The Best Buckwheat Pancakes You’ve Ever Had! Vegan And Gluten-Free

I love pancakes. In fact, they are one of my favorite breakfast foods. So when I went vegan and then gluten free I tried a number of store-bought pancake mixes. But none of them gave me that fluffy delicious pancake fix I was looking for. So I went in search of the perfect vegan, gluten-free pancake recipe and discovered the key: Buckwheat flour. It’s hearty and nutritious, but not overpowering or dense.

This recipe is easy to make and positively delicious. Oh, and did I mention it is also free from refined sugar and soy, I’ve made this recipe with family and friends alike and they all agreed these pancakes are fluffy, scrumptious and easy to make!

1. Mix the applesauce, milk and vanilla together (I usually use a 2 cup glass measuring cup, measure out 1/4 cup applesauce and then fill the rest of the cup with almond milk) and then top it off with vanilla.

Turn your pan or griddle on to medium/medium high heat depending on your stove. Once you can feel heat radiating from the pan, put a small amount of cooking oil (coconut, sunflower etc.) on the surface of the pan and spoon a 1/4- 1/2 cup of batter into the pan. I often cook 2-3 pancakes at a time.

You will know the pancake is ready to flip when the bubbles that form in the cooking batter pop and do not fill back in again. Once you flip your pancake, cook it until the second side is browned and the pancake is firm, but still fluffy to the touch. As the griddle or pan continue to heat you may have to turn it down or risk burning your second batch of pancakes. 4. This recipe is wonderful topped with peanut butter and syrup, fresh fruit or jam!
