Ingredients
Servings
12
- 3/4 cup buckwheat flour
- 1 medium (about 100 g) carrot
- 1 tablespoon dill
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 3/4 cup water
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons mild apple puree or mashed banana
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- a pinch fine sea salt
Instructions
-
Prepare the flax egg by mixing 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons warm water in a small bowl. Set aside for 5-7 minutes until it thickens.
-
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the buckwheat flour, baking powder, finely grated carrot, chopped fresh dill, and ground cumin if using.
-
Add the thickened flax egg, water, 2 teaspoons olive oil, and mild apple puree (or mashed banana) to the dry ingredients.
-
Gently stir until a smooth, slightly thick but spreadable batter forms. Add water a teaspoon at a time if the batter is too thick.
-
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat and lightly grease with olive oil.
-
Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of batter per pancake into small 2-3 inch rounds onto the pan.
-
Cook about 3-4 minutes on the first side until bubbles appear and edges are set. Flip carefully and cook 2-3 more minutes until golden and cooked through.
-
Transfer pancakes to a plate and let cool slightly before serving to toddlers.
-
Serve warm or at room temperature as a soft-texture finger food snack or a healthy lunchbox addition.
