Ayurvedic Buckwheat Pancakes
Nov 26th 2009Ayurveda & Holidays & Home & Recipes
One of my favorite things to do on Sunday mornings
(or on holidays) is to make a cozy, yummy brunch.
Pancakes remind me so much of my childhood
(my parents used to make them for me and my sisters
every weekend morning). So, in my adulthood, I
continue this ritual, but I, of course, revamp it with a
healthy twist….
So, here’s my favorite recipe for Ayurvedic pancakes.
As Ayurveda is the healing sister science of yoga,
these pancakes are warming and grounding–perfect
for balancing the “air” element in all of us when temperatures
start to drop and the winter winds are blowing!
All the ingredients are good for you—and the pancakes
actually feel really light in your belly after you eat
them (so your energy’s not zapped for the rest of the
day).
