Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes about 20

Ingredients

¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter, plus more for pan
2 cups buttermilk
1 cup old-fashioned oats (not quick-cooking)
2 large eggs
½ cup buckwheat flour
2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon kosher salt
Pure maple syrup (for serving)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 200°. Melt ¼ cup butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring often, until butter foams, then browns (do not burn), 4–5 minutes. Let cool slightly.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, purée buttermilk and oats in a blender until smooth. Add eggs, buckwheat flour, flaxseeds, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Blend on high 30 seconds. Add butter and blend just to combine.

    Step 3

    Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium. Coat very lightly with butter. Working in batches, scoop about 3 tablespoonfuls of batter per pancake into skillet and cook until bottoms are golden brown and tops are evenly covered with bubbles, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook until cooked through and undersides are golden, about 2 minutes. Keep warm in oven and serve with plenty of syrup.

    Step 4

    Do Ahead: Pancakes can be made 2 weeks ahead; wrap in plastic and freeze.
