Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1.5 cups Skim milk
• 2 Large eggs
• 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon Fresh mint leaves

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, skim milk, eggs, Greek yogurt, olive oil, vanilla extract, and salt until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain. Let it rest for about 10 minutes.

Step 2

While the batter is resting, prepare the lemon butter sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the lemon juice, honey, butter, olive oil, and lemon zest. Stir occasionally until the butter melts and all ingredients are well incorporated. Remove from heat but keep warm.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with a little olive oil or spray.

Step 4

Pour about 1/4 cup of the crepe batter into the skillet, quickly tilting the pan in a circular motion so that the batter evenly coats the surface.

Step 5

Cook for about 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to brown slightly and the crepe easily lifts from the pan with a spatula. Flip the crepe and cook the other side for about 1 minute.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and cover to keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.

Step 7

Serve the warm crepes drizzled with lemon butter sauce and garnished with fresh mint leaves.

Step 8

Optional: Sprinkle additional lemon zest or a light dusting of powdered sugar for extra flavor.
