Probably old hat to you seasoned veterans but for any newbies thought I’d share this.

I can’t eat any kind of bread, my readings shoot up and stay there for hours, even before I was diagnosed I knew that bread made me feel ill and upset my tum.

recently discovered buckwheat pancakes - they have marginal effect on me, perhaps 2 points within first hour then straight back down to pre eating levels and taste nice.

3 tbsp buckwheat flour, 1 tbsp of almond flour, an egg, 75 ml milk, bit of baking powder and on the flat plate for a minute either side. topped with Greek yogurt and berries even my non diabetic partner says they’re a treat.

They sound good.
I remember the American Pancake House in Tottenham Court Rd, where they did both savoury and sweet pancakes. So you could have all sorts of things with them, chicken and avocado springs to mind as a good topping.

I’ll give that a go. They are however a little bit sweet as buckwheat is (I think it’s related to Rhubarb). Tried a leftover one today with omelette but it was a bit…. odd!
 
I made some of these today @SurreyFifties , and they were delicious. Had them with a big spoon of Greek yogurt and some blackberries and blueberries. Thanks for posting the recipe 🙂.
