Notes

Keeping the raw patties in refrigerator/deep freezer will help them to retain their shape while cooking.
For better results with air fryer version,freeze the patties and cook them directly.
You may replace buckwheat flour with any other gluten free flour like quinoa flour.
Addition of sweet potatoes will increase the nutritional value but will result in less crispier patties..
You may replace bread crumbs with buckwheat flour to make this gluten free recipe
While using ghee/coconut oil on these patties, you will need to cook with your exhaust ON to avoid those extra smoke/fumes in your kitchen.
