WITH MAGNOLIA RHUBARB COMPOTE

Crepes have been a staple in my Scandinavian household since I was born. Known to my family as Finnish pancakes with a twist, these delicate thin pancakes are rolled up with a bitter/sweet/spicy magnolia rhubarb compote. The crepes are gluten free and made using oat flour and loaded with fibre, antioxidants, vitamin C, B vitamins, calcium and magnesium.

Adding edible and medicinal flowers to recipes is one of my tricks to add more nutrients into the body.
