Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Raw cashews (soaked for 2-3 hours and drained)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 small Garlic clove
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 0.25 cup Water
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a blender, combine the spinach leaves, all-purpose flour, almond milk, eggs, olive oil, and salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and has a vibrant green color. Set the batter aside to rest for 10 minutes.
While the batter rests, prepare the cashew filling. In the same blender (cleaned), combine the soaked and drained cashews, lemon juice, garlic clove, nutritional yeast, water, salt, and black pepper. Blend until the mixture is creamy and smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease it with a small amount of olive oil or non-stick spray.
Pour about 1/4 cup of the crepe batter onto the skillet and quickly swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to curl and the bottom is lightly golden.
Carefully flip the crepe and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes as you go.
To assemble, spread a generous amount of the cashew filling onto each crepe and roll or fold as desired.
Serve the crepes warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
