Deliciously Nutritious Buckwheat Crepes with Banana-Sesame Jam

Buckwheat crepes are the ultimate culinary secret for busy parents who want to impress without the fuss. These versatile delights can be whipped up in no time, making them perfect for breakfast or dinner. With just a short five-minute rest for the batter, you can have a nutritious meal on the table without extensive prep.

Rich in fiber and low on the glycemic index, buckwheat offers a delightful earthy flavor. This recipe, developed by an Executive Chef at Manhattan's New Museum, incorporates both buckwheat and all-purpose flour, resulting in a richer taste than traditional wheat crepes. The mixture can easily satisfy both sweet and savory cravings.

To create these crepes, blend eggs, milk, buckwheat flour, all-purpose flour, dark brown sugar, and salt until smooth. After a brief resting period, turn your attention to the banana-sesame jam. Cook ripe bananas with cardamom or cinnamon, sugar, and water until they reach a jam-like consistency, then mix in tahini and lemon juice for added flavor.

When it’s time to cook, simply pour the batter into a hot, butter-coated skillet, swirling to create thin crepes. Cook until golden, then fold in the banana jam for a delicious finish. Add banana slices or black sesame seeds for a touch of flair.

Best of all, the batter can be made up to three days in advance, making these crepes a perfect option for family meals.
