What do buckwheat pancakes taste like?

They taste nutty and earthy compared to regular pancakes. Some also find buckwheat a little bitter. The addition of brown sugar helps balance out any bitterness.

Is it better to add pureed banana to pancake batter or just add sliced banana?

Pureed or mashed bananas will be more evenly distributed throughout the pancakes, while sliced bananas will remain intact where you place them. It's a matter of personal preference.

Can you make the pancake batter the night before?

Sure. Store it in a container in the fridge and gently stir the batter in the morning. If it has thickened, thin it back out with a splash or two of milk.

Instructions

Whisk together the buckwheat flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl. In a second bowl, stir the milk, eggs, mashed banana, melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until combined.
Pour the liquid ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Use a spatula to gently mix the two until incorporated. It's fine if there are some lumps. Leave the batter to rest for 10 minutes.
Heat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium-low heat. When hot, brush the skillet with some of the oil. Ladle on 1/4 cup worth of batter for each pancake. Add blueberries as you like.
When you see bubbles in the middle of the pancakes, use a spatula to flip each one over carefully. Continue to cook for another couple of minutes. Repeat this pancake making process with the remaining batter.
Serve your pancakes warm with additional blueberries and maple syrup.

Notes

If you're using frozen blueberries, there's no need to defrost them.

Pancakes can be kept warm on a baking sheet in a 200-degree oven.
