Recipe Information
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
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then stir in the milk, vanilla extract, olive oil or melted butter, and sweetener if using.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat it with nonstick cooking spray.
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.
Flip the pancakes carefully with a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, reapplying cooking spray as needed.
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.
