Vegan Crepes

When I am bored, I love to bake. I love trying new recipes, creating my own recipes, and just relaxing as I focus on the creation I’m making. I did not grow up cooking or baking much. I ate mostly T.V. dinners, hot pockets, or the occasional pot roast. We were not the picture of healthy eating😬.

When I got married, I did not know how to make anything! I’m not kidding! I had no idea how to cook chicken in the oven, or even how long to boil noodles for pasta. It was embarrassing! My husband did all the cooking at first until I learned how. I mostly learned by trial and error (a lot of error), and cookbooks that I would find at the thrift store. Googling something wasn’t a thing back then😆.

Now I love cooking and baking, I do it every single day, and I’m much better at it. I still have things that don’t turn out right, but most of the time they do. I modify just about every recipe I find to make a healthier version of it, and I love finding new ways to change up a recipe. I have attended several cooking classes, and went through nutrition school, so cooking/baking has become apart of who I am, besides fitness of course!

I really enjoy crepes. I love the versatility of them, and how easy they are to make. However, I don’t like how unhealthy they can be, so making my own gives me the ability to change that. If you want a healthier crepe to make at home, try out the recipe below.

Ingredients:

1 3/4 flour ( I used bread flour)

2 3/4 almond milk ( I used Califia Farms milk)

1 tsp vanilla

1 tbsp sugar ( I used organic raw sugar)

Directions:

Heat 1 tbsp coconut oil in a small pan. Mix ingredients well until the batter is smooth and without lumps. I whisked mine for a few minutes. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into pan and gently rotate pan to allow batter to spread out. Cook until bubbles start to appear and then flip. Cook another minute or two until done. They should be very lightly browned. Repeat until all of your batter is gone.

Filling:

You can fill a crepe with just about anything! I heated frozen fruit on the stove until it became soft and gooey. Then I filled each crepe. You can make sweet or savory crepes. I chose sweet crepes for today.

Lay your crepe out and fill with whatever sounds good to you! I don’t know the technical way to fold a crepe, so I did 2 different styles. Both taste good, so it doesn’t matter how you fold them in my opinion.

Let me know if you try these!
