Welcome, food aficionados! Today, I have a new recipe that will definitely tantalize your taste buds – Vegan, Gluten-Free Buckwheat Pancakes! This dish is perfect for anyone who wants a delicious breakfast without any animal products. By using vegan ingredients and buckwheat flour, these pancakes are not only healthy but also environmentally friendly.

Why settle for conventional pancakes when you can enjoy nutritious and savory buckwheat pancakes? Although buckwheat is technically a “grain,” it contains no gluten and is an excellent alternative for people with gluten intolerance. Despite its name, buckwheat is not related to wheat; it’s actually a seed with many health benefits. Unlike wheat flour, which can cause digestion issues in some individuals, buckwheat flour digests easily and provides essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals.

Moreover, the recipe contains cinnamon powder and vanilla extract that give the pancakes a lovely fragrance that will attract your family members to the kitchen. If you crave variety, you can add fruits like blueberries or bananas to the recipe to create delightful fruit-filled pancakes. These pancakes are served warm and drizzled with pure maple syrup – so you don’t have to compromise on taste or health!

Without further ado, let’s dive into this vegan gluten-free buckwheat pancake recipe that will transport you to a whole new flavorful world!

Buckwheat Flour is the star of the show in these Vegan, Gluten-Free Buckwheat Pancakes. Here’s how to make this recipe:

Ingredients:

1 cup buckwheat flour
1 tbsp ground flax seeds
2 tbsp tapioca flour
2 tbsp cornflour
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk (such as soymilk or almond milk)
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
Water as needed

Instructions

In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the buckwheat flour, flax seeds, tapioca flour, cornflour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Add the non-dairy milk, apple cider vinegar, canola oil, and pure maple syrup to the bowl and stir gently until well combined.
If the batter seems too thick, add water gradually until you reach the desired consistency.
Preheat a pan over medium heat.
Once hot, use a ladle or measuring cup to pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the pan.
Cook for approximately two minutes on each side until golden brown.
Repeat with remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes warm with additional pure maple syrup or your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit or vegan butter.

Note: These pancakes are meant to be on the thicker side versus thin and crepe-like which is why you won’t see large bubbles rise like traditional pancakes. Aim for smaller air holes instead which leads to fluffier pancakes. Also make sure not to overmix or your pancakes will come out dense.

Substitutions and Variations

Who says pancakes can't be healthy? These vegan and gluten-free buckwheat pancakes are a guilt-free treat! — Who says pancakes can’t be healthy? These vegan and gluten-free buckwheat pancakes are a guilt-free treat!

As a vegan chef, I understand the importance of accommodating different dietary needs and preferences. Luckily, this buckwheat pancake recipe can easily be modified to cater to various tastes and preferences without compromising on flavor and texture.

For those who prefer a sweeter taste, you can add some mashed bananas or blueberries to the batter. This will add some natural sweetness and give your pancakes an extra boost of flavor. Alternatively, you can swap out the pure maple syrup for another natural sweetener such as agave nectar or honey (if you’re not vegan).

If you’re avoiding gluten, you’ll be happy to know that this recipe is already gluten-free. However, feel free to try substituting the buckwheat flour with sorghum flour, gluten-free pancake mix or any whole grain flour that meets your dietary requirements.

If you don’t have almond milk or soy milk on hand, you can easily swap these out for other non-dairy alternatives such as coconut milk or oat milk. Whatever non-dairy milk you choose will impart its own unique flavor to the pancakes.

For a fluffier texture, try adding some apple cider vinegar or lemon juice to the non-dairy milk alternative before mixing in with the dry ingredients. The acid in the vinegar and lemon juice reacts with the baking powder resulting in a light and fluffy texture.

Finally, for a protein boost, add some protein powder to the batter. You can also replace water with more protein-rich ingredients like chocolate-flavored almond milk or juice.

Remember that cooking is all about experimenting and trying new things until you find what works best for you. Don’t be afraid to play around with different substitutions and variations until you get it just right!

Serving and Pairing

Buckwheat flour adds a subtle nuttiness to the pancakes, making them truly irresistible.

Just because these vegan, gluten-free buckwheat pancakes are a healthy breakfast doesn’t mean they have to be boring. In fact, this recipe opens up a world of creative possibilities when it comes to serving and pairing.

I love topping my buckwheat pancakes with fresh fruit like blueberries, strawberries, or sliced bananas. Drizzling pure maple syrup over the stack of fluffy pancakes ensures each bite is sweet and sticky. Sprinkle a touch of cinnamon on top for an extra layer of flavor.

If you’re feeling indulgent, add a dollop of vegan whipped cream or creamy coconut yogurt to your plate and watch as the flavors and textures weave together in an irresistible symphony.

For a salty-sweet twist, sauté some veggies like mushrooms, onions or peppers and place them on top of your pancakes. You can also add some crispy kale chips for added texture!

Pair these vegan buckwheat pancakes with a strong cup of coffee or herbal tea in the morning to kickstart your day. If serving for brunch, consider adding sides like tempeh bacon or scrambled tofu to make it hearty and satisfying.

There’s no end to the creative twists you can add to this pancake recipe when serving and pairing it with different ingredients – so go wild!

Make-Ahead, Storing and Reheating

Top your pancakes with your favorite fruits and syrup for a burst of flavor and texture.

As a breakfast enthusiast, nothing is quite as satisfying as having a delicious pancake breakfast ready within minutes, especially when you’re on a busy schedule. Thankfully, these vegan and gluten-free buckwheat pancakes can be made ahead of time without losing their delectable texture or flavor.

To make these pancakes the night before, prepare the batter as per the recipe instructions but do not mix in the baking powder. Store the batter in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge overnight. The morning after, whisk in the baking powder and add a little bit of milk or water to loosen up the consistency if required. Proceed with cooking your pancakes over medium heat for best results.

When it comes to storing your leftover pancakes, it’s important to store them properly to ensure that they maintain their taste and quality. Simply put them in an air-tight container once they have completely cooled down and store them in the freezer for later use. These can stay fresh for up to 2 months if kept frozen.

Reheating your pancakes is just as easy as cooking them originally. Simply take them out of the freezer and place them in your microwave, toaster oven, or oven at 375°F (190°C). Bake until heated through and enjoy!

One of my favorite suggestions for serving leftovers is by reheating them on a skillet with some coconut oil until crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. You can even add some vegan butter, nuts or fruit toppings to elevate their flavors further.

In conclusion, making ahead and storing leftover pancakes has never been easier with this hassle-free recipe that maintains its indulgent taste over time. Whether you’re enjoying them in a hurry or looking to treat yourself later on, these vegan gluten-free buckwheat pancakes will always have your back!

Tips for Perfect Results

To ensure you get the perfect fluffy and tender Vegan, Gluten-Free Buckwheat Pancakes every time, here are some expert tips to help you throughout the entire process!

First and foremost, always measure your ingredients accurately using a digital kitchen scale. I cannot stress this enough! Accurate measuring helps ensure that the pancake batter has the right texture, viscosity, and flavor.

It’s best to mix dry ingredients in a separate bowl before adding them to the wet ingredients. This step helps evenly disperse the baking powder, cinnamon, flax seeds and salt in the batter. Doing this helps avoid overtaxing your gluten-free flours and keeps the pancake batter’s consistency optimal.

Another important tip is to let the batter rest for at least 5-10 minutes before cooking. By resting the batter, it helps activate the baking powder and allows liquids to absorb fully into the flours. Plus, it creates more air bubbles in the pancake mixture which equals fluffier pancakes!

When it comes to cooking pancakes, make sure your pan or griddle is heated evenly at medium-high heat with canola oil sprayed instead of regular cooking spray as it can dry out pancakes. The amount of heat will depend on your stove top and how thick your cookware is.

Once heated correctly reduce heat to medium and scoop around 1/4-1/3 cups batter onto your hot pan or griddle. Don’t overcrowd your pan or griddle. Flip only once after bubbles appear and edges start to look dry.

Finally, try not to flatten pancakes with a spatula! No one likes flat pancakes! Let gravity do its thing while unflattened cakes retain their fluffy deliciousness.

I hope these tips help you achieve superb Vegan Gluten-Free Buckwheat Pancakes every time!
