Gwyneth Paltrow, healthy, vegan buckwheat & banana pancake recipe

Gwyneth Paltrow is the epitomy of a beautiful, sexy, healthy woman, and now she has a cool new website called GOOP

Funny name, right? 

It’s actually a fun place where she can  share her love of cooking, living, traveling, being and seeing.  It’s all about nourishing the inner aspects of life. 

Here’s a yummo recipe for buckwheat and banana pancakes that recently came in her newsletter.  In her own words: “I’ve got a thing for pancakes. This combination of nutty buckwheat and sweet, sticky banana is just great. You could sprinkle chopped walnuts on the pancakes as they’re cooking for a full-on pancake-meets-banana bread experience. These happen to be vegan, but don’t taste like it. Buckwheat flour adds a lot of value to the plain white flour – it’s rich in nutrients like calcium, iron, B vitamins and protein, and it’s gluten-free. Definitely worth a trip to the health food store.” [click to continue…]
