Healthy buckwheat crepes: Gluten-free recipe revolution

Crepes are light, nutritious, and free from ingredients that can be problematic for many people. Making crepes without flour and milk is not a feat; you only need one ingredient.

It might seem that making crepes without the main ingredients like milk and flour is a daunting task. However, it turns out that creativity in the kitchen has no limits, and making your favourite pancakes from almost nothing is also possible. This recipe is a true bombshell.

To make crepes without milk and flour, you need a cup of buckwheat groats and a bit of water. That's enough to create the perfect batter to become the base for wonderful, thin pancakes. This is an ideal solution for people who have excluded gluten from their diet for health reasons and those who are dieting or care about the high quality of their food. Buckwheat groats are a superfood, but unfortunately, they are often underrated.

Buckwheat groats are a precious diet component due to their nutrient-rich richness. They are a vibrant source of high-quality protein, B vitamins, antioxidants (especially rutin, which supports the circulatory system), and bioactive compounds such as D-chiro-inositol. These compounds help regulate blood sugar levels, which can be particularly beneficial for people with insulin resistance.

The fibre contained in buckwheat groats positively impacts the digestive system. It helps regulate bowel function and contributes to a feeling of fullness, which is especially important for people who want to control their weight. Furthermore, buckwheat groats are a rich source of minerals such as magnesium, potassium, iron, and copper. These minerals play crucial roles in the functioning of our bodies, influencing many different biological processes.

Ingredients:

      
• 1 cup of raw buckwheat groats,
• 2 cups of water,
• 2 teaspoons of clarified butter,
• pinch of salt.

Preparation:

    
1. It is best to prepare the buckwheat pancakes the day before. Pour a cup of water over the groats and let it sit overnight.
2. After this time, add another cup of water, melted clarified butter, and salt to the groats. Blend the ingredients thoroughly into a smooth batter.
3. Heat a pan well with a bit of fat. Fry the pancakes on both sides until golden brown.
