Rinse the buckwheat and place in the blender with water or nut/seed milk, coconut oil, flax seed, dates, coconut sugar, and sea salt.
Blend on high until you have a smooth, pourable batter.
Preheat a cast iron (preferable) or other skillet to medium heat (3).
Add the baking powder and stir well or blend on low to combine.
Add the vinegar and stir to combine.
Pour batter, about 2 Tablespoons at a time, onto preheated skillet.
It’s best to turn the heat down just a bit and cook these pancakes a little longer on the first side, so cook them until you can see that they are mostly cooked through, then flip and cook until lightly browned on the second side. If they get too browned on the first side, turn the heat down a bit more.
Serve with cooked fruit, blended berries thickened with chia seeds, nut cream, coconut cream, chopped nuts, toasted coconut, or whatever your heart desires!
Ideas for flavoring:
vanilla, for sure
a dash of molasses, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves for gingerbread pancakes
grated orange rind, ginger, and poppy seeds
cardamom and fresh ginger, plus a little black pepper and a dash of cloves for chai-spiced pancakes
too many delicious toppings to list!
(1) Buckwheat groats are whole, hulled, raw buckwheat kernals. As opposed to kasha, which is roasted buckwheat and therefore very dark and strong in flavor, buckwheat groats are light green and somewhat mild in flavor. Since they are raw, they will sprout.
(2) Fully saturating a seed, which is what any grain, bean, nut, or what we call a seed actually is, begins the sprouting process. So, once you have soaked your buckwheat groats overnight, they will have started to sprout. If you want them to grow tails, put them in a strainer and rinse them well, then let them sit in the strainer until a little tail starts poking out the pointy part of the buckwheat. This will take another 12 hours more or less, depending on the heat in your kitchen. You can rinse them once in a while throughout the day, then give them a shake to let the excess water out. Just be sure to put them over a bowl or tray to catch any drips. For more information on sprouting, see this post on my original recipe site.
