| Raw Buckwheat Groats | 160 gr | 2/3 cup | Make sure you're using hulled non roasted buckwheat.They'll be a light brown or a little greenish in color. Hulled buckwheat groats have a mild taste which is perfect for baked goods. | |
| Water | 125 ml | 1/2 cup | Plus more if necessary | |
| Egg | 1 | 1 | ||
| Brown Sugar | 30 gr | 1 tablespoon | ||
| Ground Flaxseeds, optional | 3 gr | 1/2 teaspoon | After mixing the batter, let it rest for 10-15 minutes. This allows the flaxseeds to absorb some of the liquid and thicken the batter slightly. During this time, you can assess if additional water is needed. | |

Steps:
- Rinse Buckwheat (2/3 cup), then add to a large bowl and cover with twice the amount of water. Soak for at least 6 hours, or overnight. Rinse them once or twice during soaking if possible.
- When it comes time to use them, drain and rinse the buckwheat groats very well.
- Put all ingredients into a blender: soaked Buckwheat, Water ( ½ cup), Egg, Brown Sugar (1 tbsp), Ground Flaxseeds (1/2 tsp), Ground Cinnamon (1/2 tsp), Salt and blend until smooth.
- Let it rest on the counter for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat (for at least 5 minutes). This step is very important, so crepes will not stick to the pan! The pan should be heated to medium before adding the batter. If the heat is too high, the batter won’t spread to the edges of the pan before setting, and can result in holes or uneven thickness.
- Brush the pan lightly with oil. Coat the pan with about 1/3 cup of crepe batter, cook until the edges start to brown, then flip the crepe. Cook for 10 more seconds and remove from the pan. Continue with the rest of the crepes, adjusting heat up or down and lightly oil the pan, if needed. You should yield 8 crepes.
- Best served when fresh! Enjoy your delicious crepes with the added nutritional boost from flaxseeds! They're perfect for a wholesome vegan breakfast or snack.
