Today is "National Pancake Day", and that information made me realize that I'd never shared my Banana Buckwheat Pancakes recipe here on the blog!
This is one of the recipes from my first gluten-free cookbook, Beyond Flour: A Fresh Approach to Gluten-Free Cooking and Baking.
Can you believe that it's been four and a half years since that one came out? Wild. Time really flies!
Much like with most of my muffin recipes, I like to add fruit in the batter to add flavour, nutrition, and moisture to my pancakes.
This is a really fantastic recipe - quick and easy, has a lot of flavour payoff and a great texture ... without being obnoxious.
Combined with fresh blueberry sauce, banana buckwheat pancakes are a fantastic meal to start the day off with - whether you're normally gluten-free or not!
Homemade Blueberry Pancake Sauce
1 (12 oz) pack frozen blueberries
1 cup Granulated sugar
½ teaspoon Salt
¼ cup Water
Zest of one orange
Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring
constantly. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes or until
thickened.
* For a more "adult" variation, substitute Amaretto for the water!

Banana Buckwheat Pancakes
Ingredients
- ⅔ Cup Light Buckwheat Flour
- ⅓ Cup Sorghum Flour
- ¼ Cup Brown Sugar Packed
- 1 ½ teaspoon Baking Powder
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ¾ Cup Buttermilk*
- 2 Large Bananas Mashed
- ½ teaspoon Vanilla
- 1 Large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine flours, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In blender, process buttermilk, banana, vanilla, egg, and oil until smooth. Pour into dry ingredients. Lightly stir, just until combined – do not over beat it!
- Lightly oil your griddle or frying pan, preheat over medium or medium-low heat. Scoop ¼ cup(50 ml) amounts of batter onto the griddle. Gently spread batter out into a larger circle, about 4 – 4.5″ in diameter.
- Cook until bubbles start popping through top surface. Flip, cook until done.
- Serve with blueberry syrup… maybe with whipped cream, and a sprinkling of nutmeg!
