These hazelnut pancakes are simple to make and are perfect for a weekend breakfast. The ingredients below are the flavours I like to use but you can always vary the vanilla, cinnamon, cardamom and ginger depending on your taste and what you have available. 

Ingredients

Makes 12-15 small pancakes. 

  • 2 cups buckwheat flour
  • ¼ cup coconut flour
  • ¼ cup linseed
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp arrowroot powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla (scraped from a pod)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp cardamom
  • ¼ tsp ginger
  • 2 – 3 cups hazelnut milk

Method

  1. Stir, blend or mix all ingredients into a smooth batter. Start with the lowest amount of hazelnut milk and add more gradually if needed. 
  2. Heat some coconut oil in a pan. Scoop about ¼ cup of the batter in the pan. If there’s room in your pan for an extra pancake, scoop it in. (I made a few batches of four small pancakes in my pan).
  3. Brown the pancakes on both sides. 
  4. Serve with some nut butter, crushed hazelnuts and cinnamon.
