Buckwheat is a very healthy alternative that is not a grain. I been using Buckwheat in pasta dishes, making crapes and waffles. The taste of buckwheat is very earthy, dense and rich. I think this is one of those dishes that the more I try the more I like it. Most recently I added poppy sees and lemon juice to my buckwheat waffles and they turned out heavenly. Here are some of my creations. Enjoy.
My buckwheat waffles recipe: 1 cup buckwheat flour, 1 tbsp sweetener of your choice I used monk fruit sweetener for mine, this is all optional of course. 1 tsp of baking soda and baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt, 3/4 tea cinnamon (alternate to this is 1 tbsp of poppy seed and one tsp of lemon juice), 1 and 1/4 cups almond milk, 1 and 1/4tbsp of apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup walnut oil or oil of your choice, 1 egg or egg substitute. First mix almond juice and apple cider vinegar together let it sit for about 5-10 minutes. Them mix all wet ingredients together and separately mix all dry ingredients together. Combine , let it sit for about 5 minutes then follow your waffle maker instructions for making the waffles. You can also add 2 tbsp of blue or yellow cornmeal as an option I like the taste that provides. Extra waffles can be put in the freezer. Enjoy.
