Notes

You can use all buckwheat flour for these pancakes or do as I've noted with part gluten-free or wheat flour.
To reduce sugar/carbs, use a sugar-free honey made with monk fruit. It's how I make my pancakes.
For oil, use either melted coconut oil, MCT oil, or a healthy neutral oil such as Zero Acre Farms.
