These pancakes are my go-to. We make them all the time – mostly on weekends or if we have a special house guest. But we’ve also made a big batch for the workweek – nothing makes Mondays more tolerable like Saturday pancakes, amiright? Plus they’re super hearty and wholesome so eating them any day of the week is totally cool. Buckwheat baby, I love this stuff. The name is kinda misleading as it’s not actually a wheat but rather a seed. It’s loaded with protein and iron and all those amino acids essential to the veg-heads. If you’re new to buckwheat then these pancakes are for you – just half a cup mixed in with the favorite flour of your choice and you’ll be buzzing like a bee, ready to tackle the day. Speaking of buzzing, these peaches! It’s peach season city down here in the south right now so in addition to eating them straight-up like all day everyday I decided to get boozy with a couple here. Of course plain ones are just as good too.







Ingredients for the Buckwheat Pancakes
1/2 cup buckwheat flour
1/2 cup flour of your choice: oat flour, whole wheat flour, gluten free flour blend, etc.
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1¼ cups kefir
2 eggs
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Butter or coconut oil, for the skillet
roasted, salted pecans and greek yogurt for serving
+ whiskey, maple, peach juice from the below soaked peaches for drizzling
Ingredients for the Maple Whiskey Peaches
3 peaches, sliced in circles as shown
2 tablespoons good quality maple syrup
1 tablespoon whiskey
Directions
Slice the peaches into circles as shown and soak them in the maple syrup and whiskey mixture. For the pancakes: in a large bowl mix together the dry ingredients first, then whisk in the eggs and finally the kefir and vanilla, careful not to over mix. Heat a skillet with a bit of butter or coconut oil on medium high, place a peach slice in the center and pour a ladle full of batter over the peach. Flip when you see little bubbles popping up through the batter. Serve with roasted salted pecans, greek yogurt and whiskey, maple, peach sauce.
