Gluten Free Buckwheat Crepes For Mother's Day

The Tasteful Pantry shared this awesome Mother's Day gluten free breakfast recipe with me and I had to re-post. It is a simple (kid and Dad-proof) recipe that is perfect for celebrating Mom this weekend. The recipe is free from sugar, and can be made savory or sweet depending on what you like. I personally like to top them with fresh fruit and coconut milk whip cream, but you can also go the bacon and egg route too. Added bonus, these crepes can easily be made dairy free.

INGREDIENTS (makes about 12 crepes):
1 1/4 cups buckwheat flour
3 large eggs
1/4 cup vegetable oil plus additional for skillet
3/4 cup nonfat milk (or alternative milk like almond or coconut for non-dairy)
1 1/4 cups (or more if needed for consistency) water
1/4 teaspoon salt

METHOD:

Place the flour in a medium bowl. While continuing to whisk, add in eggs, 1/4 cup oil, milk, 1 1/4 cups water, and salt.

Heat a 10-inch-diameter nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; brush the pan with oil (not too much or the oil will start to spatter – be careful with the hot pan!)

Add 1/4 cupful batter to the pan; tilt it around to coat the entire bottom of the pan.

Cook the crepe until it’s golden on the bottom (you’ll have to lift a tiny bit of it up to peek), adjusting the heat down to prevent burning, 30 to 45 seconds.

Using a spatula, turn the crepe over. Using a wider spatula will make it easier to flip – don’t forget to be gentle! Cook another 30 seconds then transfer to a plate. Repeat with the rest of the batter, stacking crepes between sheets of plastic wrap.

Top with whatever toppings you think Mom will like! Get creative and have some fun with it!

Power Breakfast On-The-Go: Granola With Chia Flour And Almond Milk

When I don't have time to eat a good breakfast / lunch (I'm never hungry first thing in the morning), I throw together a quick granola bowl. One cup of granola, topped with a table spoon of White Chia Flour and a little almond milk and I am good to go — and full a good four hours.

I like Purely Elizabeth or KIND Snacks granola best, because they are totally gluten free and vegan. I try to keep the granola serving to one cup max because the calories can creep up on you. The real star of this meal however is the White Chia Flour. I get mine from Richard Helfrich (along with all my other Celiac Protocol supplements).

White Chia Flour
is a high-fiber, natural wholefood, which it is rich in antioxidants, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids beneficial for heart health. For anyone suffering from Celiac disease, IBS, Chrone's Disease or Colitis — or for those looking for an enhanced nutritional profile — Chia offers many benefits. It essentially acts like little scrub brushes on your upper and lower intestinal lining, helping to reduce inflammation.  It also  provides a large dose of much needed fiber, vitamins, and minerals that are usually lacking in a gluten free diet.

What makes this White Chia Flour different is the "Cold Fracture Process™" (CFP™), which unlocks all of the nutrients, protein, Omega-3 oils, fiber and antioxidants by fracturing the seed hull barrier. Thus, unlocking the nutrition contained inside by creating higher bio-availability as compared to the raw seed. By using the CFP™, none of the dense nutrition or any of the Omega-3 oil is lost.

I highly recommend giving White Chia Flour a try, it has made a big difference in my health over the last six months I have been using it!
