Vegan & Gluten-Free Spiced Buckwheat Pancakes
Jump To Recipe
Pancakes are one the easiest recipes to ‘health-ify’. Replacing white flour with whole wheat or oat flour, an egg with a flax egg, adding a mashed banana, topping it with some fresh berries. Even adding a scoop of quinoa!
This recipe is not only vegan and gluten-free, but I made to sure to use only nut (chestnut or almond) and seed (buckwheat) flour.
These pancakes are perfect as is with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. However adding the chia jam will take it over the top!

Ingredients:
Pancakes:
- 1 tbsp flax seeds
- 1/2 cup buckwheat flour
- 1/2 cup chestnut flour (or almond flour)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon powder
- 1/2-1 tsp cardamom powder
- 1 tbsp vanilla protein powder (optional)
- 1 small ripe banana, mashed
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other non-dairy milk)
- 6-8 drops liquid stevia (optional)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
Berry Date Chia Jam:
- 1/4 cup soft dates
- 1/2 cup raspberries (I used frozen)
- 2 tbsp chi seeds
- 1 tbsp water, lemon juice or maple syrup
Instructions:
- Grind the flax seeds in a spice grinder. Add 3 tablespoons water and mix well to make a flax egg. Set aside to thicken.
- Meanwhile make the jam by placing all the ingredients in a small food processor and blended just until a jam is formed. Set aside while you make the pancakes.
- In a medium bowl sift together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, spices, and protein powder if using.
- In a small bowl, mix the mashed banana with the flax egg, almond milk, and stevia is using.
- Add the liquid mix to the dry ingredients and fold in to make a thick batter.
- Heat up a frying pan or cast iron skillet on medium heat and melt the coconut oil.
- Once the pan and oil are hot, pour about a 1/4 cup of batter per pancake and turn once it starts to bubble and browns after 1-2 minutes. Fry the other side for 1 minute before transferring to your serving dish.
- Top with maple syrup, honey, fresh berries, berry compote or chia jam as pictured above.
