🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 1 cup Buckwheat flour
• 3 tablespoons Cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Butter or coconut oil (melted)
• 0.33 cup Chocolate chips (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Butter or oil (for greasing the pan)

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: buckwheat flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix it with the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter or coconut oil.

3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.

4. If using chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter.

5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease lightly with butter or oil.

6. Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Spread the batter slightly with the back of a spoon if needed.

7. Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until cooked through.

8. Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.

9. Serve the pancakes warm, topped with your choice of syrup, fresh fruit, or an extra sprinkle of chocolate chips.
