Yesterday morning I tried a new Buckwheat pancake mix for breakfast. I am used to Aunt Jemima pancakes, but they contain milk and eggs in the ingredients. Buckwheat is a gain-like seed from the family of sorrel, knotweed, and rhubarb. It is a starchy seed that is a great substitute for vegans and vegetarians everywhere. At the Health Nut store in Virginia Beach, I did buy buckwheat hot cereal. When prepared, it gives an oatmeal,cream of wheat consistency.
Now back to my breakfast. The pancakes actually came out very delicious. I used;
1 cup of the buckwheat pancake mixture
1/2 tsp of vanilla extract1 Tbsp of maple syrup
1/2 tsp of cinnamon
2 to 3 Tbsp of sugar
a pitch of salt
1/2 of a packet of instant apple cinnamon oatmeal
1 to 2 cups of Almond sweetened vanilla milk (depending on how think or thin you like your pancakes add more milk).
My family and I are masters of making pancakes, so I really just eyeballed the majority of the ingredients, so this is just taste and make sure you like the consistency you have created.
I mixed the above ingredients in a mixing bowl and fired up my pan. They bubble the same as regular pancake mix. The cool thing is, you can add anything to the batter (i.e. blueberries, strawberries, bananas, etc.). whatever you have in the house will go great with them. I just purchase this brand of buckwheat pancake mix at Walmart for very cheap, so don't worry you won't break the bank and you are being healthy :-)
