Ingredients 

  • 1 ½ cups buckwheat flour
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cup whole milk

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and eggs. Once the mixture is homogeneous, whisk in the milk and vanilla.
  • Add the flour and baking soda to the mixing bowl. Gently fold the ingredients together until no pockets of flour remain in the batter.
  • Heat a medium sized pan over medium-high heat. Once the pan is heated, add a ⅓ cup of pancake batter and cook for about 1 ½ minutes per side, or until the pancakes are golden brown on both sides.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can store your leftover pancakes in the fridge for up to a week in a Ziploc bag or airtight container. Reheat your pancakes one or two at a time in the microwave for 45 seconds.
  • You can freeze your pancakes for up to 3 months. You will want to let your pancakes cool completely and then transfer them to a large Ziploc bag. Allow your pancakes to thaw in the fridge or on the counter before reheating them in the microwave for 45 seconds.
  • Top your pancakes with maple syrup, whipped cream, fresh berries, peanut butter, etc.
  • When you flip your pancake over, it is important to avoid pressing it down with your spatula. Doing so will prevent your pancakes from fluffing up as much as they can.
  • The vanilla helps bring out the sweetness in the pancakes, which helps balance the nutty flavor of the buckwheat.
  • You can replace the whole milk with 2% milk or your favorite dairy free alternative.
