Taking The Stress Out Of Gluten-Free Grain-Free & Dairy-Free Living
Buckwheat & Coconut Flour Pancakes
Buckwheat & Coconut Flour Pancakes
*Makes 12 medium to large pancakes
2 Organic Eggs, Separated
2 1/2 Cups of Organic Milk (my favorite is full fat coconut milk)
1 teaspoon of Pure Vanilla Extract
1 Cup of Organic Buckwheat Flour (I also like grind buckwheat groats and make my own buckwheat flour. The groat flour makes for a bit of a fluffier pancake and less of a buckwheat flavor, but both versions are very good.)
1/2 Cup of Organic Coconut Flour
1/2 Cup of Arrowroot
1 teaspoon of Double Acting Baking Powder
1 teaspoon of Baking Soda
1 teaspoon of Organic Coconut Crystals
1/4 teaspoon of Iodized Sea Salt
Separate the eggs and beat egg whites to stiff peak. Set aside. Sift the buckwheat, coconut flour, tapioca starch, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda into a medium sized bowl. Add the milk, egg yolks, and vanilla. Whisk to combine. Carefully fold in egg whites.
Heat a griddle on medium and oil. I used bacon fat but you can use avocado oil or coconut oil also. Spoon batter onto hot griddle and cook for 4 minutes or until bubbly on top. Flip and cook for about 3 minutes.

Finding balance in any aspect of life is tough these days I think. Such a crazy, busy, world we live in. Not easy for 1 all of us with food allergies and diet issues, that’s for sure. 🙂

That’s great about your weight loss and it’s good you’re on top of what is and isn’t a paleo diet. Your pancakes look wonderful xx

Thanks, Charlie. I’m sure the quick weight loss was just water from being inflamed…but if the scale says 9 pounds, then it’s 9 pounds. Who am I to argue? 😉

Gosh, I agree with all you have said regarding balance and what is truly Paleo. One of my ‘go to’ grain free treats when I am craving grain is buckwheat pancakes. Also I make a ‘mug muffin’ using flax meal and almond meal that is very satisfying. I have food allergies like you, and have made the break from sugar, grains and dairy. It is not easy, and yet, I still eat well! Thank you so much.

Thanks you for the recipe – they were great, very fluffy! Question though, your ingredient list says arrowroot starch but in the instructions you say tapioca. Which did you mean? I used tapioca and that worked very well.

This recipe sounds delicious. I will be trying it tomorrow. You talk about eating healthy than you fry your pancakes in bacon fat. Organic olive oil would be so much healthier. Just sayin’.

Hi Jean. It is delicious, I hope you like it. The “bacon fat” that my pancakes are cooked in is the tiny amount that is coating the pan after I’ve fried bacon, drained the fat, then wiped the pan completely out with paper towels. Any small amount of fat will do, just enough so they don’t stick. I have stopped cooking with olive oil and only use it as a finish oil as heating it above certain temperatures makes it toxic. Coconut oil or avocado oil, like the recipe states, would be a better choice if you’re opposed to animal fat.

I made these pancakes this morning. They were amazing. They came out “fluffy” and very light. I made a couple of changes if you don’t mind me telling you. I accidently added 2 whole eggs instead of just the egg whites. I did use 2 egg whites and beat them to stiff peaks too. I only needed 2 1/4 cups almond milk. I also added 2 pkgs of Pure Stevia for sweetness and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract instead on 1.
They did tend to stick to my fry pan though. Would it help if I added 1 teaspoon or more of coconut or olive oil to the mix?

Yes, I think a bit more oil would help. I make mine on a “safe” non stick grill. Makes it a lot easier but if you’re going to do them in a regular stainless steel pan or cast iron pan, then yes I would add more oil. Glad you liked how they turned out! 🙂
