Blueberry Banana Buckwheat Pancakes
These Blueberry Banana Buckwheat Pancakes are light and fluffy and loaded with fruit. Your entire family with love them!!
These buckwheat pancakes are light and fluffy – and the bottom sides are bumpy with fruit. Ive made these Blueberry Banana Buckwheat Pancakes 3 times in the past 2 weeks. Twice for dessert.
When I was growing up my mom would make buckwheat pancakes on Saturday mornings for my dad because he loved them. I wasn’t altogether overly fond of the distinct flavor of the buckwheat flour back then, but…now, I really love a plateful of healthy buckwheat pancakes. Especially after reading how beneficial eating buckwheat is. Buckwheat isn’t a cereal grain …it’s actually a fruit seed that is related to rhubarb and sorrel, so its gluten-free. It’s also good for cardio health…it regulates blood sugar, and it’s a good source of fiber.
