Buckwheat Pancakes

Blender Buckwheat pancakes

1 cup whole buckwheat groats

¾ cup water

1 ½ Tb coconut oil

1 tsp cinnamon

½ tsp salt

1 tsp honey

1 ½ tsp baking powder



Soak the buckwheat grouts overnight. Using a strainer, rinse well and drain in the morning. Add drained groats to blender all ingredients except the baking powder. Blend until smooth. Add baking powder and blend well. serves 2 **I recommend doubling or tripling the recipe**


Note: Soaking overnight increases the overall digestibility of the buckwheat by starting the germination process, allowing nutrients to be more readily absorbed during digestion. All whole grains contain phytic acid, an enzyme inhibitor, that binds to the minerals and proteins in grain. Consumption of unsoaked grains can lead to poor absorption of the nutrients in the grain, and the undigested proteins can irritate the intestines. In addition, the phytic acid binds to minerals in the intestinal tract such as calcium and zinc, leading to a net loss in minerals in the body.
