Buckwheat Pancakes

Buckwheat Pancakes

Buckwheat Pancakes are the perfect weekend treat and not only taste great, but they are full of nourishing ingredients.

Despite having wheat as part of its name, buckwheat is a gluten-free grain with an impressive nutritional profile. It’s a good source of fibre and compared to other grains, is a good source of protein too. Buckwheat Pancakes are easy to make and if you make too many, you can just reheat them again later.

Buckwheat is an amazing source of magnesium and vitamin B3 – two nutrients that are crucial for a good night’s sleep. Magnesium is the ultimate relaxer for the central nervous system and vitamin B3 is a precursor to the production of neurotransmitters, serotonin and melatonin.
