I have always a slight obsession with French culture & food (we’re talking art, history, wine & macaroons). Then I went to France, experienced all the things, ate all the food, and came home wanting more.
Thus began my quest to create the perfect omelet and… flip the perfect crepe. And on top of that, flip the perfect gluten free buckwheat crepes.
Alas, after much trial and error I present to you the best gluten free crepe recipe made with buckwheat flour in a blender, with only 7 ingredients and comes together under 30 minutes.
Let’s make gluten free buckwheat crepes!
These crepes are:
Light
Smooth
Protein packed
Naturally sweetened
& easy-to-make
Pack my buckwheat crepes with your favorite yogurt (I suggest my coconut yogurt), nut butter, fresh fruit, or (if you’re feeling extra decadent) ice cream!
Serve these at your next brunch and wow your friends– they’ll never know a) that these pancakes were incredibly easy to make and b) that they are gluten free!
