Ingredients

• 1 cup Buckwheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 0.75 cup Low-fat milk or unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil or melted unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Stevia or any sugar-free sweetener (optional)
• 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then stir in the milk, vanilla extract, olive oil or melted butter, and sweetener if using.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.

Step 4

Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat it with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 5

Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles start forming on the surface and the edges look set.

Step 6

Flip the pancakes carefully with a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, reapplying cooking spray as needed.

Step 8

Serve warm with your choice of South Beach Phase 2-friendly toppings, such as Greek yogurt, a handful of fresh berries, or a drizzle of sugar-free syrup.
