I love making fluffy buckwheat flour pancakes with oat milk and no added sugar. Buckwheat flour is naturally gluten-free, making these pancakes a great choice for anyone avoiding gluten.

Sue Maree P Baking Tips
- MILK – use your favourite milk
- SIFTING FLOUR – you can sift the flour but I never do for pancakes
- COOKING – ensure your pan is on a medium heat, too low the pancake won't brown and too high and the pancake burns before the insides are cooked
- EGG FREE OPTIONS – use 1/4 cup of yoghurt or apple sauce or mashed banana, flax egg (1 tb ground flax seed + 3 tb water, mixed, wait 10 minutes) or chia seeds mixed with water or 1/4 cup of sparkling water.
