Buckwheat pancakes!

Buckwheat is SO good for you and Gluten/wheat free!!! I make these pancakes for Ash and he loves them. Buckwheat is loaded with fiber, protein, vitamins and minerals.  Buckwheat is rich in B vitamins and can lower blood pressure and cholesterol. It also has 8 essential amino acids and can have a relaxing effect due to high magnesium content. Why not make your pancakes healthy??

Here is what you need:
2 cups Buckwheat flour ( I use Hodgson Mill as it has not allergen contamination)
4 teaspoons baking powder
4 tablespoons sugar  ( I use stevia in the raw to avoid the sugar)
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons water
4 tablespoons oil ( I use olive or grapeseed for added omegas)
2 cups soy milk (I use rice milk)

Mix dry ingredients together with a wire whisk.  Combine wet ingredients and then add to your dry.  MIx with whisk. Don't over mix, a few lumps is okay.  Heat  your griddle or pan and spray with non dairy cooking oil.  Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto heated pan and cook until bubbles start to form on top. Flip and cook until light brown.   ENJOY!  P.S.- these freeze really well!
