Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond milk
- 1 cup Water
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Chickpea flour
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil, melted
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 14 ounces Silken tofu
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
Instructions
In a blender, combine almond milk, water, all-purpose flour, chickpea flour, 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil, and salt. Blend until smooth and let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with coconut oil.
Pour about 1/4 cup of the crepe batter into the pan, swirling it to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges lift with ease and the underside is lightly golden.
Flip the crepe and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
In a food processor, blend silken tofu, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth to create the filling.
Place a crepe on a clean surface, spoon about 2 tablespoons of the tofu mixture along one edge, fold over the sides, and roll up like a burrito.
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the blintzes seam-side down and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Serve warm, with your choice of toppings like fresh berries or fruit compote.
