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.

How to make simple crepes without flour and milk?

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.
