Blender Buckwheat Pancakes

Made with buckwheat groats, these gluten-free buckwheat pancakes are easy to make and good for you. Just add everything to a blender, buzz it up, pour it onto a griddle, flip, and enjoy!

This blender buckwheat pancake is a great way to start the day with some whole grains, protein, and fiber. Not only can these pancakes be made in the morning, but they freeze incredibly well so they are a great breakfast for busy mornings for adults and kids alike.

What are Buckwheat Pancakes?

Although often considered a grain, buckwheat is technically a pseudocereal, which are seeds that are consumed as cereals but don’t grow on grass. Buckwheat pancakes are, therefore, pancakes made out of this pseudocereal and can be made using the whole grain or flour version of buckwheat. Buckwheat groats are the hulled seeds of the buckwheat plant and have a mild texture and grassy flavor, making buckwheat ideal for savory and sweet crepe or pancake recipes. Because buckwheat is gluten-free, it is a great alternative to wheat flour for making gluten-free pancakes.

Are Buckwheat Pancakes Healthy?

Buckwheat is a form of complex carbohydrate, a source of fiber, and also contains some protein. A 100-gram serving (roughly 2/3 cup) of buckwheat groats contains 343 calories, 10 grams of fiber, and 13 grams of protein. (1)

This buckwheat pancake recipe actually works well as a sweet or savory dish. Although I served my recipe with fresh strawberries, yogurt, and maple syrup, these buckwheat pancakes would also pair well with savory ingredients such as eggs, cheese, or vegetables.

Instructions

1. The night before; add buckwheat groats to a bowl with two cups of room temperature water and allow to soak on the counter overnight.
