Recipe 1: Whole Wheat Banana Crepes
Made with whole wheat flour and ripe bananas, these crepes are a great way to start your day on a healthy note. The whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients, while the bananas provide natural sweetness and potassium. To make these crepes, you will need:
– 1 cup whole wheat flour
– 1 ripe banana, mashed
– 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
– 2 eggs
– 1 tablespoon honey
– A pinch of salt
– Cooking spray or a small amount of butter for greasing the pan
Start by whisking together the whole wheat flour and salt in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the mashed banana, milk, eggs, and honey. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until well combined and no lumps remain. Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid.
Recipe 2: Spinach and Mushroom Savory Crepes
For a savory option, these crepes filled with spinach and mushrooms are a delicious and nutritious choice. Spinach is rich in iron and vitamins, while mushrooms add a savory and earthy flavor. To make these crepes, you will need:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
– 2 eggs
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– A pinch of salt
– 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
– 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
– 1 clove garlic, minced
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Cooking spray or a small amount of oil for greasing the pan
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, milk, eggs, and olive oil until smooth. Let the batter rest for about 15 minutes. In the meantime, sauté the spinach, mushrooms, and garlic in a pan with a little cooking spray or oil until softened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
