Servings: 8-10 pancakes
Ingredients:
For the Pancakes:
- 1 cup buckwheat flour
- 2 ripe and mashed bananas
- 1/2 cup milk (either regular or a dairy-free alternative like almond, oat, or soy milk)
- 3 tablespoons milkmaid
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions:
- Prepare Dry Mix: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Wet Mix: In a separate bowl, combine the mashed bananas, milk, milkmaid, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Combine Wet & Dry Ingredients: Gently pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Stir until just combined, making sure not to overmix. It’s okay if there are a few lumps.
- Cook the Pancakes: Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add a small dab of butter or a splash of oil to lightly grease the surface. Once hot, pour a ladleful of the pancake batter onto the skillet, forming a circle.
- Flip and Brown: Allow the pancake to cook until bubbles form on the surface (2-3 minutes). Carefully flip the pancake over using a spatula and cook the other side until it’s golden brown and the pancake is cooked through (another 2-3 minutes).
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the pancake from the skillet and place it on a serving plate. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve the pancakes warm, topped with extra honey or maple syrup, fresh fruits, or any other favorite toppings.
These pancakes offer a delightful texture and a depth of flavor, thanks to the combination of ripe bananas and buckwheat flour. It’s the perfect breakfast treat for both regular days and special occasions. Enjoy your meal!
