Total Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

• 1 cup plant milk

• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 tbsp maple syrup

• 3/4 cup buckwheat flour

• 1/4 cup unsweetened cacao powder

• 2 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 tbsp ground flax seeds

Directions:

1. Whisk together the wet ingredients (plant milk, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract, and maple syrup) in a medium to large-sized bowl.

2. Whisk together the dry ingredients (buckwheat flour, cacao powder, baking powder, ground flax seeds, salt) in a separate bowl.

3. Add the wet mix into the bowl with the dry mixture and whisk until combined into a smooth batter.

4. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and pour a drop of vegetable oil and spread evenly around the skillet.
