Pancakes are the ultimate comfort food. They are also a lot of fun to eat. I have no idea why, but you can’t argue with the facts. I can seriously eat an entire stack. I have no shame. Pumpkin pancakes – do they get any better? How about these Buckwheat Pumpkin Pancakes which are both gluten-free and vegan. It’s breakfast perfection.
Don’t ask what rock I’ve been living under, but it’s only recently that I was introduced to buckwheat. Maybe because it had wheat in the title, I thought it was a wheat product? It’s actually an ancient grain, a seed, and it’s wheat and gluten-free.
Buckwheat has one of those flavors that mesh perfectly with fall flavors. So yeah… buckwheat pumpkin pancakes… consider me addicted!
