Banana buckwheat chia pancakes

These pancakes are high in fiber for a healthy digestive system. They are also free of three common allergens, wheat, eggs and milk!

2 medium bananas, peeled and mashed
1 tablespoon cold-pressed canola oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup buckwheat flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1. In a small bowl, combine chia seeds and 6 tablespoons water. Stir. Set aside at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes or until gel forms.
2. Preheat griddle to 350 F.
3. In a large bowl, combine remaining water, mashed bananas, oil, vanilla and chia mixture (made in step 1). Mix. Add flour, baking powder and cinnamon. Mix gently until dry ingredients are just mixed in.
4. Spray griddle with nonstick cooking spray.
