Ingredients

4 servings

¾ cup gluten-free baking and pancake mix (such as Pamela's®) ¾ cup water 1 egg ¼ cup buckwheat flour 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Egg Snack

Instructions

Step 1

In a bowl, whisk together the gluten-free pancake mix, water, egg, buckwheat flour, and vegetable oil until the batter is smooth and lump-free. If it feels too thick, add a little more water to loosen it up. Let the batter rest for about 15 minutes—that little wait helps make the pancakes nice and fluffy.

Step 2

Heat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium-low heat and lightly grease it with oil. Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook them until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges start to look set, usually around 2 minutes. Flip carefully and cook for another minute or so, until both sides are golden brown. Serve warm and enjoy!

Serving Suggestions

Serve warm with fresh berries, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt. You can also add sliced bananas and a sprinkle of nuts for extra flavor and crunch. These pancakes go well with both sweet and savory toppings, making them versatile for any meal.

Storage Tips

Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them gently in a toaster or microwave. For longer storage, freeze pancakes separated by parchment paper and reheat directly from frozen.
