Breakfast: Melissa’s Banana and Buckwheat Pancakes

Passed down from mother to daughter while baking on Avenue V in Brooklyn, New York.

Serves: 6 to 8

Ingredients

  • 1 and 1/4 cups Pocono Buckwheat Flour
  • 1 and 1/4 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 4 tbsp of sugar
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 and 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 medium bananas, ripe
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp cinnamon (optional)

In a nod to creativity and free spirit, add the toppings you want! Melissa and her mother Gayle recommend organic New York maple syrup, organic honeycrisp apples, and organic brown coconut sugar!

If you’d like a gluten free recipe, simply take out the All Purpose Flour, and use an additional 1 and 1/4 cups of Pocono Buckwheat Flour.
