Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Crepes with Strawberries

Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Crepes with Strawberries

This has been a go-to staple for our family for years. It's a versatile recipe that can be modified easily for vegans, vegetarians, and plant-based folks alike!

 

 

 

Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons avocado oil for batter
  • 3–4 Tablespoons coconut oil or butter for the pan 
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour 
  • 1 Tablespoon raw sugar (I prefer coconut sugar or Just Panela cane sugar)
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) preferred plant-based milk, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup water, at room temperature
  • 2 large eggs (or chia eggs), at room temperature
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • Fruit for topping
  • Bōkas Chocolate Hazelnut Spread

Instructions

  1. Blend or whisk by hand the avocado oil, sugar, salt, milk, water, eggs, and vanilla. Add flour and the key is to mix until silky smooth.

  2. Cover the blender (or bowl) tightly and chill in the refrigerator for 30–60 minutes and up to 1 day. (Give batter a quick stir before cooking in the next step.)

  3. Cook the crepes: Use the oil for greasing the pan between each crepe. Place an 8 or 12 inch skillet over medium heat and generously grease it with some of the oil.

  4. Once the skillet is hot, pour 3–4 Tablespoons of batter into the center of the pan. Tilt/twirl the pan so the batter spreads as far as it can. The thinner the crepe, the better. Cook for 1–2 minutes, then flip as soon as the center looks dry and the edges begin to curl. Don’t wait too long to flip crepes or else they will taste rubbery. Cook the other side for 30 seconds until set.

  5. Transfer the cooked crepe to a large plate and repeat with the remaining batter, making sure to oil the pan between each crepe.

  6. Top or fill the crepes with your preferred fruit. Warm your Chocolate Hazelnut Spread and drizzle on top of crepes and fruit.

  7. Can double the recipe and save unused batter in fridge for several days.

  8. Alternately, unfilled crepes can remain fresh in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1 day or in the freezer for 1 month. It's helpful to freeze each between small sheets of parchment paper so they don’t stick.
