» Buckwheat Crêpes (sustainable)

Cooking Time 40 minutes 

Makes 6 crêpes 

 The best crêpes are freshly made, golden brown, and lacy-thin. We put a hint of cinnamon in our delicate Buckwheat Crêpes, which taste great at any time of day, not just breakfast.

Ingredients Buckwheat crepes presented on a plate with blueberries

  • 3/4 cup (100 g) buckwheat flour 

  • 3 tablespoons tapioca starch 

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 

  • Pinch of salt 

  • 1/2 cup (100 ml) almond milk 

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons coconut oil 

  • 1/2 cup (100 g) plain soy yogurt 

  • 2/3 cup (100 g) fresh blueberries 

  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup 

Instructions 

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°F (95°C). 
  2. Whisk together the buckwheat flour, tapioca starch, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the almond milk with 3/4 cup (200 ml) water. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. 
  3. Melt 1/4 teaspoon of the coconut oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Use a 1/4-cup (60 ml) measure to pour crêpe batter into the pan. Tilt the pan so the batter spreads in a thin, even layer over the whole surface. Cook the crêpe until golden brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes for each side. Remove the crêpe from the pan and place on a baking sheet in the oven to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining coconut oil and batter. 
  4. Divide the crêpes between two plates. Serve topped with yogurt, blueberries, and maple syrup. 

Tip: If you leave out the cinnamon, you can serve these crêpes with savory toppings, too. We are partial to spinach sautéed quickly in a drizzle of olive oil.
