These berry crepes make a healthy breakfast, brunch or dessert. They are super yummy…and good for you too!

Servings: 6
Preparation time: 12 minutes

2 eggs
2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
Stevia liquid drops, to taste (I use about 10 drops)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (can substitute almond extract)
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons coconut flour, sifted
small pinch of nutmeg
pinch of cinnamon
1/3 cup whole milk (can substitute regular coconut milk*)
1-1/2 cups blueberries (or other berries)
Whipped cream

In a medium bowl with a wire whisk, beat together the eggs, oil, stevia, vanilla, and salt. Mix in sifted coconut flour, nutmeg and cinnamon; stir in milk.

Heat an 8-inch skillet over medium heat. When hot, melt a tiny pat of butter, coconut oil or palm shortening in the pan. Pour 1/8 cup of batter in the skillet and swirl around in pan until a thin layer of batter covers the bottom. The crepe should be about 6-inches in diameter.

Cook 1-2 minutes, or until batter is bubbly and cooked around the edges. Flip the crepe and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes more, or until done.

Fill the crepes with the berries, top with a little whipped cream (see recipe below), and if you wish a light dusting of coconut flour.

Makes about 6 crepes.

Homemade Whipped Cream

1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Liquid stevia or sugar

In a medium bowl (stainless-steel is preferable), whip heavy cream until stiff peaks are just about to form. (You can do this by hand with a wire whisk, or with an electric mixer; just make sure the beater and bowl are clean and cold for best results.) Beat in vanilla and sweetener until peaks form. Do not over-beat or the cream will become lumpy (and you will actually have butter).

* For coconut milk make homemade coconut milk or use 1 teaspoon of coconut cream concentrate for every 6-8 oz of water for coconut cream milk. Mix together and use as directed.

Is the Stevia needed? I'm asking because I do not have any. Thanks

No, it's not. You could just use a tiny bit of honey or sugar to replace or omit all together.

How much coconut flour? 2 TBSP seems a little skimpy...

# Posted By jen | 3/10/10 5:41 PM

Yes, that's the right amount. Coconut flour absorbs a lot of liquid, and the batter needs to be thin.

Instead of Stevia, try blue agave. Delicious sweetener.

Agave is also heavily processed like high fructose corn syrup. Not much better for you. :(
