Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.25 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional, for sweet crepes)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt. Mix well to distribute evenly.
Step 2
In another bowl, whisk together the unsweetened almond milk, eggs, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract if using.
Step 3
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking continually to form a smooth batter. Ensure there are no lumps for a seamless crepe texture.
Step 4
Once combined, set the crepe batter aside for at least 15 minutes to rest and allow the flour to absorb fully.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with a bit of coconut oil.
Step 6
Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the skillet. Immediately swirl the skillet in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly to the edges.
Step 7
Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and lightly brown. Flip the crepe using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 1 minute.
Step 8
Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil to the pan if needed.
Step 9
Serve the crepes warm with your favorite fillings, whether sweet like fruit preserves and nut butter or savory like sautéed vegetables and tofu scramble.
