Pros: Light fluffy pancakes like the Little House books!
Cons: Cost, packages are small
The Bottom Line: If price were not an option I would purchase Arrowhead Mills Pancake and Waffle, Buckwheat flavor more often.

| sweetcece's Full Review: Arrowhead Mills Pancake & Waffle Mix, Whole Grain ... |
Over a year and a half ago, I made a decision to purge my home of as many artificially produced items as possible. This led me to begin purchasing a great deal of products by Arrowhead Mills who has some of the finest quality products on the market including their Buckwheat Pancake and Waffle Mix.
Arrowhead Mills Pancake & Waffle Mix, Whole Grain Organic Buckwheat
Arrowhead Mills buckwheat pancake mix is just on of the many pancake products that I have purchased for my son. These products are very high quality, very easy to make in one bowl, and taste delicious. With the addition of various ingredients you can create varied tastes of these pancakes, and each package has recipes and very detailed instructions.
Amazingly these are some of the fluffiest pancakes ever. I had wondered after reading “The Long Winter” by Laura Ingalls Wilder what buckwheat pancakes tasted like, and how they could be as light as foam soaking up the syrup – and to be honest with you I didn’t believe that until I tried these!
Ultimately these are the most delicious pancakes that you could ever eat (well, with the exception of their other pancake mixes – ha ha) Needless to say, this is a highly requested item in my home and a favorite of my youngest son.
What’s Bad About This Product
Well, quite obviously the product is not bad – it’s one of the best on the market. However, here’s the main two things that I do not like about Arrowhead Mills Buckwheat Pancake & Waffle Mix.
First, is that the darned stuff is OUTRAGEOUSLY priced! And I am NOT kidding here! A two pound bag of this mix may cost you close to $5. Because of this issue, I absolutely refuse to purchase this product for full price. I usually try to hunt this up in the marked down cart at the Kroger store where I absolutely refuse to pay more than $2.75. I purchase it then and store it in a cool place or the freezer, where it lasts several months after the posted sell by/expiration date.
The next problem is that the package is only 2 pounds. That may sound like a lot, but it is NOT when it comes to the price factor.
And quite obviously some stores will not carry this brand as it is an organic food item and many stores have limited varieties of those types of products.
Recommendation
If price and money concerns were not as much of an issue, I would purchase Arrowhead Mills Buckwheat Pancake Mix more than I do now. It is a highly desirable product, with great taste. However, the main issue is value for the money, and because of that I cannot recommend this product for every day use when other healthy products of reasonable price are available.
