Gluten-Free, Coconut Flour, Berry Crepes
Servings: 6
Preparation Time: 12 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- stevia liquid drops, to taste (I use about 10 drops.)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (can substitute almond extract)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour, sifted
- small pinch of nutmeg
- pinch of cinnamon
- 1/3 cup whole milk (can substitute regular coconut milk*)
- 1–1/2 cups blueberries (or other berries)
- whipped cream
Directions:
In a medium bowl with a wire whisk, beat together the eggs, oil, stevia, vanilla, and salt. Mix in sifted coconut flour, nutmeg, and cinnamon; stir in milk.
Heat an 8-inch skillet over medium heat. When hot, melt a tiny pat of butter, coconut oil, or palm shortening in the pan. Pour 1/8 cup of batter in the skillet and swirl around in pan until a thin layer of batter covers the bottom. The crepe should be about 6 inches in diameter.
Cook 1–2 minutes or until batter is bubbly and cooked around the edges. Flip the crepe and cook the other side for 1–2 minutes more or until done.
Fill the crepes with the berries, top with a little whipped cream (see recipe below), and if you wish a light dusting of coconut flour.
Makes about 6 crepes.
Homemade Whipped Cream
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- liquid stevia or sugar
Directions:
In a medium bowl (stainless steel is preferable), whip heavy cream until stiff peaks are just about to form. (You can do this by hand with a wire whisk or with an electric mixer; just make sure the beater and bowl are clean and cold for best results.) Beat in vanilla and sweetener until peaks form. Do not overbeat or the cream will become lumpy (and you will actually have butter).
*For coconut milk, make homemade coconut milk or use 1 teaspoon of Coconut Cream Concentrate for every 6–8 ounces of water for coconut cream milk. Mix together and use as directed.
