Apple Cinnamon Crepes
Ingredients
- 1 cup oats ground into flour or oat flour (90 g) (*see recipe notes)
- 1/2 cup rice flour (80 g) (*see recipe notes)
- 4 tbsp cornstarch or tapioca flour (32 g)
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar or brown sugar
- 1 tbsp ground flax seeds or chia seeds
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups plant-based milk (360 ml)
- 1 small banana (80 g) (*see recipe notes)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice or lime juice
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- oil for frying
- apple filling
- 3 apples, peeled, cored and chopped
- 3 tbsp coconut sugar or brown sugar
- 2 tbsp plant-based milk
- 1/2 tbsp lemon juice or lime juice
- 1/2 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Preparation
To make the crepes simply put all dry ingredients into a bowl and stir with a whisk
Process all wet ingredients (except the oil) in a food processor or blender
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir with a whisk to combine
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes
Heat a little bit oil in a small/medium sized non-stick skillet (mine has an inside diameter of 5 1/2 inches)
Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet, swirl the batter around to coat the pan evenly
Cook for about 2-4 minutes or until you can easily lift a side of the crepe (don't try to flip the crepe too early)
After you flipped the crepe, cook for a further 1-2 minutes
After a while, the batter will get thicker, so you might need to add a splash of milk
Continue until you have no batter left
To make the apple filling, put all ingredients in a skillet, stir and let simmer for a few minutes over low/medium heat
Add a few tsp of filling on each crepe, roll it up and serve with a drizzle of caramel sauce (see recipe below)
Enjoy!
Notes
You can use regular oats or gluten-free oats
To make oat flour, simply process the oats in a blender or in an electric coffee/spice grinder
Instead of rice flour, you can use any other flour e
Buckwheat flour, quinoa flour, even all-purpose flour (if not gluten-free)
Do not use coconut flour though as it's very absorbent
You can use 80 g of applesauce instead of banana
