One day, while going through some of my mother’s old recipes I stumbled upon this one for blueberry pancakes. The original recipe calls for all-purpose flour, however, I really wanted to make a gluten-free version.
Buckwheat is naturally gluten-free and therefore I simply used buckwheat flour instead of all-purpose flour. All other ingredients in this recipe are naturally gluten-free. This has quickly become one of my favorite go-too pancake recipes!
Although the name buckwheat tends to make one believe it contains wheat, it really doesn’t. Buckwheat is actually a seed that comes from a plant that’s related to rhubarb and has a nutty and earthy flavor. Baked buckwheat groats are delicious in granola, in salads, or eaten as a warm, cooked breakfast cereal.
The fiber content in buckwheat helps with blood glucose and is low to medium on the glycemic index. In addition, buckwheat is nutritionally rich, loaded with protein and antioxidants, and can help with overall gut health.
If you were to ask me which berry I consume the most I would say blueberries. I enjoy making blueberry muffins, cake, pie, cheesecake, chia pudding, and granola and stirred into yogurt. These plump, juicy berries are yet another superfood, loaded with nutrients, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber.
In conclusion, I’d say that the combination of buckwheat and blueberries makes Blueberry Buckwheat Pancakes super nutritious. To add even more flavor and health benefits, garnish the pancakes with additional berries such as blackberries, strawberries, and raspberries.
