Ingredients

For the pancakes:

  • 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 cup buckwheat flour either grind raw buckwheat groats or use store-bought flour
  • 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 1/4 cups almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon agave
  • 2 tablespoons shredded coconut
  • 1 cup pineapple, peeled and chopped into small pieces

For the coconut cream:

  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk or cream, refrigerated overnight
  • 1/2 teaspoon agave
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the fruit topping

  • 1 peach, cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup pineapple, peeled and chopped into small pieces
  • 1 teaspoon coconut flakes
  • 1 teaspoon agave

Instructions

  • Grind the flax seeds in a food processor. Whisk them toghether with 2 tablespoons of water and set aside to thicken. Meanwhile make the batter: Combine the remaining pancake ingredients in a medium bowl and stir constinuously until smooth. Add the flax seeds and stir in.
  • Lightly grease a skillet and heat over medium heat. Add a ladleful of the batter. Cook for about 2 minutes or until golden. You know it's time to flip them over when little bubbles appear on the surface. Put them in the oven to keep them warm.
  • Next, make the coconut cream: Carefully open the can of refrigerated coconut milk or cream. Make sure to keep it level so the cream and liquid keeps separate. Put a mixing bowl in the freezer for about 5 minutes. Then scoop out the cream. Stop scooping when you reach the liquid (you can use it for smoothies). Beat for about a minute using a mixer (on high speed), then add agave and vanilla and continue for another 2 minutes until it becomes creamy.
  • Heat a small pan and add the peach and pineapple pieces together with the agave. Cook for about 2 minutes.
  • Serve the pancakes with the coconut cream and the cooked fruits. Sprinkle with coconut flakes.
