Phase 1 and Phase 3 breakfast variations

I have done 3 rounds of FMD and I can tell you one thing, to be honest any of the recipe in the cookbooks are not tasty(Phase 1 and Phase 2); Only exception is Detox Smoothie !

If you ask my advise if you want to do FMD, keep your meals very very simple and basic, whenever I have tried to be fancy and try any of the fancy recipes from cookbook I have failed miserably(I still cannot get over the chocolate mug cake fiasco!!)

But that doesn't mean I do not look out for new recipe(as I am really bored with existing choices and I take pride in the fact that I can eat same food over and over again and not very choosy in terms of flavors)

Here are some of my finds for buckwheat recipes which i found online -

Recipe 1(Phase 1)

Recipe taken from this blog post

Buckwheat Pancakes
Serves: 8 medium-sized pancakes
Ingredients:
1 cup buckwheat flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. stevia extract
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 egg white, beaten
1 cup rice milk
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

Instructions
Combine the dry ingredients in a big bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the egg, milk, oil and vanilla. Add to the dry ingredients and mix well. In a nonstick skillet or griddle, use 1/4 cup batter for each pancake. Cook about 2 minutes or until little bubbles start to pop on the top. Flip and cook for another minute or two or until brown.

Recipe 2 (Phase 3)

Vegan Buckwheat Waffles
Serves: 4-5 waffles
Ingredients
1 cup buckwheat flour
1 cup fine oats
1 tbsp baking powder (a level tablespoon, not a heaping one!)
1 pinch of salt
1 shake cinnamon (up to your liking)
1 tbsp powdered chia seeds
1¾ cup coconut milk (light, or any other milk of your choice)
1-2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp coconut oil

Instructions
Sift flour, mix in oats, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and powdered chia seeds.
Add 1 cup of coconut milk and stir well.
Add in maple syrup, coconut oil and slowly add in the remaining coconut milk until a smooth batter is reached (you might not need to add all of the liquid!)
Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes, as the powdered chia seeds will gel up and also the other ingredients will soak up liquid. The batter will thicken.
If the batter has become too thick after 5 minutes, add in some of the (remaining) coconut milk. The batter should be a bit thicker than what you would use for pancakes.
Notes
- My waffles are about 18cm/7inces in diameter, and the batter makes about 4-5 waffles for me.
- If you are celiac, make sure the oats are certified gluten-free, as they are sometimes contaminated!
