Pancake Ingredients

100 grams (3.5 ounces) green buckwheat
100 milliliters (3.4 fluid ounces) plant-based milk
7 small dates (or to taste)
2 teaspoons cocoa powder
1/3 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
a pinch of salt
1 tablespoon coconut or olive oil
We recommend:

Berry Jam Ingredients

100 grams (3.5 ounces) fresh or frozen berries (strawberries and cranberries recommended)
syrop from Jerusalem artichoke to taste
1.5 tablespoons psyllium or chia seeds

Instructions

Step 1

Soak the Buckwheat

Start by soaking the green buckwheat overnight in water. If your dates are hard, soak them as well. This will help to soften them, making them easier to blend.

Step 2

Blend the Ingredients

In the morning, rinse the soaked buckwheat and place it in a blender. Add all the ingredients, except for the baking soda and lemon juice or apple cider vinegar. Blend until you achieve a smooth consistency similar to traditional pancake batter.

Step 3

Add Baking Soda

Once blended, mix in the baking soda combined with the lemon juice or apple cider vinegar. Stir gently to combine. The texture should resemble that of standard pancake batter – you can check out the consistency in the accompanying video!

Step 4

Cook the Pancakes

Heat a pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with coconut or olive oil. Pour the batter into the pan to form pancakes. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on both sides. Note: To make thinner pancakes, simply add more milk or water to the batter!

Step 5

Prepare the Berry Jam

While your pancakes are cooking, make the berry jam by blending together berries with the syrop to your liking and adding psyllium or chia seeds. Allow the mixture to thicken for about 30 minutes, which is the perfect time while pancakes are cooking.

Step 6

Serve and Enjoy

Once the pancakes are ready, serve them with a generous amount of your homemade berry jam. Enjoy this delicious treat with your family, especially during festive occasions!

Servings

These pancakes pair wonderfully with homemade berry jam. 🎉 Simply blend together 100g of fresh or frozen berries (I love using strawberries and cranberries) with some syrup to taste and a pinch of psyllium or chia seeds for thickening. 🍓 Let the mixture rest for 30 minutes while you cook the pancakes, and you’ll have a sweet topping ready to drizzle over your fluffy stacks!

For an *extra special touch*, consider serving your pancakes with a dollop of vegan yogurt and a sprinkle of your favorite nuts or seeds. The crunch of the nuts contrasts beautifully with the softness of the pancakes. 🥜💖

Don't forget to let your friends in on the secret—your fluffy pancakes will be the star of the show at any gathering! 😍✨
