These light and fluffy buckwheat pancakes are naturally sweetened with banana and scented with cinnamon and nutmeg. The ultimate weekend breakfast recipe!
One of my favorite ways for getting ahead before a busy week is whipping up a hearty pancake breakfast on the weekend. Since pancakes are freezer friendly, I always double the batch to have breakfast ready to go later in the week.
Since we do eat pancakes a bit more frequently, I try to make them as healthy as possible. For me, that means a couple things. First, I always use a whole grain flour such as buckwheat flour which is packed with protein, fiber and nutrients.
Second, I don’t add in any white sugar to sweeten the pancakes. Instead, I stir in a mashed, ripe banana that sweetens the stack naturally. Of course, you’re still more than welcome to drizzle with pure maple syrup but they are tasty on their own.
When reheating from the freezer, I like to toast them in the toaster then spread on a little natural peanut butter. The topping options are limitless.
Your fork is waiting.
Banana Buckwheat Pancakes
Ingredients
Instructions
- Pre-heat nonstick griddle over medium-high heat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all ingredients (pancake mix through salt.) If the batter seems too thick, add a little more milk or water.
- Pour batter on hot griddle, working 1/2 cup at a time. Cook until pancakes are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on the first side and 1-2 minutes on the second side. Serve with maple syrup, butter and additional banana slices if you wish.
