As you guys know I have a serious sweet tooth. Since I've been on this weight loss journey. I've cut back so much on my sugar intake. Since, I reached my weight loss goal. I've tried to merge healthier alternatives to some of my favorite sweets. I've never had an authentic crêpe. However, I've tried making them at home and they're so yummy! I played around with a couple of recipes and ended up creating one that better suites my sweet buds. I love that this is a healthier alternative and it doesn't need the use of flour which I've tried to stay away from since April. I make my own oats flour at home which doesn't require much time to make and is great for my baking needs. I've even made pancakes, chocolate breakfast cake and flourless zucchini bread with my oats flour and it taste divine. Prior to this weight loss journey. I would not have ever guessed how I could still have my favorites at home guilt free.
I made the crepes with a coconut whipped cream which was super easy to make and was so yummy as well. I plan on sharing that recipe on the blog soon so stay tuned.
Are you a fan of crepes?
