Gluten Free Breakfast Crepes

Once I find something I like, I have a tendency to eat the same thing day after day. Therefore, I make a concerted effort to discover new recipes and modify them to diversify my meals! The Gluten Free Breakfast Crepe is a modification of a recipe I found on the website for Pamela’s Baking and Pancake Mix. This YogaLean meal is a great way to start you day! The beauty of the crepe is that you can fill it with a variety of ingredients. Each crepe you make for yourself can be different and each crepe made for a family can be filled with ingredients that fit personal tastes. If you are using this before a workout, add additional protein. Enjoy this Gluten Free Breakfast!





Ingredients:
1 Cup Pamela’s Baking & Pancake mix
3/4 Cup Milk of your choice (I used Almond Milk)
1/4 Cup Water
1 Large Egg
1 TBSP Oil (I used coconut oil)
1 TBSP Vanilla Flavoring (I used vanilla flavored gluten free protein powder but you can use vanilla extract or substitute almond extract)
1/2 Cup Ground Flaxseed Meal (I use Bob’s Red Mill)
Additional oil for the pan (I used Walnut)

Instructions: (Makes 4-6 crepes)
Combine ingredients and remove as many “lumps” as possible
Heat the pan with a small amount of oil
Scoop 1/4 Cup of the batter and add to the hot pan. Turn the pan in a circle trying to get batter to form a thin layer on the bottom of the pan.
Use a spatula to start to lift the edges and make your way, carefully to the center. (Add additional oil of batter sticks…start conservative…add more as needed)
Carefully flip crepe. Cook 1-2 minutes on the second side.
Serve or cover with a cloth or parchment and make additional crepes.



Filling Suggestions:
Peanut Butter (ANY Nut or Seed Butter) and Chia Jam
Scrambled Eggs…garnish with fruit
Brie and Figs…garnish with walnuts and honey
Butter the crepe and sprinkle with powdered sugar (child’s favorite)
Fresh Fruit…garnish with Chia Jam
Cream Cheese…garnish with fresh fruit
Applesauce…sprinkle with cinnamon to garnish
Banana and Nutella…garnish with banana
Banana and Nut or Seed Butter…garnish with banana
