buckwheat pancakes

this is probably the best example to how lazy and cheap my food is.
I looked for this recipe everywhere and would only find ones with strange ingredients like flax eggs and flax meal and blahblah superfood and i thought that my lack of money would never get my pancakes to be good.
This one is for everyone who simply has no time to make flax seeds eggs or get flax meal and money for weird super foods.

hi !!

Hello everyone !
i'm never sure how to start these but i should probably start by introducing myself- I'm Laura, i'm 15, i have 6 dogs, a cat, a rat, a hermit crab and a clown fish. i like nut butter, mexican and mostly breakfast foods. I was born, raised and currently live in South Florida (side note: don't ever think about living here) I've gotten many questions on my recipes and i thought it would be easier if i put them all here for you since it seems a lot more organized and i don't have to answer the same "how do you make your pancakes" question every day.

I'm recovering from diagnosed Anorexia Nervosa on a vegan diet and i'm loving every second of it. I hope that making this blog will help a lot of you open more to veganism and see that it doesn't have to just be kale and bananas, though i personally wouldn't mind if that were. Or if you're just seeking for super simple recipes that don't require crazy super foods you have to dive the bottom of a volcano for.

I'm really not a good cook at all but i hope i can inspire some of you to even make something better out of my recipes.
Enjoy :)
