-Range Egg

Half a teaspoon of Vanilla Essence

Half a teaspoon of Cinnamon Powder 

Firstly put the flour and the rest of the dry ingredients in a large bowl together. Then make sure that everything is mixed evenly.

In a separate smaller bowl, add the dairy-free milk, the egg and the vanilla essence. Whisk all these ingredients together until they are mixed.

Pour the wet ingredients in with the flour mix and whisk. Finally, add the cinnamon powder and give all the ingredients a last whisk together.

You should start to see little bubbles in the top of the mixture, this means that the baking powder and soda are working. This creates the light fluffy batter that makes the pancakes cook and taste so good.

In a small non-stick pan, heat some coconut oil up. To test the pan is hot enough, drop a teeny amount of the mixture and see if it cooks.

When the pan is hot enough, pour a small amount of mixture in and let the first side cook. When you see bubbles popping, this is when you can flip the pancake over. Wait a few seconds, and then your gluten-free buckwheat pancake is ready.

Make as many as you would like, stack them high, and top them with tasty things!
