December 21, 2020These were super tasty and had perfect texture! My boys miss buckwheat pancakes from their old fave restaurant, so I made these per recipe with one tiny addition...just a few semi sweet chocolate chips dropped on each as I made the pancakes and they gobbled them down! So delicious.

Very anxious to try these. Love seeing everyone's modifications. The guy who thinks he's being healthy by adding Canola oil is sorely misinformed! Butter is a much healthier choice!

January 16, 2017First time using buckwheat flour. It has a different texture butI really liked the flavor. Might just take some getting used to for the flour. Will make them again.

Daddio REVIEW:
October 27, 2016Did some chopped apple and a little butter in a cast iron skillet on the stovetop. Did the recipe except for subbing honey for sugar. Poured over the cooked apples and cooked on the stove for a short time. Then finished in oven at 350. Topped with a small amount of our homemade maple syrup. It was delicious!

Leslie3rd REVIEW:
January 1, 2016Had never tried buckwheat flour before, so I tried this as an experiment of sorts. The texture was a little more grainy than regular pancakes, but they were a nice change of pace. I thought I detected a little cocoa flavor to them, but it was probably just my imagination, as they are darker than the usual.

Rubi REVIEW:
March 24, 2014I made this today for breakfast, and am happy with the results. It turned out to make six medium sized fluffy pancakes that were quick and easy to make. I made substitutions in equal amounts for mine, for those who need to substitute don't be afraid to (instead of sugar I used grade B maple syrup, and almond milk in lieu of milk), they still were really good!

July 9, 2013This was my first time using buckwheat flour in any type of recipe. I think next time I'll add a little extra sugar as I like my pancakes a little sweeter but this was quite good.

I wrote to the Quacker Oats people and they sent me this recipe. It is wonderful! 3/4 C. Regular Aunt Jemima Pancake Mix1/3 C. dark buckwheat flour1/2 tsp. baking powderthen follow the directions on the box for the remaining ingredients. The batter is very thick so I used a little more milk than is called for. These taste just like the regular buckwheat mix used to. I was thrilled with the recipe and wrote back thanking them.

michael REVIEW:
November 22, 2009It's nice to find a buckwheat pancake recipe that uses 100% buckwheat flour. This recipe made about 8 pancakes. I used Arrowhead Mills 100% organic buckwheat flour. I used soy milk instead of regular milk and grapeseed oil instead of butter and they came out great. We love the nutty flavor and they made nice soft tasty pancakes. We will use this recipe often.

TexasPE REVIEW:
August 29, 2009I simplified the recipe by substituting 2 tbsp of vegetable oil for the butter. I then upped the sugar to 3 tbsp and added 2 cups of fresh blueberries. Absolutely wonderful. I would recommend lowering the difficulty rating to a two (2).

Guest Foodie REVIEW:
January 31, 2009Ugh. Maybe it's because this was my first attempt using buckwheat, but we did not like these at all. Strange, bland flavor. Even my baby didn't like them, and he's game for most things! Maybe if I added fruit, or used part white flour they would be better.

Guest Foodie REVIEW:
January 16, 2009I made this recipe today, substituting buttermilk for milk; quite good, I thought.Here in New England, some grocery chains now carry buckwheat flour, or a buckwheat pancake mix called "ployes" (a French Canadian term). These mixes are buckwheat flour, wheat flour, baking powder, and salt, nothing more. One just adds water to make a thin crepe-like batter, spreads it as thin as possible, and cooks on one side only. Like crepes, ployes are suitable for both sweet and savory fillings. I started off using the mixes, but now usually make my cakes from scratch use a free-form mix of buckwheat flour, Rhode Island johnnycake flour (a fine-ground corn meal) and wheat flour, plus buttermilk, baking powder, and salt.

Guest Foodie REVIEW:
January 19, 2008This is my first experience with buckwheat pancakes and they are delicious! I've made them twice so far, and I also substituted soy milk for milk, applesauce for sugar and oil for butter but they worked out great. Try adding blueberries and a hint of vanilla and cinnamon. Fantastic!

PerfectBodyCoach REVIEW:
November 2, 2007My Mom used to make Buckwheat pancakes for me when I was growing up, because I was allergic to wheat, so when I found some buckwheat flour at the health food store the other day it brought back the pleasant memories... I got online to find a recipe and found this one, and these pancakes taste even better than I remembered! And an added benefit: Buckwheat is a very low-glycemic grain so it's great for people who want to manage their weight or keep blood sugar balanced. I like to top my pancakes with butter, unsweetened applesauce, and cinnamon! Yummy! url removed

foodilicious REVIEW:
August 19, 2007I used 1/2 buckwheat and 1/2 spelt flour. I also added a bit of vinegar to my rice milk, and some fresh blueberries. The results are fantastic (tip: add blue berries to dry ingredients so they don't sink!) no need to oil the pan if using anodized non-stick. My boyfriend ate all of these without breathing.

bespenship REVIEW:
January 7, 2007When I was growing up, Aunt Jemima's buckwheat pancake mix was the de-facto standard for pancakes at our house. My dad had grown up with buckwheat pancakes and they were the best as far as he was concerned. Unfortunately, the Quaker Oats Company has for a long time no longer produced a buckwheat pancake mik for the mass market. There are buckwheat pancake mixes out there if you look in the health food sections of you local store, but the price can be prohibitive. I am now the dad, and my family enjoys pancakes, which can be one of the healthier foods my kids get excited about. Additionally, we are becoming more health conscious over time, so I went looking for a good, generic, buckwheat pancake recipe that uses common ingredients and found this recipe to be just what we were looking for. The recipe is basic, but makes pancakes that are good, are easily modifiable, and are complimented well by any butter, syrups, preserves, powdered sugar, nuts, or fruit that we would normally top them with. For the health conscious, egg-beaters can be substituted for the eggs, and canola oil for the butter (butter tastes better to most people, but only if butter won't be added after serving). Additionally, there is no problem with substituting a quarter cup of applesauce for the sugar, or adding any type of nuts (we've used walnuts) to the batter. Other common sense variations like adding cinnamon or vanilla also work well.
