Coconut pancake recipes can be a great alternative for people on a gluten free diet. And buckwheat pancake recipes can be another great gluten free alternative for your morning breakfast.
A buckwheat pancake recipe uses a fruit seed that is known to contain many health benefits and was used by the Ancient people of Asia. Buckwheat flour is also considered to be a low glycemic food.
However, if you want a low carb pancake recipe, using coconut flour will be the better alternative. And by using healthy sweeteners you can add a little sweetness into your pancake recipes without overly spiking your blood sugar level which is also a better alternative.

I really like the nutrients found in buckwheat (very high in magnesium). However, sprouting buckwheat will be necessary to release the anti-nutrients that are found in buckwheat Sprouting helps to make the nutrients in buckwheat more readily available and also helps with digestion. You could make your own sprouted buckwheat flour. Or just buy organic sprouted buckwheat flour. You could also ferment unsprouted buckwheat flour before using in your buckwheat pancake recipes. Fermenting also gives you a healthier and more digestible buckwheat pancake. Learn how to properly ferment buckwheat flour so that you can make this fermented buckwheat pancake recipe. |

I love coconut pancake recipes because they actually taste like "real" pancakes and come without the stomach pains from gluten. Coconut pancake recipes are also known to be lower in carbohydrates. And there are many good brands of coconut flour on the market these days to choose from to make your coconut pancake recipes. Coconut Secret also makes a really good coconut syrup sweetener that is also a raw low glycemic sweetener. |

You could also experiment with a little almond flour along with the coconut flour in your pancake recipes. Although, you may have to change other measurements as these two low carb flours work quite differently. You can also make your own powdered or liquid stevia from dried stevia leaves for an alternative. |
