Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup tapioca flour (tapioca starch)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
- A pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup almond milk (or preferred milk)
- 1 tbsp melted coconut oil (+ extra for cooking)
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Toppings
- 1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1/2 cup plain or vanilla yogurt (optional)
- Additional honey or maple syrup for drizzling
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the tapioca flour, all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt to ensure an even distribution of the dry components.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with almond milk, melted coconut oil, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Form Batter: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to create a thin, smooth batter suitable for crepe-making.
- Preheat Skillet: Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with coconut oil to prevent sticking and to achieve a golden crust.
- Cook Crepes: Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread it evenly into a thin layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to lift and the bottom turns golden brown.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip the crepe using a spatula, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fully cooked and lightly golden on both sides.
- Stack Crepes: Place cooked crepes on a plate separated by parchment paper to prevent sticking and keep them warm.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Top the crepes with fresh mixed berries, spoon over yogurt if desired, and finish with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. Serve immediately for optimal freshness and flavor.
