Good morning! Sundays are my favorite day for many reasons – but most especially because it is the one morning where I get to sleep in and have a slow start to the day. The cooler fall mornings inspire me to cook a larger breakfast and this morning I felt like pancakes! Yes, we are still rotating our diet so it could not just be any pancakes, it had to be 100% buckwheat pancakes. I pulled out my Vitamix so that I could start with grinding my buckwheat groats into flour. I may have said this before, but I have become very fond of the buckwheat flour that I grind from the raw buckwheat groats. It is not as strong in smell or flavor as the toasted buckwheat flour, and I like it. My husband is not a buckwheat fan, but these pancakes went down pretty easily.
I have also become very fond of the buckwheat and almond meal combination in cooking. It seems to work out really well. The almond meal cuts the strong flavor of the buckwheat and adds some extra protein. Here is the recipe that I used:
1 1/2 cup buckwheat flour
1/2 cup almond meal
2 teaspoon baking powder
4 tablespoons maple syrup
salt
4 tablespoons arrowroot flour
1/2 cup water
2 cup almond milk
4 tablespoons almond oil
They were quite tasty! I topped them with bananas and sliced almonds and then drizzled maple syrup all over it! Now that is what I call a Sunday morning breakfast!
