Sweet Buckwheat Stack

Red bean buckwheat pancakes offer a nutritious and fun treat for the whole family. The mild reddish hue comes from the blend of soaked red beans and buckwheat batter, creating a semi-raw version that retains its full nutritional value—making it a wholesome choice for children to enjoy regularly. Preparing them was pure delight, especially with kids eagerly running around, excited to taste the pancakes fresh off the skillet.

Gluten-Free & Easy to Make

You'll love these quick and easy gluten-free pancakes! For this version, keep the pancakes thick and avoid spreading the batter too thin. Drizzle them with maple syrup or honey, and you'll have both children and adults savoring every bite.

Stack Them High!

Spread hazelnut butter or any cream of your choice over each pancake. Stack them as high as you like—but not too high if you want them to stay intact when cutting! The inside looks amazing, and you can garnish with wild berries like blueberries, cranberries, raspberries, or any fruit of your preference.

What is Buckwheat?

Despite its name, buckwheat is not a type of wheat and is not related to cereal grains. Instead, it is a fruit seed related to rhubarb—a fast-growing, short-season crop that thrives even in low-fertility or acidic soils and ripens within 10–11 weeks after sowing.

Buckwheat is incredibly versatile: the whole seed is used in various dishes, ground buckwheat becomes nutritious flour, buckwheat nectar produces rich, flavorful honey, and even the hulls that enclose the seeds are used as upholstery fillers.
