Time to read: 4 mins | Time to make: 20 minutes | Yields: 12 crêpes

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups (180 g) spelt flour

• 1 tablespoon chia seeds

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

• 1 tablespoon maple syrup

• 1 cup (240 ml)  sparkling water

• 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened soy milk

• zest of one lemon (optional)

• Coconut oil for frying

 Serve:

• Homemade Nutella

• Homemade Sweet Vanilla Cashew Butter

• Berries, sliced

• Banana, sliced

Method

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, chia seeds, baking powder and salt.

   Add  maple syrup, sparkling water and non-dairy milk. Whisk well until smooth and well combined. Finally zest one lemon.

2. Let it sit for few minutes for chia seeds to soak up some liquid and expand.

3. Heat a small or medium sized, non-stick pan to medium heat. Once hot, add a tiny amount of coconut oil tablespoon to the pan. Once melted, add about ~1/4 cup of the batter to the pan. Immediately pick up the pan and rotate it to move the batter into a thin circle.

4. Cook until the top looks fairly dry, about 1 minute. Using a spatula, carefully flip the crepe over and cook for 30 seconds on the other side. Remove from pan and repeat with the rest of the batter.

5. Serve crepes with delicious homemade spreads like Nutella or Cashew Spared and sliced fruit. 

Notes

Sparkling water makes crepes even lighter but is not necessary. If you don't have it on hand, use regular water.

Zest of lemon is optional but recommended. It will add freshness and flavor.
