Ingredients

For the peaches:

  • 4 Peaches pitted and sliced into quarters
  • 2 Tbsp Coconut sugar
  • 1 Tbsp Honey

For the pancakes:

  • 1/4 Cup Slivered almonds
  • 1/2 Cup Dairy-free vanilla yogurt (or dairy)
  • 1/2 Cup Unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 1/4 Cup Coconut sugar
  • 3 Eggs separated
  • 3/4 cup Buckwheat Flour (115g)*
  • 3/4 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/8 tsp Salt
  • 3/4 tsp Cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
  • Pit your peaches and cut them into halves. Then, cut each half into quarters (so you end up with 32 slices)
  • Place the peaches, cut side down, in a large greased baking dish, so that they slices are nice and cozy and close together in a single layer.
  • Sprinkle with coconut sugar and pop into the oven for about 25 minutes, until the peaches are tender.
  • Once tender, Take the peaches out and drizzle with 1 Tbsp honey. Then, turn your oven to HIGH BROIL, and broil until the peaches just begin to caramelize. Watch them closely as they burn fast!
  • Take out, and let cool.
  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees, and toast the almond slices until lightly golden. About 5-7 minutes. Crush them up a little bit and set aside. 
  • In a large sized bowl, beat together the yogurt, almond milk, coconut sugar and egg yolks. Set aside
  • In a medium bowl, mix the buckwheat flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and toasted almonds.
  • In a separate medium sized bowl, beat the 3 egg whites on HIGH with an electric hand mixer, until stiff peaks form. About 3-4 minutes. Make sure to clean the beaters really well before doing this, or the egg whites won't fluff up! 
  • Slowly add the flour mixture into the yogurt mixture and mix until combined.
  • Gentle fold in the beaten egg whites, and mix until the batter is just moistened.
  • Heat a griddle to medium heat. Use 1/4 cup scoops to cook the pancakes until the underside is golden and the top begins to bubble, about 3-4 minutes. Flip once and repeat.  Make sure you stir the batter in the bowl as you cook, as the egg whites will start to deflate and water it down.
  • Serve immediately, topped with honey roasted peaches. 
  • DEVOUR!
