Perfect Buckwheat Protein Pancakes

A perfect breakfast busy mornings, this protein-packed buckwheat pancake cooks up fluffy and light. These have a perfect sweetness from banana, so no toppings are needed, but my favorite way to serve them is with banana and a drizzle of SunButter sunflower seed butter!

  • Cook the batter until bubbles begin forming on top.

Notes

How to Store Leftover Pancakes: This recipe makes 1 serving, so typically there are no leftovers! If you'd like to meal prep these, cook the pancakes as directed, and then store in the refrigerator in an air tight container for up to 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
To reheat, add the pancake to a hot skillet with a little coconut oil, and warm both sides.
Variations: Add chopped strawberries, whole fresh blueberries, or raspberries to the batter prior to pouring it in a skillet.
Use a whole egg instead of egg whites: Instead of using 3 egg whites, use 1 whole egg and 1 egg white in this recipe. You can also double the recipe, and use 3 whole eggs instead of egg whites, with the recipe of the ingredients doubled.
