Pancake Day Recipe!

Who doesn't like a day that involves eating pancakes? Here's a great recipe that we use, it was adapted from The Thrive Diet book and is wheat and gluten free, low fat,healthy and tastes absolutely AMAZING! In fact they're always our breakfast for birthdays,holidays,anniversaries and basically any time we want something special for breakfast.

Blueberry,Banana and Buckwheat Pancakes
Makes around 6 decent sized pancakes

1 cup of buckwheat flour (can be bought in most supermarkets)
1/4 cup of ground flaxseed/linseed
1 tsp baking powder (gf free)
1tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 medium sized banana
1 cup of blueberries (or whatever berries you have,we use frozen mixed berries)
5 fresh dates/dried dates (obviously no stone)- soak in 1/8th cup of boiling water for 10mins,keep water to use
3 tsp agave syrup or maple syrup or whatever your sweetener of choice is
3/4 cup of soy milk or coconut milk (increases fat but makes very creamy). If you prefer thinner mixture add more milk.

Blend all in in a food processor until smooth then oil a pan and heat until very hot.

As soon as the batter hits the hot pan, tip it around from side to side to get the size you want. It should take only half a minute or so to cook depending on thickness.

Lift the corners with a palette knife to stop from sticking and use to turn over when ready. Cook for the same time on the other side then serve.
