Once upon a time, thinking of eating pancakes that were gluten-free, vegan, milk-free, and sugar-free was like daydreaming lol! But things have moved us to new adventures and gluten-free buckwheat groats pancakes are like a signature of that move…

Plantain, buckwheat & cinnamon

I salute the technology that has simplified life for us. Without the internet we wouldn't be communicating here.

With me sharing with you this simple yet very healthy buckwheat pancakes recipe. Without a good blender, my buckwheat groats pancakes would still be a daydream.

How to Make Your Buckwheat Groats Pancakes

These buckwheat pancakes are so easy to make, you don't need store-bought flour, which I used to find quite bitter!

All you need is to soak your buckwheat groats for at least 30 mins, you can also soak them overnight. You rinse your groats before soaking them.

Soaked buckwheat groats become glutinous, you don't need to rinse them again, blend them in a high-speed blender with the soaking water.

I always prefer banana plantains to yellow bananas when making my gluten-free pancakes. Go ahead and use bananas if you can't put your hands on plantains.

You can add milk of your choice, coconut milk adds that nutty flavor and makes the buckwheat pancakes fluffy and delicious.

I just wanted this buckwheat pancakes recipe to be easy and simple, with very few and budget-friendly ingredients, from here you can twist it to your liking.

I used cinnamon to spice up these buckwheat pancakes. And I love freshly ground cinnamon, it's mind-blowing! But in this recipe, I wanted to try something new. Soaking the cinnamon stick in with the buckwheat groats!

Break the cinnamon stick, you can use a hammer to do this. Then add the chunks of cinnamon stick in the soaking buckwheat groat especially when soaking overnight.

How to Serve Your Gluten-Free Buckwheat Groats Pancakes

This way the cinnamon will infuse into buckwheat groats. I can promise you, this makes the buckwheat pancakes so sweet.

Enrich your morning breakfast with this buckwheat pancakes recipe.

While you can enjoy these gluten-free buckwheat pancakes on their own, you can top them with any fruits of your choice. I made you some rhubarb chutney. I'll be posting the recipe soon…

Ideally, serve these gluten-free buckwheat pancakes while still hot. They are so so yummy. After cooling down the texture hardens quite a bit.

Notes

I made these buckwheat groats with both water and yogurt. Both are as sweet.
If you soak your buckwheat for a short time, there will be no need to add extra water before blending. In long soaking, the groats absorb the water.
Depending on your serving spoon, you might get more or less the number of pancakes.
Your level of heat will determine the time of cooking, and again the source of heat matters too.
Buckwheat pancakes are soft when warm, they dry out after, fold the remaining with a kitchen cloth or in an airtight container. 
You can store the buckwheat pancakes in the fridge for 4-5 days.

    Absolutely love your idea for buckwheat groats pancakes. They take a bit of prep work, but its a great alternative to the flour based pancakes that I'm used to. Thanks for sharing this.

      Hi David, thank you for your visit, oh! you can skip the soaking and just let the batter to sit for about 10 mins, but soaking softens the groats... and you're right, groats are a good alternative, here in France the buckwheat flour is much pricy than the groats.
      Lovely week David, and lots of good things on your way.

    I have made these a few times, and they are delicious! The only thing, for some reason, the middle doesn't quite cook through sometimes. Any ideas as to why? I've tried more liquid, and they're pretty thin already...

      Hi Gina, thank you for trying this recipe. I am sorry that you are having some issues with cooking. Have you tried regulating the heat? High heat might lead to that. The other thing you can try is, when you pour the batter on the pan, spread the center a little to bring it at the same level as the rest parts. Please, could you let me know if this works for you? Once again thank you, this will help me improve this recipe. Many blessings.
