Gluten Free Dairy Crepes

by

Crepes are a versatile and elegant dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or even dessert. Whether you’re craving something sweet or savory, these gluten and dairy-free crepes are a light and delicious base for your favorite fillings.

ngredients:

  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour (preferably one with xanthan gum)
  • 1 ¼ cups unsweetened almond milk (or any dairy-free milk of choice)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil (or neutral-flavored oil)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional for sweet crepes)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (for sweet crepes)
  • A pinch of salt

  • Instructions:

    1. Prepare the Batter:
      In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the almond milk, eggs, coconut oil, and vanilla (if using). Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth and lump-free. Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate.
    2. Heat the Pan:
      Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a bit of coconut oil or cooking spray.
    3. Cook the Crepes:
      Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the center of the pan, swirling it around to evenly coat the surface. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip gently and cook for another 30-60 seconds. Remove and repeat with the remaining batter.
    4. Serve:
      Stack the crepes on a plate and cover them with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm. Fill with your favorite gluten and dairy-free toppings such as fresh fruit, nut butters, savory vegetables, or dairy-free yogurt.

    5. Tips:

      • For savory crepes, omit the maple syrup and vanilla and add a pinch of herbs or spices to the batter.
      • The batter should be thin. If it thickens as it rests, add a tablespoon of almond milk at a time until the right consistency is reached.
      • Leftover crepes can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for longer. Reheat in a skillet or microwave.

      Enjoy these light, delicious crepes that cater to your dietary needs without compromising on flavor!
