Who doesn’t love the combination of banana and nut butter?

Now try that in a crepe. Plus, they’re organic, gluten-free, sugar-free and dairy-free.

The filling

I’ve filled these crepes with my chocolate avocado pudding which I shared with you a little while back, and organic strawberry chia jam (see recipe below). The great thing about these fillings is you’re now loading the recipe with healthy superfoods, like avocado, chia seeds, and collagen.

I love encouraging others to eat healthy

In case you guys haven’t noticed, hahaha. And making these crepes for my friends and family is the perfect way to do that. Because they’re so damn good! It’s very convincing. I mean who says healthy food can’t be yummy too?

So if you’re looking for the perfect brunch recipe to enjoy with family and friends, or just need ideas to mix things up for breakfast, this recipe is great to have on hand.

Very easy recipe

Plus, these crepes alone only take about 20 minutes to make, with ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen. And I’d just recommend prepping your fillings beforehand, if you’re serving guests, as those add a bit of time to the equation.

What's inside

Most of my ingredients listed below are organic and free-range, which is what I’ve used to make the recipe and encourage you to use also. But for convenience sake, if you don’t have all the below organic ingredients, feel free to substitute with regular eggs, for example, based on what you have to hand.

Here’s how I did it

Ingredients

Crepes

1 banana
2 tbsp organic peanut butter (or any other kind of nut butter, such as almond butter, cashew butter, etc.)
1 cup gluten-free oats, ground (you can also use regular oat flour if you don’t want it to be gluten-free)(measure before grinding)
2 free-range eggs
1 cup organic milk (use almond milk, coconut milk or other dairy-free milk for dairy-free crepes)
1 tbsp organic maple syrup
Pinch of sea salt
Organic cooking spray (walnut oil or coconut oil)

Strawberry Chia Jam

4 tbsp organic strawberry jam
2 tsp white chia seeds

Directions

First prep your strawberry chia jam by combining your strawberry jam and chia seeds, and mixing until well combined. (You can also opt to use homemade jam here.) Then prepare your chocolate avocado pudding.

Next you’re going to mash up your banana in a mixing bowl. Then add your nut butter, ground oats, eggs, milk, maple syrup and sea salt and whisk together until well combined.

Then spray a 9-inch non-stick frying pan with cooking spray and warm up your pan at medium heat. Next pour in a 1/4 cup of the batter and swirl around to spread out the batter. Cook for 1 - 2 minutes, until edges start to curl up and lightly brown. Then flip and cook for approximately 1 minute on the other side.

Continue to do this until you’ve used all your batter. Then add your chocolate avocado pudding, strawberry chia jam and banana slices to fill the crepes. And top with maple syrup, strawberries, blackberries and blueberries, or any toppings of your choice. And you’re all done!

Spectacular! This is wonderful! I am so glad I found your stuff. Steemit is such a great place. I was just stumbling around in the #food on PALS discord and I found this amazing recipe by @natashahall. The Last Sage said lets just take a look and here I am.

My wife and I live a plant based whole food diet and I am always delighted to find recipes that are suitable to us. You do fantastic work! You have a new follower @thelastsage.

Peace

Thanks so much! I love finding other healthy foodies on steemit :) You have a new follower as well. Cheers!

Those look really good. Do they really only take twenty minutes, and are you sure that is your mom?

Yep, the crepes themselves are just 20 minutes, but as mentioned, you should prepare the fillings beforehand. Yep that's her :)

You've got really nice recipes and this is one of my favourites. Ive never manage to make one myself. Keep steeming and you've got a new fan @natashahall . Have a great weekend.

Thanks so much! You too :)

Looks delightful. I have never made crepes before but it looks just as easy as pancakes!

Thanks! Yes it is! I think crepes are actually easier than pancakes. Don't have to worry about them cooking through, as they're so thin.

Nice! Chocolate avocado pudding. That sounds really good!

You are very right dear friend @natashahall we should all try to eat healthier, many thanks spor share this wonderful post
Have a great day

Thanks @jlufer! You too :)

Your mom looks like she is too young to be your mom. Sister?

Lol, I'll be sure to tell her you said that :)

The photo was taken four years ago, when I was much younger, lol

Wow that all looks great! I would have to substitute PB for sunflower or soy butter, no big deal.

Thanks! Yeah, whatever floats your boat. Glad you enjoyed it :)
