Kefir Banana Pancakes

Buckwheat is considered to be a superfood as it’s full of fibre as well as antioxidants and proteins. Is also gluten free which makes it a perfect ingredient for people with celiac and it’s easy to digest. It gives a slightly earthy flavour to your dishes, and it’s a perfect alternative to wheat flour. This pancake recipe is both healthy and delicious, and completely free of processed ingredients and refined sugars.
