The possibilities for cute shapes are endless! The first two photos show the batter made with optional cacao. Reindeer, Mickey Mouse, fish and dinosaur 🦖 shaped pancakes or waffles:
I tweak the recipe sometimes but this is usually what I use:
- 1 1/2 cups buckwheat flour
- 1/2 cup gluten-free flour (such as almond) or carob or cacao powder* (I use Navitas; the lowest lead option I have found: https://amzn.to/3N0WOCG Amazon associates links). See link below for more info.
- 1 tsp coconut flour (add more if batter is too runny)
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons salt (see my low lead salt guide).
- 1 1/2 cups water or plant milk
- 2 eggs OR chia or flax eggs (Each egg is 1 tblsp chia seeds to 3 tblsp water and soak for a while)
- 6 tablespoons coconut or avocado oil (extra-virgin, cold-pressed if available)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (make sure it’s pure; imitation varieties can contain gluten)
- 5 teaspoons monkfruit powder: https://amzn.to/47p0xCb and why I use this sweetener
Add buckwheat and water/ milk to a mixing bowl and combine so that the buckwheat can start absorbing the water. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix.
Let the batter sit for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the buckwheat to absorb the liquid slightly (don’t skip this step; it will create lighter, fluffier pancakes than if you rush through this).
Pour batter onto a preheated, greased pan. Flip when they start to bubble, and remove soon after flipping (don’t overcook them).
To use as waffle batter, keep the batter on the thicker side. This is the waffle maker I use that is free of heavy metals: https://amzn.to/42JRxWE
