Soft Buckwheat Vanilla Pancakes

Today I am sharing my recipe for Soft Buckwheat Vanilla Pancakes, that are fluffy, moist and speckled with vanilla.  This recipe uses buckwheat flour, baking powder, sugar, eggs, vanilla paste and coconut milk and is a gluten and dairy-free recipe.

All props featured here are from my new shop – click to buy. 

What is Buckwheat?

Buckwheat flour has a low GI and you can add a little of it to almost any recipe that calls for regular flour.

It is gluten-free and a good source of calcium and protein.

The flavour is rich and nutty and is darker in appearance than normal flour.

Vanilla Paste

I wanted to make these pancakes super vanillery (is that a word?) so I used vanilla paste instead of extract, which I got from Mauritius.

If you do not have vanilla paste, you can buy online (Faithful to Nature stocks) or you can use vanilla extract.

Enjoy,

Cat
