Servings: 4 | Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cook Time: about 3-4 minutes per crepe | Ready in: 40 total for all crepes

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup Bob's Red Mill ground flax seed
• 3/4 cup filtered water
• 1 1/2 cups Bob's Red Mill organic whole wheat flour
• 1/4 cup maple sugar or granulated cane sugar
• 1/8 tsp sea salt
• 1/4 cup Spectrum avocado oil
• 1 3/4 cups Thai Kitchen light coconut milk
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• Fillings: Fresh Fruit, Jam, Cinnamon Sugar, Shaved Dark Chocolate
• Powdered Sugar for topping (optional)

Instructions

Instructions:

1. To make the crepes, mix together the flax seed and water in a bowl.
2. Whisk together the sugar, flour, and sea salt in a bowl, then whisk in the oil. Slowly whisk in the milk little by little to make sure the mixture stays free of lumps. Next, whisk in the vanilla, followed by the flax mixture you had set aside.
3. Heat a non-stick ceramic 6 inch pan over medium heat, then pour in 1/3 cup batter, and swirl the pan so that it spreads out to the edges.  Cook for about 3 minutes on the first side, then flip over and cook the second side. Once the crepe is done, set aside on a plate.  Repeat with the remaining batter, separating the crepes with parchment paper on the plate so that they don’t stick together.
4. To serve the crepes, fill them with desired fillings, and dust them with powdered sugar (optional)
