Fluffy vegan pancakes made with buckwheat flour and sourdough starter leftovers. Great for breakfast with tons of topping ideas.

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
02 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar (apple cider works great)
03 - 1 tablespoon flaxseed powder
04 - ½ teaspoon sea salt
05 - ¼ cup applesauce
06 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup or natural cane sugar
07 - 2 tablespoons neutral oil (can use refined coconut, grape seed, or avocado oil) and some extra for cooking
08 - 1 ripe banana, cut into slices (for topping)
09 - Maple syrup for drizzling on top
10 - 1 cup sourdough discard, gluten-free if needed
11 - 1 cup buckwheat flour
12 - ¼ cup gluten-free, all-purpose, or white whole wheat flour
13 - 1 cup dairy-free milk (like soy or any other kind of plant milk you like)
14 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
15 - ½ teaspoon baking soda

# Steps:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine the buckwheat flour, gluten-free flour, sourdough discard, and plant milk. Cover it up and refrigerate overnight.
02 - Next morning, take the batter out of the fridge and let it warm up a bit on the counter. Sprinkle baking soda, salt, and baking powder over the mixture.
03 - In another bowl, blend the applesauce, sweetener (maple syrup or sugar), ground flaxseed, vanilla, your chosen oil, and the lemon juice. Pour this into the pancake batter and give it a good stir.
04 - Heat up your non-stick skillet or griddle on medium. Add a dab of oil. Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake, letting it cook on one side 2–3 minutes before flipping. Cook the other side for another minute.
05 - Lay banana slices on top and pour some maple syrup to finish. Enjoy them with anything else you love!
