Give buckwheat flour another chance! If you’ve tried baking or making pancakes with buckwheat flour before and been disappointed by dry rocks (not posting that scone recipe!) and tough flapjacks, I’m right there with you.

A few weeks ago, I was making sweet potato pancakes with oatmeal flour and despite leaving those guys in the pan for like 10 minutes, they were still…gooey.

So, buckwheat flour dries pancakes out and sweet potato makes them too gummy.

The gears started turning.

And these perfect pancakes were born! Sweet potato invites its good friend pumpkin spice to the party. You should come, too!
