Ingredients

  • 1 cup buckwheat flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large ripe banana
  • 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add all of the ingredients but the dark chocolate chips to a blender and blend until smooth. Stir in the dark chocolate chips
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add enough olive oil or coconut oil to generously coat the surface (1 to 2 tablespoons). 
  3. Measure 1/8 cup (or a scant 1/4 cup) of the batter and pour onto the hot skillet. Cook until several bubbles rise to the top and the edges of the pancake begin to firm up, about 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until pancake is cooked through. Repeat for remaining batter (Note: I typically cook 3 pancakes at a time on a 12-inch skillet).
  4. Serve pancakes with fresh fruit and a drizzle of pure maple syrup or honey.
