ingredients
These fluffy buckwheat pancakes are made from over-ripe mashed bananas, an egg, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and milk (I used almond milk).
For the dry ingredients, we are going to be using some buckwheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
The buttermilk reacts with the baking powder making the pancakes rise beautifully. It also helps keep the pancakes soft and fluffy.
how to make buckwheat banana pancakes
Combine the wet ingredients in a bowl ( egg, buttermilk, milk and vanilla extract).
Sieve in dry ingredients (buckwheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt).
Combine the dry and wet ingredients until you obtain a smooth batter.
Cook until bubbles form and the edges start to set, flip and cook the other side for about 3 minutes, until golden brown.
And that's it, you just made some fluffy and delicious buckwheat pancakes!

serving suggestions
In addition to serving these pancakes with maple syrup, honey or powdered sugar, I like to spruce things up a bit and serve them with some:
storing leftovers
Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for 5-7 days.
To freeze, lay out the pancakes individually in a parchment paper-lined baking tray. Once frozen, you can then transfer and store them in airtight bags.
