Crepes

Basic Crepe Recipe
I created this crepe recipe and oh how glorious it turned out to be. These are the exact ingredients and proportions that I used. The result was a tasty, perfectly pliable crepe. If you don't have coconut oil it should still work well, but I can't guarantee it will be the same :)

2 eggs
2 Tbsp sugar or 1 Tbsp honey (leave out if doing savory crepes)
2 Tbsp coconut oil
1 1/3 cup dairy or non-dairy milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour + 1/2 cup whole wheat flour

Heat 10-12 inch skillet on medium heat and spray with non-stick spray. Put all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth. Pour small amount of batter into pan (1/4-1/3 cup depending on size of pan) and twirl pan around clockwise until batter has been dispersed to all four corners. Cook for about a minute and then flip. Cook for another minute and then place on paper towel so that condensation does not cause sogginess. Fill with delicious toppings:

Sweet
  • Nutella + Bananas
  • 5 cups berries + 6 Tbsp cream cheese + 1/4 cup sugar
    • whip cheese and sugar first, then add berries.
  • Lemon juice + sugar
  • Apples + cinnamon + sugar = Apple Pie!
  • Pumpkin Pie
    • simply make a crustless pumpkin pie and after it is baked and cooled whip it for about 30 seconds, then fill crepes. 
  • Peaches +  a sprinkle of sugar
Savory
  • Scrambled eggs + breakfast meat (sausage, bacon, ham) or veggies + cheese
  • Egg salad
  • Chicken salad
