I love pancakes. I never used to be a big fan of them, but after going gluten-free, I’ve eaten many a pancake. 
They are especially a highlight when we go camping. I would throw a handful of chocolate chips in the batter before frying them up, and tell the kids that we had chocolate ants in our pancakes. They loved it. Even now, when there are no ants around, they ask if we are having ants in our pancakes. Too cute.
I found these pancakes to be a wee bit heavy, but that’s what I expected from buckwheat flour. It was like having a pancake made with whole wheat flour compared to all-purpose. The flavour was really great as well. Delicious!
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup buckwheat flour
- 1/2 cup rice flour
- 1/4 cup tapioca starch
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
Directions:
- Mix dry ingredients together in a bowl. In another, smaller bowl, beat eggs lightly and add the oil and buttermilk; add egg/oil/milk mixture to dry ingredients. Stir to blend well.
- Pour batter onto hot, lightly greased griddle. Cook until bubbles appear; flip and continue until golden brown.
- Serve with your favorite syrup (maple, blueberry, etc).
Makes approximately 16 medium size pancakes.

mmm, pancakes !
Jeanine..mmm-mm I love pancakes..haven’t tried buckwheat pancakes though. I’d probably like it as I like buckwheat honey.
I recently bought a package of buckwheat flour to use for pancakes. I haven’t made them yet, but yours look great! I’ll try your recipe, but maybe use more starch to lighten them a bit. Thanks!
WOW! I thought we had a rough week with just loosing the hydro, at least we were all well! Really glad to have electricity back in our lives.
We had these for dinner tonight! They were a big hit. I think I will be using this recipe from now on. Thank you so much for posting it.
I love having breakfast for supper, glad to hear I'm not alone in that.
Thanks for letting me know that you liked the recipe, I appreciate it!
Jeanine, where do you find gf buckwheat flour? Bulk Barn has the flour but doesn't certify it to be gf.
@Debbie Sandland, Our local health food store carries some (at the time they did), and I have used the stuff from Bulk Barn as well, without a problem. Buckwheat isn't something I normally stock though.
