Chocolate Buckwheat Pancakes

Sundays call for pancakes… and when your have spent the last two days sitting in hospital with a partner and his grumpy appendix sundays call for CHOCOLATE pancakes!

Buckwheat flour tends to be a little bit dry, however I have found by separating the eggs, whipping the egg whites and gently folding them through gives them a light fluffy texture.

3. Add in the egg yolk, nut milk and sweetener and whisk to combine.

5. Heat a heavy base pan with a little bit of coconut oil and cook pancakes. note: I use a 1/4 cup to measure out the pancakes so that they are even.
6. Serve straight away with frozen/fresh berries, seasonal fruit and a drizzle of honey.
