Buckwheat is a gluten free seed (not grain!) that’s a great source of B vitamins, which are essential for mood boosting hormones, as well as easing stress and anxiety. The cacao nibs sprinkled on top are another boost of nutrients in the form of magnesium!
Ingredients for Pancakes
- 1 cup buckwheat flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking soda
- Pinch of himalayan pink sea salt
- 1 cup plant-based milk of choice
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 flax egg (1 tbsp flaxseed + 3 tbsp water – let sit mixed for 5 mins)
Ingredients for Toppings
- 1 tbsp almond butter
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp melted coconut oil
- + Goji berries + cacao nibs + nobó of choice
Method :
- In a bowl mix the dry ingredients together and in a second bowl mix the wet ingredients.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix all together.
- Take a little coconut oil on a paper towel and rub onto a frying pan over low-medium heat.
- Take a tablespoon of the mixture and spoon onto the pan. You may want to add a second tablespoon, depending on how big you want your pancakes. Spread the mixture out so it’s about 1 cm thick.
- Let the pancake sizzle away until the sides start to peel up with a spatula, then flip over and cook for another minute or so.
- For the almond butter topping mix the almond butter, honey and coconut oil in a bowl and drizzle on top. Sprinkle the goji berries and cacao nibs on top.
- Serve with nobo.
Enjoy!
