Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any milk alternative)
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil (for greasing the pan)
- 1 cup Fresh fruit (optional, for topping)
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, unsweetened almond milk, eggs, honey, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. The batter should be thin and pourable.
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with coconut oil.
Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the center of the pan, and quickly swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.
Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is lightly golden brown.
Carefully flip the crepe using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan lightly between crepes if necessary.
Serve the crepes warm, topped with fresh fruit, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or your choice of healthy toppings.
