Gluten-Free Buckwheat Blueberry Vegan Crêpes
Tender buckwheat crêpes studded with fresh blueberries, naturally sweetened with organic cane sugar and bound with chia seeds. Gluten-free and entirely plant-based, these delicate pancakes use tapioca starch for structure and rest for proper hydration. Cooked until golden on both sides and served with maple syrup.

- 4

- 5
Pour 1/3 cup batter per crêpe onto the skillet over medium heat.
- 6
Cook approximately 2 minutes per side until set.

Tips
Resting the batter allows chia seeds to fully absorb water, creating better structure and texture.
Use medium heat to prevent burning the exterior while the interior cooks through.
Good to Know
Refrigerate cooked crêpes in an airtight container up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet.
Prepare batter up to 2 hours ahead and refrigerate. Cook crêpes just before serving for best texture.
Stack warm crêpes and drizzle generously with maple syrup. Optional: top with fresh blueberries, coconut cream, or fresh fruit.
Common Mistakes
Undercooking batter due to insufficient resting—allow chia seeds full hydration time to bind properly.
Using high heat—medium heat prevents burned exteriors with raw centers.
