Rhubarb compote over buckwheat pancakes

Since fruit bloats me (fructose intolerance) I was looking for something fruitlike to satisfy a craving...rhubarb is related to buckwheat so I gave it a try. It is technically a vegetable. The results were wonderful!

I found frozen rhubarb, nothing added, in my grocery store. I simmered it with real maple syrup. Ladled over my buckwheat pancakes, it made for a wonderful breakfast!

Pancakes

1 cup GF organic buckwheat flour

2 tab. arrowroot starch

1 tab. baking powder

sea salt

cinnamon

1/2 cup sunflower seed milk

1/2 cup water (more or less for thickness preference)

vanilla

2 tab. olive oil

Let rest for 10 minutes then cook on a lightly greased griddle. Flip. ENJOY!

Buckwheat potato starch pancakes

Good morning! I was told by someone who read my blog that tapioca is not good for Hashimoto people. I decided I would now replace tapioca starch with potato starch when cooking and baking. I had not had my beloved buckwheat in a long time so I set out to make buckwheat pancakes...I also decided to use water and not try to use a nondairy product. Call me crazy, I like to experiment, sometimes it turns out good and other times, not so good. LOL

Guess what? This time...GREAT!

I mixed 2 cups of buckwheat flour with one -two tablespoons of potato starch, salt, four teaspoons of baking powder, 2-2 1/2 cups water, 1-2 tab. olive oil, some agave syrup, and that's it! i let it set for awhile before ladling portions on a medium heated lightly oiled griddle...this made a dozen puffy pancakes. I served mine with coconut oil, cinnamon, and real maple syrup.

HOMERUN!

buckwheat pancakes and more

I am going crazy with buckwheat and loving it...going grain-free with an occasional serving of rice now and then as the exception I am embracing the non-grain buckwheat like it is my saving grace. I made pancakes again except this time I tweaked it...here it is...yum! Ycan eat them as pancakes or like flatbread make a sandwich with them...very versatile...bag them, store them to eat another day.

mix
1 cup buckwheat flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 Tabs of tapioca flour
1 cup almond milk
2 Tabs of Agave syrup
2 Tabs of olive oil

Whisk it all together and pour onto greased medium heated griddle...cook until some bubbles form. then flip over but spray the griddle while flipping so it won't stick...cool on a wire rack. ENJOY!

Yes, grain-free is the way for me and avoiding foods that cause inflammation too...so add potatoes and tomatoes and peppers to my longgggggggggg list of foods that are not my friends. i have Hashimoto's which is an autoimmune disease and am on meds for hypothyroidism and want to feel the best I can feel...SO GLAD I KNOW WHAT I AM UP AGAINST FINALLY!
