Baked Pumpkin Buckwheat Breakfast Cakes for Two

I baked these flavorful little breakfast cakes yesterday that are meant for two, but I hoarded them both for myself. I loved the one I ate so much for breakfast yesterday, I ate the other one for breakfast today.

The buckwheat flour gives these cakes a hearty texture and all of the spices and pumpkin give it a great warm flavor. These went perfectly with a hot cup of tea.

You can top these with maple syrup, honey or even a little whipped cream. I mixed some honey and chopped apples into greek yogurt and loaded it on top of the cake. You get a little extra fruit and protein into your day topping it with the greek yogurt and apples.
