Why These Gluten Free Buckwheat Pancakes Are Great:

• They are quick and easy to make.
• Buckwheat flour is more nutritious than plain gluten free flour blends.
• You can add any fruit to this easy pancake recipe.
• Freeze these gluten free buckwheat pancakes so you have a ready-made breakfast anytime!

Ingredient Notes:

• Buckwheat Flour - This gluten free grain makes a nutritious, flavorful flour that is fun to use.
• Gluten Free Flour Blend - You can use any gluten free flour blend in this recipe. It helps make the pancakes fluffy since buckwheat flour tends to be a lot denser.
• Xanthan Gum - If your gluten free flour blend doesn't have any binder like xanthan gum, add 1 teaspoon. Psyllium husk works well too.
• Baking Powder - Use aluminum-free baking powder.
• Non-Dairy Milk - I tend to use almond milk most often, but any non-dairy milk should work.
• Eggs - Size Large
• Coconut or Light Oil - I used coconut oil, but some people can't have coconut, so any light oil will work. Note, olive oil tends to be too strong of a flavor with the buckwheat so I would recommend not using that oil.

Recipe Step By Step Directions:

Step 1: Add your dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl and combine with a wooden spoon.

Step 2: In a medium bowl, add the wet ingredients. Use a wire whisk to whip the wet ingredients. Note if you are using coconut oil, soften the oil in the microwave, so it is not hard.

Step 3: Wash and chop your pears into small pieces on a wooden cutting board. You can also use apples if you prefer.

Step 4: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix.

Some gluten free flour blends are starchier than others, so feel free to add more non-dairy milk to thin out the gluten free pancake batter if needed.

Step 5: Preheat a non-stick skillet or a cast-iron skillet over medium heat on your stove. Add a little oil. When the pan is hot, use a scoop to pour pancake batter into the pan.

Step 6: Cook the pancakes until you see bubbles form and the pancakes lose the glossy sheen. Use a spatula to flip the pancakes to cook the other side.

Note: If the pancakes are dark, reduce the heat to medium-low.

Step 7: Serve the gluten free buckwheat pancakes hot with maple syrup and fresh fruit.

Check my gluten free pancake syrup list to ensure you use a gluten-free syrup.

This is definitely a special occasion stack of pancakes. The sweet pear flavor blends with the buckwheat to make a delicious stack of buckwheat flour pancakes. You may also love these gluten free cornmeal pancakes.
