Coconut Crepes with Blueberries

Oh, my.  That’s all I could say after one bite of these.


You will never believe they are dairy free, sugar, free, and gluten free, and pack a decent punch of protein.  Usually you have to follow up a list like that with “taste free.”  Oh, not these.  Oh did I say fast?  They are fast to make and easy.

If you are a Trim Healthy Mama these are an S.  If you are a Fit Yummy Mummy, these are supportive. Very.

I don’t have a stove right now, or much of a kitchen.  If you are a new blog reader, click on the “kitchen remodel” tag on the right and catch up with our drama.

It’s hard to make crepes without a little non-stick pan and a stove.  But I’ve just proven it can be done…..in the microwave.

Oh don’t throw things.  Usually microwaved food is gross and some of you are convinced it’s poison.  (I’m aware.) But a girl’s gotta do what she can to survive.

This is survival food?  Really?

Coconut Whipped Cream

First you are going to make your coconut whipped cream.  Refrigerate a can of full fat coconut milk overnight.  (I just store mine in the fridge straight from the store so I’m always ready.) Open the can and carefully pour off the coconut water into a measuring cup, and scoop the thick cream into your electric mixing bowl.

Add a few dashes of nunaturals pure stevia extract or a few drops of liquid stevia sweetener.  And a tsp of vanilla extra.  Beat for 5-7 minutes or until peaks form.  I scooped mine into an old cool whip tub (Shhh–I know, but I don’t buy it anymore--as of today.)  Then chill until ready to use. Heat will make the whipped cream deteriorate so keep it cold.   Once you taste this stuff you are going to want to eat the entire batch with a spoon right then.  Let me just warn you that it has about 500 calories in the whole bowl–so save half for later.

Coconut Crepes

Next mix up your crepe batter:  You’ll need 3 eggs, 1/2 cup milk (Use the coconut water that you drained off the cream and add enough almond milk to make up the difference.); and 2 Tbs of coconut flour.  That’s it!  Beat it all together and press out any lumps with your fingers.  Make it smooth. A blender works even better.

Place a scant 1/3 cup of batter onto a large well-greased plate and microwave on high for 90 seconds.  Boom.

Gently loosen it from the plate with a thin silicone spatula. And flip it over (the ugly side is on the bottom.) Let it cool a bit then top with whipped coconut cream and 1 cup of blueberries.  Fresh are awesome, but previously frozen (now thawed) are good too.)  Wrap up so the pretty side shows.

Add FULL FAT canned coconut milk to your shopping list right now.  Go ahead, I’ll wait.  Dirty Don’s had some last week for $.75 a can.  I’m kicking myself.  I’m going to go back and see if they still have it, because  someone ate all my cream.
