 Vegan Buckwheat Crepes With Maple Sautéed Strawberries

When it comes to making crepes, I think, many people are intimidated by its process. And I know why; the first time i made crepes i had my "first pancake" effect. It's a part of learning process, but once you made a batch, you'll get the hang of it real soon.

As you probably know, recently I had a second baby. After a couple months of adjusting to a new routine, I'm ready to get back into my pre-pregnancy shape and I'm slowly trying to shift into healthier eating habits.

Buckwheat is a commonly used grain in Ukraine where I am come from. It's very healthy. We usually consume it in a form of porridge. That's pretty much the only way I used to eat buckwheat. 

Everything changed after my trip to France in the mid 2000s. We were exploring Normandy and one day we bumped into a cozy small cafe. I ordered buckwheat crepes with blue cheese for lunch. Crispy texture and slightly nutty taste made those crepes the best meal I've had in a very long time.

 Inspired by my trip, I want to share with you an awesome vegan and gluten-free recipe of Buckwheat Crepes with Maple Sautéed Strawberries. Whether you make them for breakfast, brunch or dessert, I promise, these Crepes are a bomb-delicious.

 To intensify the taste of my crepes, while shopping at Walmart, I picked up So Delicious Dairy Free®frozen dessert.

If you've never heard of them, let me tell you that So Delicious Dairy Free® offers an array of delicious dairy-free delights you can feel good about sipping, biting, pouring, scooping, licking, and chugging throughout your day. Many of their products are made with organic ingredients, and are always 100 percent plant-based and Non-GMO Project Verified with no artificial flavors, colors, trans-fats, or hydrogenated oils.
