BUCKWHEAT PANCAKES WITH FRUIT AND CHOCOLATE

Pancakes for breakfast are a suitable alternative to classic breakfast cereals or porridges. People with food intolerances and allergies do not have to give up this delicacy. Preparing the pancakes is easy, the only difference is in the pre-preparation of the batter, which you can mix the night before. The advantage of such pancakes is that they are gluten-free, egg-free and dairy-free, simply ingredients that are very common allergens.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 200 ml of rice drink, or almond or spelt drink. If you don't have a milk allergy, you can also use milk. And if you don't have any drink at home, you can make pancakes with water
  • 100 g buckwheat flour
  • 5 g rapeseed oil for roasting
  • 3 g sea salt
  • 30 g raspberry jam or other to taste
  • 10 g quality dark chocolate
  • 10 g nuts to taste
  • 140g fresh fruit

PROCEDURE:

Mix the buckwheat flour with the rice drink to make a smooth dough and let it rest, covered, on the kitchen counter for 4 hours. The flour binds well with the liquid and therefore no eggs are needed. You can lightly salt. After 4 hours, bake 4 pancakes on a non-stick pan. Spread the pancakes with raspberry jam and fill with sliced fruit. Fold them over and sprinkle with grated dark chocolate and chopped nuts. If you don't want pancakes with fruit, make them with cottage cheese, or savoury with avocado and vegetables.
