These Buckwheat Crepes are surprisingly easy to make, with only a few ingredients, while resulting in wholesome thin, and a little bit spongey crepe "wraps". They contain no added sugar, so are perfect for either sweet or savory fillings.
Buckwheat (actually not related to wheat, and contains no gluten), is a healthful grain, containing gut-friendly fiber and a low glycemic index, giving it staying power for your energy levels. I used dark buckwheat flour in this recipe, which has a slightly nutty and earthy flavor. Similar to brown versus white rice, darker buckwheat flour has the husk of the seed remaining, therefore more fiber.
Crepes are a surprisingly great meal-prep item. If you love sandwiches, but get a little tired of the basics, try crepe wraps instead! They are a fantastic gluten-free, vegan bread substitute and will really elevate the standards. Make a stack of crepes, store them refrigerated with a piece of parchment to separate layers, then remove one or two as needed. My favorite is a Buckwheat Crepe BLAT (using Coconut Bacon, lettuce, avocado and tomato).
The ways to fill crepes are endless. Think both sweet (from breakfast to dessert), to savory. Here are a few ideas:
Breakfast Buckwheat Crepe with Pumpkin Spice Almond Butter, banana (use green for low-FODMAP), pumpkin seeds and hemp seeds (shown above).
BLAT - Coconut Bacon, lettuce, avocado, sliced tomato
PB&J - Peanut butter, and Strawberry Chia Jam, or Raspberry Chia Jam
Chocolate hazelnut butter, banana slices, plant-based whipped cream, and sliced almonds
S'mores version - Melted dark chocolate and vegan marshmallows
Artichoke Spread with lettuce and sliced tomato
Tofu Ricotta and Sun-Dried Tomato Pate, with lettuce and sliced cucumber
Brazil Nut Pesto with Tofu Ricotta, lettuce and sliced olives
Fill with Caesar Salad
Buckwheat flour is low-FODMAP. These crepes are gluten-free, vegan, and low-FODMAP. Enjoy!
