Fair Trade Coconut Crepes
Don’t let the fancy French name fool you; crepes only sound hard to make. This tropically-inspired rendition from Food for my Family blogger Shaina Olmanson is no exception. Made with Fair Trade Certified™ coconut flour and coconut oil, these thin, melt-in-your-mouth pancakes come together in minutes, are dairy- and gluten-free, and support better livelihoods for coconut-farming communities. Serve with sliced Fair Trade Certified strawberries and melted chocolate for an easy dessert or brunch treat that you can feel good about feeding your loved ones.
Ingredients
- 4 Tbsp Fair Trade Certified coconut flour
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup full fat coconut milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp Fair Trade Certified cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 1 Tbsp Fair Trade Certified coconut oil for frying
Preparation Instructions
Serves 3-4
Prepare the batter
- Sift the coconut flour into a bowl. Mix in the eggs one at a time. Slowly stir in the coconut milk until smooth. Add the vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
- Allow the batter to rest for at least 30 minutes for the coconut flour to absorb the liquid.
Make the crepes
- Melt the coconut oil in a crepe pan or skillet and swirl to coat. Pour 2-3 Tbsp of batter onto the skillet and use a flat spatula to spread it into a thin, approximately 8-inch circle. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until lightly browned on the bottom.
- Use the spatula to flip the crepe and continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from pan.
- Repeat the above two steps with the remaining batter.
- Serve the crepes with fresh Fair Trade Certified berries and your desired toppings.
