These apple buckwheat pancakes are super easy to make and the apple and cinnamon flavour is a match made in heaven. These pancakes make a great gluten free breakfast option.
These pancakes taste just the traditional version! In fact, you wouldn't know that they were healthy and both gluten and dairy free if you had not read the ingredients.
The apple and cinnamon flavour is absolutely delicious and the best thing about these pancakes is that they are so easy to make (and I mean easy!).
You can also make a nut free version, if you substitute the almond milk with coconut milk (or your preferred milk).

Hi Vanessa,
I was just wondering if the apple in this recipe is optional?
Vanessa Vickery
The apple makes up a fair bit of the recipe. So you may need to adjust the other quanties if you wanted to make it without the apple
Denise
I love these pancakes. I double the cinnamon and even add pumpkin pie spice. They are not mushy. I’m too lazy to get out my grater so I cut my apples into small pieces.. Easy, quick and delicious.
Vanessa Vickery
So glad that you like them Denise and I love that you make them with cut up apple instead of grated!! 🙂
Susan
I tried this for the first time today. It was surprisingly light and fluffy and had a harmonious flavor. I too might add more cinnamon and maybe try other spices for a changeup. Make sure pan is not too hot (which I forgot to check in recipe), I burned the first one! Will definitely make again!
Vanessa Vickery
Glad you liked it... Yep definitely don't cook on a lower heat. I have made that mistake too 🙂
Sara
For some reason, they would stick so bad to every pan I’ve tried.

What sort of pans do you have? What are they made of?
