Buckwheat, in the rhubarb family, is a wonderful gluten-free alternative way to increase the fiber and protein in your diet. These light gluten-free pancakes have a delicious flavor and are named for my niece, Allie, who devours them. Kids and adults will have no idea they're eating something a little healthier. This gluten-free mix can also be used to make pumpkin pancakes, double chocolate chip pancakes, banana pancakes, and double chocolate chip pancakes. See our recipe section for details.
