Crepes {Dairy-, Egg-Free}

1/2 cup almond milk, original or vanilla

1/2 cup water

1/4 cup Smart Balance Light {this is dairy-free} buttery spread, melted

1 T sugar

2 T maple syrup

1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla

In a large mixing bowl {I used my Kitchen Aid stand mixer with whisk attachment}, mix all ingredients together. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours.

Grease a 6 inch skillet with Smart Balance Light buttery spread {dairy-free} and heat until hot. Spoon 3 T of batter into the bottom of the pan and swirl around until bottom of pan is coated. Cook until edges of crepe are golden and top side edges start to 'dry', flip and cook til golden. Fill with desired filling, roll, top with your favorite drizzle or fruit and serve.

 

Strawberries and 'Cream' Filling

1 8 0z. Tofutti brand Cream Cheese {dairy-free}

2 T brown sugar

1 tsp vanilla

Soften cream cheese, mix in brown sugar and vanilla. Spread 2 T onto each crepe. Roll. Top with fresh sliced strawberries or All-Fruit Strawberry Jam. *You can even add 1 T of All-Fruit Stawberry Jam into the crepe for more strawberry flavor.*

 

Nutella Drizzle {This is NOT dairy-free}

Melt 1/4 cup of Nutella and mix with 1 T Almond Milk. Stir well. Drizzle over the top of the crepe.
