In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk the almond milk, eggs, and vanilla extract together until the eggs are fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Gently fold in the melted coconut oil or melted butter into the batter. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the baking powder to activate.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or a little coconut oil.
For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side until golden brown, about another 2 minutes.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover to keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
Serve the sugar-free buckwheat pancakes warm with your choice of toppings such as fresh berries, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or nut butter.
