So I made something yummy tonight. So yummy that I couldn’t help but smile in satisfaction and everyone in the house ate two plates full. Coolest part, I actually made up the recipe. I don’t make up recipes. I destroy made up recipes more often than not.
But here’s the problem: they are NOT vegan. So delicious I want to share but my dear blogging friends have gone crazy vegan on me! 🙂
Here’s the challenge friends….
Can you make these vegan and still tasty? Feel free to amend and report!
Whole Wheat Coconut Milk Crepes
2 cups WW flour
1 cup white flour (or 3 WW pastry flour? I was all out)
3 cups coconut milk
*8 eggs* (non-vegan ingredient)
pinch sea salt
Mix together one ingredient at a time, in order. Lightly grease skillet with coconut oil. Flip away.
The ww flour makes them a little thicker than the average crepe but they are still thinner than a heavy wheat pancake. The eggs make them a bit fluffy.
We ate these in 2 rounds, it’s becoming a tradition. Round one: savory. Round two: sweet.
Round one
Avocado
Cherry tomatoes, halved
Feta cheese
Crumbled Bacon
Round Two
Berry Sauce– Made by filling a small sauce pan with mixed berries, vanilla agave nectar to taste and a bit of cinnamon. Cook down on medium. Divine
Slivered Almonds
Kiwi, cut in chunks (we love bananas on round two but my 2-year-old attacked them earlier in the day)
We didn’t have any in house, but cream cheese (vegan or non) would be a tasty addition. Or whipped cream. Mmm.
So there it is. Take it or leave it. Or even better, eat it.
Ha Ha! I don’t know if crepes can be veganized, though it’s certainly a challenge to consider. methinks their texture, thinness and so forth must come from eggs. Although as you can see with my last post, I have been wrong before 😉
mmmm I love crepes. My favorite way is butter, lemon juice and powdered sugar. As for veganizing, my friend sent me the “Veganomicon” cook book and it has a vegan recipe. I haven’t tried it, but will post as soon as I get a chance. It looks good.
I was wondering about veganized crepes today since Costco has some lovely belgian ones already made and I was tempted for S’s birthday. I know that french toast does NOT veganize well, so we’ll have to see what crepes do with some experimenting.
I googled vegan crepes, tons of recipes so apparently it can be done.
