Peel and core the apple and pear, then chop them into small cubes (approx. 5 minutes).

In a small saucepan, combine the chopped apple and pear with the cinnamon and sweetener. Add 20ml of water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is soft and breaks down slightly, about 8 minutes.

While the compote simmers, whisk together the buckwheat flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the plant milk and a dash of sweetener if desired.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix (approx. 3 minutes).

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour quarter-cup portions of batter onto the hot pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. You will need to cook in batches (approx. 7 minutes total cooking time for pancakes).
