Buckwheat Pancakes with Berry Compote (Dairy-Free)

Ingredients

• 1 cup Buckwheat Flour
• 1/4 cup Tapioca Starch
• 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1 1/2 cups Dairy-Free Milk (e.g., Oat Milk)
• 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 2 tablespoons Dairy-Free Butter or Oil
• 2 cups Mixed Berries (fresh or frozen)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
• 2 tablespoons Sugar

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, combine the 1 cup buckwheat flour, 1/4 cup tapioca starch, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are thoroughly mixed.
2. 2In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the 1 1/2 cups dairy-free milk, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
3. 3Pour the wet ingredients from the medium bowl into the large bowl containing the dry ingredients. Whisk gently until the ingredients are just combined; it is okay if a few small lumps remain, but do not overmix the batter.
4. 4Heat a large non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat (approximately 350°F / 175°C). Add 1 tablespoon of the 2 tablespoons dairy-free butter or oil to the hot pan and let it melt. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side; the first side is done when small bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set, and the second side is done when golden brown and cooked through. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more of the 2 tablespoons dairy-free butter or oil as needed to prevent sticking.
5. 5While the pancakes are cooking, prepare the berry compote: In a medium saucepan, combine the 2 cups mixed berries, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons sugar. Cook this mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes until the berries soften, release their juices, and the sauce thickens slightly. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
6. 6Serve the warm buckwheat pancakes immediately, topped with the prepared berry compote.
