Ingredients
Scale
Crepe Batter
- 1 cup tapioca flour (tapioca starch)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup almond milk (or preferred milk)
- 1 tbsp melted coconut oil (+ extra for cooking)
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Toppings
- 1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1/2 cup plain or vanilla yogurt (optional)
- Additional honey or maple syrup for drizzling
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together tapioca flour, all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt until evenly combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, almond milk, melted coconut oil, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
- Make the Batter: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to create a thin, smooth batter with no lumps.
- Heat Skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with coconut oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook Crepes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, tilting it to spread the batter evenly across the surface. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to lift and the bottom turns a golden color. Carefully flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
- Stack Crepes: Transfer the cooked crepes to a plate, layering with parchment paper between each to prevent sticking while you cook the rest.
- Add Toppings: Serve the crepes topped with mixed berries, a spoonful of plain or vanilla yogurt if desired, and finish with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. Serve immediately for best taste.
Notes
- You can substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour to keep this recipe gluten-free.
- Use any plant-based milk if you prefer a dairy-free option.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey or maple syrup according to your taste.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.
- Ensure the skillet is not too hot to avoid burning the crepes; medium heat works best.
- Crepes can be made ahead and gently reheated with a quick warm-up in the skillet or microwave.
