Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Whisk Egg

    In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg until frothy.

  2. Combine Dry Ingredients:

    In a large bowl, sift together buckwheat flour, baking powder, and salt.

  3. Add Wet Ingredients

    Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the beaten egg, almond milk, melted butter (or coconut oil), agave syrup (or alternative sweetener), and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined. The batter should be thick but pourable. If it's too thick, add a little more almond milk.

  4. Heat the Pan

    Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of butter or oil.

  5. Cook Pancakes

    Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the pan. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until browned on the other side, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  6. Serve Warm

    Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of diabetic-friendly toppings like fresh berries, a drizzle of diabetic-friendly syrup, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

  7. Enjoy

Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?

Yes, this recipe is naturally gluten-free as it uses buckwheat flour, which is a gluten-free grain. However, ensure that your buckwheat flour and other ingredients are certified gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination if you have celiac disease or a gluten sensitivity.

Is this recipe suitable for diabetics?

Yes, this recipe is diabetic-friendly. Buckwheat flour has a low glycemic index, and using a diabetic-friendly sweetener instead of regular sugar helps manage blood sugar levels. However, individual responses can vary, so it's recommended to monitor blood sugar and portion sizes accordingly.

Can I substitute the almond milk with another type of milk?

Absolutely! You can use any plant-based milk like soy, oat, or cashew milk as a substitute for almond milk. If you're not following a vegan diet, regular cow's milk can also be used.

How can I store leftover pancakes?

Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen, separated by wax paper, and stored in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2 months. Reheat in a toaster, oven, or microwave before serving.

Are there any variations I can make to this recipe?

Certainly! You can add variations like blueberries or chocolate chips to the batter. For a different flavor, try adding cinnamon or nutmeg. For a heartier pancake, you might add chopped nuts or seeds to the batter.
