Buckwheat Hoe Cakes with Fresh Banana

It’s almost without fail that every Sunday morning I whip up a giant breakfast for my troops.  It’s our one day of normalcy in our hectic lives and we all sit around our little breakfast table and enjoy a meal together before we head out for the day.

Also without fail is a jug of milk on the table.  My kids enjoy a cold glass with their meals and as a mom, I encourage it because it’s not only high in protein, but is packed with nutrients that help me and my family lead a strong healthy lifestyle.

One of our favorite breakfast items is Buckwheat Hoe Cakes.  Even the kids gobble them up!  These hoe cakes are light and airy and pair well with freshly sliced banana and a drizzle (or a geyser) of syrup.  My kids love them and I hope you will too.
