Banana and pecan buckwheat pancakes

February 20, 2014 by admin Leave a Comment

I have to admit I have never been particularly American with my breakfast choices and Sunday morning pancakes was never very high on my agenda in fact baking and general cooking of sweet things was never really my thing I tend to be much more of a savoury breakfast fan. However after playing around with ingredients for this blog I have to admit I am fast becoming a convert. So here goes, breakfast the ‘American way’, but free from gluten, dairy and sugar yet really delicious!

Buckwheat flour has a strong slightly nutty flavour, it can sometimes be a bit too powerful but with the banana and pecan butter it works perfectly in this recipe providing a great depth of flavour.

These pancakes are best eaten straight away.
