Patty Cake

IMG_2201Blog

There’s only one patty cake better than patty cake cats.

Buckwheat bakes! Ashley invented them last year and features a beautiful array of flavors and mixes on her blog.

I made a few combos earlier this year – Banana Bread, Fruit Pie, and Chocolate Banana and determined I like the microwaved flax egg version the best – it’s the doughiest and easiest and quickest to make!

Today’s version – a Christmas-y Pumpkin Spice!!

Pumpkin Spice Buckwheat Bake

The pumpkin spice version of Edible Perspective's buckwheat bakes
Servings 1 Bake
Author Kath Younger

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup buckwheat flour
  • 1 tbsp buckwheat groats
  • 1 tbsp ground flax mixed with 2 tbsp water to make a flax egg let sit for 3-4 mins
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • pinch salt
  • Sprinkles of cinnamon nutmeg + ground cloves

Instructions

  • Make flax egg
  • Mix dry ingredients
  • Add wet ingredients
  • Grease ramekin
  • Add batter to ramekin
  • Microwave for 1 minute 45 seconds

IMG_2210Blog

Toppings included holiday sprinkles, banana and Flying Squirrel PB Cocoa-Nut – my latest fav!

IMG_2205Blog

Pumpkin Ice Cream tea topped with milk froth

IMG_2216Blog

I want to try to make a buckwheat bake with pancake mix soon – I bet it would be gooey delicious! The buckwheat is a bit earthy in taste, and whole wheat or oat flour is bound to be a little sweeter.

Have a great Tuesday!!

    I make something similar that is popular in Slovakia called “cheddra” it’s somewhere between a cake and a molten cake. This looks soooo delicious.

    I’ve been making the flax version all the time lately! Such a quick option to get something HOT in my belly right after waking up. I’ve done away with the flax egg though. Just add it right to the dry ingredients and a tiny bit more milk. Yum yum!

    I love Ashley’s buckwheat bakes, I’ve tried almost all of them. I hope you play around with a pancake mix one, that would be outrageously delicious I bet and perfect for when I’m too lazy to grind the buckwheat. 🙂

    I’ve never baked/ cooked with buckwheat before but your pictures alone [no words necessary] have sold me to try it! But Q: could you use an egg vs. a flax egg?!

    Reply
    • KathEats says

      December 6, 2011 at 10:27 am

      Yup! Ashley’s versions used eggs, but I’ve found that they are too spongy and I prefer them doughier

      Reply
      • tara says

        December 6, 2011 at 10:49 am

        I might try it with the egg (just one whole egg? or more?) because I would prefer something spongier over dense.

        Would this work as well as quinoa or oat flour?

        I’d throw it in a big tub of yogurt Kath!

    i do something similar with oats. When Ashley started posting those bakes, they always looked so good..but I always defer to the shortest timespan possible, i.e. the microwave 🙂

    love yours with the nut butter and what a festive post! red and green!

  18. Lauren @ Oatmeal after Spinning says

    How fun and festive- I love the colors! I was wondering if Oat flour would work (that’s what I use most often) and then you mentioned it near the bottom of your post. I’ll let you know if I try it out.

    Random question- have you tried savory oats (maybe you have a recipe for them?) I made them for the first time last night and was skeptical… but they were so good!!

    • KathEats says

      December 6, 2011 at 10:42 am

      Yes, Ashley has one with oat flour!

      I have done savory oats, but they are not appealing to me for breakfast!

        I could never have them for breakfast, that does not appeal to me either. I made them for dinner- they were like risotto!
