Buckwheat Applesauce Pancakes

I made these this morning and they were good enough to be wheat! All the kids ate them up.

What's nice about these pancakes are that 1) the applesauce and buckwheat take away the blandness of the GF flour mix, 2) the applesauce gives them some thickness and disguises the sliminess of the xanthan gum, and 3) they brown decently.


GF Flour Mix

Mix this up in your food processor when you have a spare moment
and store it in a plastic container in your pantry. I use Bob's Red Mill products
because they are easily available at my local market.

2 parts brown rice flour
1 part tapioca flour (or starch)
1 part potato flour (or starch)


Buckwheat Applesauce Pancakes

Toss all ingredients in the food processor:

1 cup GF flour mix
1/4 cup buckwheat flour
1 egg
1 tbsp canola oil
1 tsp sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp xanthan gum
1 cup rice milk
1/4 cup applesauce

Blend until mixed, about 5 seconds.
Spoon onto a hot oiled griddle and flip when browned.
