Buckwheat and Brown Rice Pancakes

Yes! I’ve finished my nutrition exam and assignments and have the whole summer free to relax and be creative! Finally I have time to make new recipes again! I started off by making these delicious buckwheat and brown rice pancakes. The buckwheat gives them a delicious nutty flavour. They are gluten free and make a tasty breakfast! I used a JML pancake pan to make my pancakes, but any pan would be suitable.

Buckwheat and Brown Rice Pancakes

Makes 12 pancakes.

Ingredients

  • 75g buckwheat flour
  • 75g brown rice flour
  • 1 tbsp almond butter
  • 1 tbsp flaxseed
  • 1 tbsp agave nectar
  • 500ml water
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 30g raisins
  • 1/2 lemon
  • 3 tsp peanut butter
  • 30g blueberries

Instructions

Weigh out the buckwheat flour and brown rice flour and pour into a large bowl. Add the other dry ingredients including the flaxseed, cinnamon and sea salt and mix in with a wooden spoon. Now make an indent in the middle of the flour. Put in the wet ingredients including the almond butter, agave nectar and water. Now mix well with the wooden spoon until the mixture forms a smooth batter. Next add in the raisins and mix in.

Now heat a large pan over a low heat. Using a dessert spoon, drop 2 spoonfuls of the mixture onto the hot pan. Repeat 3 more times into the large pan until you have 4 medium sized pancakes forming.

Cook for about 2 minutes until there are bubbles throughout the surface and you can easily peel away the pancake from the pan. Flip over and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown. Pile the pancakes on top of each other on a plate.

Repeat this process 2 more times until all the batter has been used up.

Finally drizzle the pancakes with agave and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Delicious served with spoonfuls of peanut butter and blueberries.

Enjoy!

Add the almond milk, desiccated coconut, flaxseed, agave nectar and salt to the blender. Mix until it has formed a liquid batter.

Heat a small pan over a low heat. Pour in enough batter to form a medium sized pancake.

Cook for about 2 minutes until there are bubbles throughout the surface and you can easily peel away the pancake from the pan. Flip over and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown. Pile the pancakes on top of each other on a plate.

Add a fruit topping of your choice such as sliced banana, strawberries or raspberries. Drizzle with agave nectar.

Serve warm.
