Healthy Banana Buckwheat Pancakes
I moved into my new place exactly one week ago. Can you guess what I christened my new kitchen with? These Healthy Banana Buckwheat Pancakes, of course!
I got so caught up in the move-in process and getting all my new furniture built ASAP, that I didn’t realize how tired I was. Until I crashed. At 7pm. ON MY DAY OFF! By the way, that’s usually when I get ready for bed when I have an early shift at the bakery. I’m clearly digging the grandma lifestyle 😉
Anyways, after a nice long sleep I took a much-needed break. I cuddled with Cherry and finally got around to some “me time.”
When you’re exhausted, hungry and lazy, nothing seems as simple and comforting as Banana Pancakes. To me, “me time” means indulging while taking care of yourself and your body. So, I made Banana Pancakes that are good for you.
These Healthy Banana Buckwheat Pancakes are made with whole grain, naturally gluten-free buckwheat flour, and ripe, sweet bananas. They’ll comfort you with every bite!
Healthy Banana Buckwheat Pancakes
Ingredients
- 60g (½ cup) Buckwheat Flour
- 1 tsp Double Acting Baking Powder
- ½ tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 2 packets Natural Sweetener (stevia, Truvia, etc.)
- ⅛ tsp Salt
- ½ cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
- ½ cup Mashed Ripe Banana
Instructions
- Spray a flat, nonstick pan with cooking spray and place over medium heat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, sweetener and salt.
- Stir in the almond milk and mashed banana. Stir in the optional vanilla, walnuts and/or mini chocolate chips, if using.
- Scoop a large spoonful of batter onto the pan. Cook until the edges look dry and bubbles no longer pop on the surface. Flip and cook for an additional minute or so. Repeat until all the batter is used up. Serve and enjoy!

Now THAT’S what I call a healthy breakfast! Delicious Banana Pancakes that are also secretly low fat, high fiber, high protein, gluten free and vegan with no added sugar. BOOM.
I’ll take that stack please. And a big drizzle of pure maple syrup.
Up the ante and add some vanilla, crumbled walnuts and mini dark chocolate chips! Or just lay on the pure maple syrup like you want to run Canada dry. That’s what I do, and it’s delicious. NO REGRETS.
Enjoy!

I’ve been meaning to make buckwheat pancakes for sooooo long! These look amazing, love the bananas, walnuts, and that epic syrupy drizzle!
Hey Jessica, I am just wondering if the chocolate, almond milk and bananas are enough to cover the taste of buckwheat! I love all of the above except for that, but I am allergic to gluten so not much choice. xD Thank you!!
I honestly don’t have a problem with the taste of buckwheat. If you really don’t like it or can detect it from a mile away, then this recipe might not be for you 😉
This is a great recipe!
I make breakfast for dinner, including pancakes. So yes, I’m a pancake fiend. ancake Friday sounds like the best Friday.
My son and I loved these.. I substituted apple sauce for the oil and also added some fresh chopped peaches since they are in season. Wonderful, Thank you
