There’s something so satisfying about a tall stack of fluffy pancakes. It can be daunting to attempt them yourself, especially if you’re trying to make them vegan AND gluten-free, but these Buckwheat Banana Pancakes couldn’t be easier to make!
While its name may misleadingly suggest otherwise, buckwheat is not a wheat and does not contain gluten. Rather, it is a seed making it naturally gluten-free. A good source of fibre, minerals and various plant compounds, buckwheat also has many health benefits such as helping moderate blood sugar levels and improve heart health.
