I’m not much of a cook, admittedly. However, the hubby has been working extra long hours lately so I’ve been testing my skills in the kitchen. It wasn’t exactly what I set out to make, but this week I created an amazing (really!) breakfast from scratch: Gluten Free Nutella Breakfast Crepes.
I was trying to make regular pancakes, but we didn’t have any mix, so I combined what was left of a box of gluten free all-purpose flour and a bag of almond flour. I mixed it with the usual pancake ingredients and voilà — I had a bowl of super-runny batter.
I had used every bit of flour in the pantry, so there were no do-overs. I just had to go with it and see what happened. I poured the batter on the Griddle Pan
Since they were so thin, my pancakes cooked very quickly, but they didn’t look half bad! In fact, they rather looked like crepes you might find at a breakfast restaurant and they tasted like it too. They were actually really tasty, even on their own with no toppings.
Because I love Nutella, I stacked four crepes on each plate, spread Nutella between each layer and poured about a tablespoon of real maple syrup on top for good measure.
WOW! Now they really were amazing! Lilu obviously agreed — she ended up eating seven(!) of them. I was so happy that I had cooked a successful breakfast that I fed her as many as she wanted.
Here’s the recipe if you’d like to try to create them on your own (I got about 20 in one batch):
- 1 Cup Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
- 1 Cup Almond Flour
- 2 Eggs
- 1 3/4 cups Almond Milk
- 3 Tablespoons Coconut Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Turbinado Sugar
- 1 1/4 Teaspoon Baking Powder
- Pinch of Sea Salt
- Whisk all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.
- (You may want to heat the coconut oil so it is in liquid form for better mixing.)
- Pour 1/4 cup scoops onto skillet.
- Flip when tiny bubbles appear throughout (about 2 minutes per side).
A bonus to this recipe is that these Gluten Free Nutella Breakfast Crepes cook faster than regular pancakes and don’t require any special effort. I made mine smaller than traditional crepes (which generally fill an entire pan), but only because I wasn’t brave enough to try flipping them! You could absolutely create large, foldable crepes, and I may just do so next time!
