Almond Flour Crepes with Lemon and Powdered Sugar
Almond flour adds healthy fats, protein, and essential nutrients to the crepes, promoting satiety and supporting overall health. The use of unsweetened almond milk and minimal added sugar keeps the crepes light and low in carbohydrates. Lemon zest and fresh lemon juice add a refreshing citrus flavor without adding significant calories.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup almond flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter (or coconut oil for a dairy-free option)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Pinch of salt
- Butter or oil for greasing the pan
- Fresh lemon juice, for drizzling
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
INSTRUCTIONS
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, eggs, unsweetened almond milk, melted butter (or coconut oil), vanilla extract, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Mix until you have a smooth batter.
Allow the batter to rest for about 10 minutes to thicken slightly.
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Grease the skillet with a little butter or oil.
Pour about 1/4 cup of the crepe batter onto the skillet, swirling it around to form a thin and even layer.
Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes on each side or until lightly golden.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter until all the crepes are cooked.
Serve the Almond Flour Crepes with Lemon and Powdered Sugar warm.
Drizzle fresh lemon juice over the crepes and dust with powdered sugar.
TIPS
If you prefer sweeter crepes, you can add a little more powdered sugar or drizzle with honey or maple syrup.
Fill the crepes with your favorite fruit, such as berries or sliced bananas, for added taste and nutrition.
Top the crepes with a dollop of Greek yogurt or whipped cream for a creamy touch.
Be mindful of portion sizes, especially if you add high-calorie toppings or fillings.
Enjoy the Almond Flour Crepes with Lemon and Powdered Sugar as a delightful breakfast or dessert option during your weight loss journey.
