Gwyneth Paltrow's Vegan Buckwheat & Banana Pancakes

Props to Gwyneth for sharing this delicious pancake recipe on her GOOP blog.

INGREDIENTS:

    * 1 1/4 cups fat free soy or rice milk
    * 1 tablespoon lemon juice
    * 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    * 1 tablespoon maple syrup, plus more for serving
    * 1/2 cup buckwheat flour

    * 1 teaspoon baking soda
    * 1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour or white spelt flour (substitute rice flour to make pancakes completely gluten-free)
    * 1/2 teaspoon salt
    * 2 bananas, thinly sliced

PREPARATION:

   1. Mix all the wet ingredients together in a small bowl.
   2. Mix all the dry ingredients together in a slightly bigger bowl.
   3. Add the wet to the dry and stir just enough to combine – be careful not to over-mix (that’s how you get tough pancakes).
   4. Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat (I love Jamie Oliver’s nonstick cookware – it’s so slippery that I don’t need to use any oil or butter).
   5. Ladle as many pancakes as possible onto your griddle.
   6. Place a few slices of banana on top of each pancake.
   7. Cook for about a minute and a half on the first side or until the surface is covered with small bubbles and the underside is nicely browned.
   8. Flip and cook for about a minute on the second side.
   9. Repeat the process until you run out of batter.
  10. Serve stacked high with plenty of maple syrup.
