Strawberry Crepes are a delightful and healthy twist on a classic breakfast or dessert. These thin, tender crepes are made with a blend of whole wheat and oat flours, making them more nutritious and flavorful. They’re filled with a luscious mixture of fresh strawberries, chia seeds, and a hint of lemon juice, creating a naturally sweet and satisfying treat. Serve these crepes warm for a perfect balance of lightness and flavor, and consider garnishing with extra strawberries or chopped nuts for added texture and freshness.

For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

30 grams whole wheat flour
30 grams oats flour
1 large egg
150 ml milk
1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
100 grams sliced strawberries
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

Procedure:

In a small bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, chia seeds, and lemon juice. Let the mixture sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb some moisture and thicken slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, egg, milk, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth. The batter should be thin and pourable.
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of coconut oil.
Pour a small amount of batter into the pan and tilt the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.
Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip and cook for another 1 minute on the other side. Remove and repeat with the remaining batter.
Place a crepe on a serving plate. Spoon a portion of the strawberry filling onto one half of the crepe. Fold the crepe over to cover the filling, or roll it up if you prefer.
Serve the crepes warm, garnished with additional fresh strawberries or a sprinkle of chopped nuts if desired.
