In a blender, combine the whole wheat flour, almond milk, eggs, vanilla extract, salt, and melted butter or coconut oil. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and free of lumps. Allow the batter to rest for 10 minutes while preparing the jam.
For the jam, in a small saucepan, combine the pitted dates, berries, water, and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until the berries are soft and the mixture has thickened slightly.
Use a potato masher or fork to mash the mixture until it reaches your desired jam consistency. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
To cook the crepes, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and grease lightly with a little butter or coconut oil. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling the pan to spread the batter evenly.
Cook for about 1-2 minutes on the first side, or until the edges begin to lift slightly and the bottom is golden brown. Flip the crepe and cook for an additional 1 minute on the other side. Remove from the pan and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the crepes warm, topped with a generous spoonful of the sugar-free berry jam. Enjoy immediately.
