I’m going buckwheat wild with all these Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat recipes. And I can’t stop raving about these Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat pancakes and how healthy they are. That’s because Himalayan Tartary is an epic seed. It may be one of the healthiest on Earth.
If you’re unfamiliar with the benefits of Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat, well let me fill you in. It’s a high-power superfood and phenomenally rich. It rocks over four bioactive compounds — rutin, quercetin, luteolin, and hesperidin — and a powerhouse free radical scavenger that regenerates cells (2-HOBA).
It also packs vitamins, minerals, polyphenols, prebiotics, and according to one report, it’s an ideal food:
“The grains of Tartary buckwheat are rich in proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals, as well as rutin, quercetin, and other flavonoids that other Gramineae crops don’t contain. Hence, Tartary buckwheat has considerable nutritional and medicinal values, which is considered as an ideal functional food source for humans.”
The scientist who founded the company that sells Himalayan Tartary here in the US — Dr. Jeffrey Bland of Big Bold Health — says it’s “the most immuneoactive, nutrient-dense plant yet discovered.”
Well it certainly boosts the value of tons of delicious recipes including pancakes, waffles, pizza crust, blueberry muffins, stacked vegan banana bread. However I always dilute it a bit because it has a powerful taste.

Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup organic flour.
- 1/2 cup Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat flour.
- 1/2 tsp stevia extract.
- 1 tsp date sugar.
- 1 ½ tbsp baking powder.
- 3/4 tsp pink salt.
- 1 ½ cups plant milk.

- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract.
- Optional 3/4 cup assorted fruit and/or nuts of your choice.
- Organic vegan maple syrup.
Instructions
- Mix the wet and dry ingredients in separate bowls.
- Pour the wet onto the dry and lightly whisk together, making it smooth but still granular.
- Spoon about a half cup or whatever size pancake you prefer onto a preheated skillet (I use cast iron).
- Cook the cakes on mid to lower heat until the top starts producing little bubbles, lifting and checking the underside to make sure it’s not getting overcooked.
- Flip and continue without over-compressing the spatula. Close monitoring, timely flipping, and heat adjustments are key.
- Cook to golden then stack and serve.
