Healthy Dairy Free Crêpes

I love crêpe pancakes! They are one of my favourite treats that I can enjoy guilt-free. I love just throwing ingredients together and seeing what happens and this recipe was exactly that, throwing together these ingredients made such a lovely and healthy crêpe for the whole family to enjoy.

In the last 6 months I have stopped drinking/using milk in my diet. I had noticed that after I consumed milk, I felt sick, sluggish and my IBS would kick in. I now use a nut milk alternative, Almond milk in particular. At first I really wasn't sure that I could keep using Almond Milk in my diet as the taste is very different from milk, but the more I consumed it the more I liked it and now I LOVE it!

If you have never tried Almond milk, here are few of the benefits:

- It provides you with Calcium, Vitamin D & Vitamin E

- High in good Fats & Omega Fatty Acids (This is great for me as I don't eat a lot of oily fish)

- Full of Antioxidants

- It is a low Carb

- No Cholesterol

- No Saturated Fat

- Great for Weight Management

- Good for Digestion

- and is Lactose Free

These are great benefits and Almond Milk is a great product to have in your cupboard for a cooking and baking ingredient alternative.

So here is my Healthy Dairy Free Crêpe recipe..

INGREDIENTS

(Makes 6-8 crêpes)

100g Self-raising Flour

300ml Almond Milk

2 Large Eggs

1tbsp Organic Coconut Sugar

Organic Coconut Oil for frying

Toppings

2 Apricots, remove the kernel and sliced

Almond Flakes

Granola

Honey

METHOD

In a large mixing bowl add all the ingredients and whisk until you have created a nice smooth batter

In a small or medium frying pan (depending on how big you want the pancakes) add a little coconut oil with a teaspoon over a medium heat

Using a piece of kitchen paper smooth the melted oil around

Using a ladle pour some of the pancake mix into the hot pan enough to cover the base (not too thick)

Cook for a couple of minutes on each side

Once cooked add a little honey on each crêpe and fold into quarters

Serve on a dinner plate with a drizzle of honey, apricots and a handful of almond flakes and granola

Enjoy for breakfast or as a post gym-snack/meal..
