Buckwheat Pancakes

Freshly ground buckwheat and chia seeds make up the base of these pancakes. A Vita-Mix blender is the best tool for making your own ground flours. These whole food ingredients provide valuable fiber for clearing and cleansing your digestive tract. They will feed your body and power it up for the day.

You can adjust the texture and quality of the pancakes by adjusting the amount of water. A thick batter will make thick hearty pancakes. Adding more water will make thinner, more flexible pancakes.

There are a lot of delicious ways to eat buckwheat pancakes. Top them with coconut oil and 100% grade B maple syrup. Grade B maple syrup is less refined than grade A and therefore retains more rich vitamins and minerals. All-fruit jelly and tahini is another great topping. Almond butter and just a touch of agave nectar are delicious as well. And, of course, fresh berries in season are always awesome on top of pancakes.

Ingredients:

(use organic whenever possible)

2 cups buckwheat groats

1/2 cup rice flour

1 teaspoon chia seeds

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1 tablespoon maple syrup

3 cups water or more for desired consistency

Coconut oil for skillet

100% grade B maple syrup to top 'em off

1. Grind buckwheat groats in a food processor or blender until they turn into flour. Vita-Mix blenders are great for this but your regular blender may do the trick, as well.
2. Grind chia seeds into a fine powder using a clean coffee or spice grinder.
3. Combine all dry ingredients
4. Add wet ingredients and stir until smooth. The batter should be somewhat thin like regular pancake batter.
5. Heat skillet well. Melt coconut oil in the skillet and pour batter in as you normally would to make pancakes.
