Buckwheat Hemp Banana Pancakes

During the summer months, I generally crave light and fresh foods. Still, I also crave warm and hearty choices, and whole grains with staying power. Bright sunny mornings have me opening all the windows and doors – letting the cool fresh air in.

A warm hearty breakfast goes well with a cool morning, and one that fills me up and keeps me satisfied until early afternoon is a must.

Nutrient Rich Breakfast

Thankfully, pancakes have a year-round appeal for me – winter or summer, pancakes just seem to go with weekends. Spring and summer pancakes might involve fresh fruit or even fresh vegetables, which is always a plus.

When creating a new pancake recipe, I try to meet several aspects – flavor, fluffy texture, nutrition and staying power. These are all of those things and more.

These pancakes are packed with the essentials. Buckwheat and hemp bring a good amount of protein and fiber to pair with a natural sweetness with the wholesome nutrition. A short ingredient list and tasty satisfying flavor make this one of my favorite vegan pancake recipes.

(see more vegan breakfast recipes here.)

Six Ingredient Recipe

I went through several test recipes and variations to get to this recipe – a hearty, naturally sweet pancake with a bit of fluffiness to balance the nutrient dense whole grain.

With a total of six ingredients, this is an easy vegan gluten free recipe using what you most likely have on hand. These pancakes have no added sugar, using a ripe banana as a natural sweetener.

Adding dark chocolate chips makes these pancakes even sweeter… so good, and like a completely new recipe with one added ingredient.

    Nope… while I love chocolate, I don’t like it in my breakfast! The pancakes with the blackberries though?? Fabulous!!! Hope the day was a beautiful as you described. I’m envious of the “long” walk your pups take, mine would prefer to stay on a lap!

      I get it, chocolate isn’t always a natural breakfast choice (I happen to LOVE it, though). πŸ˜‰ we have been walking the pups early every morning lately – they love it and SNOOZE all morning afterwards! πŸ™‚

      we LOVE hemp seeds here – we have been using them as a (coconut) yogurt topping at breakfast – CRAZY good energy!

    Absolutely stunning pancakes. I am such a sucker for pancakes. What grabbed me here is the unique ingredients. I’ve tried buckwheat pancakes in the past but never with hemp. I got all the ingredients here and ripe bananas. Better get to work! πŸ™‚

    I think those are the hugest blackberries I’ve ever seen–and I’ve spent some time in the PNW, even! Such a perfect match with beautiful fluffy pancakes. πŸ™‚

    I’m going to say….with PEANUT BUTTER chips. πŸ™‚ [Or maybe cinnamon chips if you can find them?] Just to be difficult.

    And because that sounds really good to me right now.

    I’m waiting until you have made enough recipes using that cereal that I can open my box, that I still have from HLB Summit swag–which I had my brother pick up after I couldn’t go and mail to me (hint, hint regarding Vida Vegan ;)) and make them all in one fell swoop.

      I actually have some cinnamon chips, I think? πŸ™‚ peanut butter would be good too… I happen to know the VVC swag bag will have a box of Erewhon as well…
