using myfitnesspal.com these came out to about 100 calories each. I did only use 1 Tbsp of oil and 1 Tbsp applesauce or pumpkin puree instead of 2 Tbsp oil.

These Vegan Buckwheat Banana Pancakes are naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, and sweetened only with fresh fruit. Bake them to save time and get breakfast on the table faster!
INGREDIENTS
- ½ cup buckwheat flour (store-bought or ground groats)
- 2 very ripe bananas, about ¾ cup mashed
- 2 tablespoons olive or coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF, if you plan on baking the pancakes. If you'd like to grind your own buckwheat flour, simply pour raw buckwheat groats into a coffee grinder and grind until a fine flour-like texture is achieved, about 30 seconds. Measure the flour after grinding. (86 grams of groats made 86 grams of flour - or half cup)
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas (a few lumps are okay), then add in the ground buckwheat flour, oil, water, cinnamon, vanilla, baking soda, and vinegar. Stir well to create a fairly uniform batter. It will be slightly thicker than traditional pancake batter, not quite as runny.
- To bake the pancakes, scoop the batter using a scant ¼ cup measure, creating about 6 evenly sized mounds on a large lined baking sheet. Use the back of a spoon to spread the pancakes out, creating pancakes that are roughly 5- or 6-inches in diameter, and about ¼-inch thick. Bake until the centers are firm, about 15 minutes at 350ºF.
- If you prefer to pan-fry the pancakes, pour the scant ¼-cup of batter into a greased skillet over medium heat, and use the back of a spoon to flatten the pancake into your desired size and thickness. (About 5 or 6 inches wide) Allow the top to bubble and the edges of the pancake to dry, about 4 or 5 minutes, then flip and cook through on the other side.
- Serve warm, with fresh fruit and pure maple syrup, if desired.
Here is how to bake them :)
Here are my pancakes. :) i think these would also be amazing as a desert. You could top them with cream and fresh berries and use as a shortcake.
