Hi! Happy Sunday everyone! ❤

I meant to wake up early today for my morning jog and some aerobic exercise but I .. overslept. I woke up at 10am and made myself some Banana Buckwheat Pancakes instead.

Buckwheat is gluten-free and a great alternative to white flour, thanks to its lower glycemic index and high levels of iron, magnesium, protein (including essential amino acids) and fiber. It is a major anti-aging beauty food. Want to stay healthy and youthful looking? Have more buckwheat then! You can simply do so many things with it, which I will share it later in my blog as well. 🙂

Ingredients (for approximately 9 pcs of 5 inch pancakes):

• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 4 tsp white vinegar (distilled vinegar)
• 1 cup buckwheat flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1 banana
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 egg
• 1-1/2 tbsp (22g) melted unsalted butter or coconut oil
• 1 banana and some raspberries (toppings)

Method (for making the batter):

• Add white vinegar to almond milk and leave it aside for about 5 minutes
• In a separate bowl sieve flour, baking powder and baking soda together and add in the salt
• In another bowl, mash the banana with a fork and add in the almond milk mixture together with maple syrup, egg and melted butter
• Pour some of the liquid mixture into the dry mixture and mix it well.
• Continue this process until all the liquid mixture is mixed well with dry mixture

Method (for making the perfect pancakes):

• Slightly wet a kitchen towel and fold it into quarters
• Heat up the non-stick frying pan at high heat
• Before frying place the pan on top of the wet towel for approximately 5 seconds
• Return the pan to the stove and reduce the heat to medium
• Pour some of the batter into the pan (any size you preferred)
• After a lot of small bubbles form on top on the pancakes, flip it over and cook the other side for another 1 minute
• Remove the pancake from the pan
• Before making another pancake, place the pan on top of the wet towel again for another 5 seconds and repeat this process until all the pancakes are cooked
• Decorate the pancakes with any fruits you like and serve it with some maple syrup

There you have it. Delicious and healthy pancakes for breakfast!

Ok .. I am off for my evening jog now! 🙂
