    Last week I asked our Insta followers if they would prefer me to make a Savoury or a Sweet pancake recipe for Pancake day, fully expecting that my lovely followers would choose savoury. (Mostly because last time I asked something similar, the salad was chosen over some cake!) Oh, how wrong I was. So instead, you are getting these rather delicious Vegan Tahini Buckwheat Pancakes with White Chocolate Sauce instead of the savoury spiced spinach pancakes I had in mind.

    There's probably some kind of lesson to this, along the lines of never anticipating the data or something. In any case, the outcome has been unexpectedly delicious.

    I don't have the biggest sweet tooth, Vanessa is generally the instigator of all things sweet on the blog, so these pancakes whilst sweet, aren't sickly, and I think all the nicer for it. In fact, if you left out the maple syrup in the pancake batter, these would make a stunning savoury pancake mix. I assure you this is something I will be trying soon!

    I used buckwheat instead of regular flour, not because I wanted to make these gluten free (which they are, as buckwheat isn't actually a wheat, but a kind of seed) , but because I adore the nutty flavour of buckwheat in a pancake. The tahini used in both the pancake batter & in the sauce just adds to the lovely effect!

    The sauce meanwhile is actually kinda genius - if I do say so myself! I combined tahini with white chocolate & plant milk to make a lush, just sweet enough but not too sweet sauce. Add lots of berries and stack the pancakes high for a delicious breakfast or brunch treat.

    These pancakes are quite filling so while they taste indulgent, as they are packed with fibre, protein & minerals will actually fuel your day! If you're looking for other yummy sweet breakfasts, you HAVE to try Vanessa's Healthy Gourmet Chocolate Granola!

    Servings 5 pancakes

    Equipment

    • Frying Pan
    • Mixing Bowl

    Ingredients Note:

    For accuracy, I measure all ingredients in metric as standard, then convert and test the recipe for American cup measurements etc.

    (Heads up Aussie and UK readers- your measurements in cups are sometimes different, so please use metric or check you have the correct cup and spoon type!!)

    Ingredients

    For the pancakes

    • 125 g (1 cup) buckwheat flour
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 2 teaspoon cream of tartar (you can also use 1 teaspoon of lemon juice or white vinegar)
    • 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
    • 2 tablespoon maple syrup
    • 235 ml (1 cup) of any plant milk
    • 2 tablespoon Tahini
    • 1 tablespoon nuetral oil (for frying)

    For the White Chocolate Sauce

    • 100 g (1 cup) vegan white chocolate (in the UK you can buy it at Sainbury's supermarket quite easily)
    • 3 tablespoon Tahini
    • 125 ml (½ cup) plant milk

    Instructions

    For the pancakes

    • In a large bowl combine the buckwheat flour, salt, cream of tartar & bicarb soda.
    • Add the maple syrup, plant milk & tahini and mix until you have a smooth batter.  It will start bubbling up quite quickly due to the bicarb & cream of tartar. 
    • Add a tiny bit of oil to a non-stick frying pan and put it onto a medium heat on the hob. 
    • Pour a small amount of the batter out onto the frying pan. (You choose how big you want your pancakes!) 
    • When the batter bubbles, flip the pancake & cook on the other side. 
    • Repeat with all the other pancakes. 

    To make the sauce.

    • Heat a small pan of water and put a larger heat proof bowl over it.
    • Add into the heat proof bowl the chopped up white chocolate, tahini & plant milk. 
    • Wait until the chocolate starts to melt, then stir until you have a smooth sauce. 

    To serve

    • Stack the pancakes with berries & pour over the white chocolate tahini sauce.
