Buckwheat Banana Pancakes

• 1 cup buckwheat flour
• 1 ripe, mashed banana
• 2 large eggs
• 3/4 cup whole milk
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tbsp butter (for the pan)

Instructions

1. Whisk the buckwheat flour, baking powder, and cinnamon in a bowl.
2. In a second bowl, mash the banana and whisk in the eggs and milk.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until combined — a few lumps are fine.
4. Melt a little butter in a skillet over medium heat. Pour in 1/4-cup portions of batter.
5. Cook 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on top, then flip and cook 1–2 minutes more.
6. Serve with extra banana, berries, or a drizzle of maple syrup.

Tips

• Buckwheat is not wheat — despite the name, it is a naturally gluten-free seed.
• Let the batter rest 5 minutes before cooking for fluffier pancakes.
