Buckwheat Pancakes with Spinach and Eggs

Summary

Buckwheat pancakes are an excellent option for a healthy and fulfilling breakfast. When combined with deliciously sautéed spinach, eggs, and some herbs, it creates a well-balanced meal for the best start of the day. Due to its high content of protein and fibre, buckwheat gained enormous worldwide popularity.  Buckwheat seeds improve the digestive tract, support a healthy heart, and even help prevent diabetes. Furthermore, they are what is know as a pseudo-cereal and do not actually contain wheat.  That makes this dish wonderfully gluten-free! Buckwheat has been previously featured for mood-enhancing tryptophan and B6, both of which are instrumental in the production of serotonin – the happy hormone.

Spinach, on the other hand, is one of the world’s most powerful superfoods. It is an excellent source of dietary fibre, and various vitamins and minerals.  Top with protein-rich eggs, and within just a couple of minutes, this dish will provide everything your body needs to function properly throughout the day.
