Whole-Wheat Crepes

I've modified my grandmother's original crepe recipe to include whole-wheat flour and honey instead of sugar, and they are just as delicious! Enjoy these for breakfast, dinner, or dessert depending on what filling you choose—sweet or savory.

Ingredients

3 eggs
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 cup milk
3/4 cup water
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter (melted, + extra for cooking)

Cuisine

French

Steps

Put all ingredients in blender and mix well. Let stand about 15 minutes.
Melt and swirl around a small pat of butter in an 8 or 10-inch frying pan over medium heat.
Angle pan and pour enough batter on one side to thinly and evenly cover the pan. Very quickly swirl the batter around to cover the pan in one thin layer.
Immediately use your cooking spatula to push down the thin edges of the crepe around the perimeter.
After about 1 minute (and once it is golden brown on the bottom) carefully flip it over without tearing the crepe.
Fry for 1 more minute on the other side (until it is golden brown as well) and then roll up each crepe. Serve with 100% pure maple syrup.

Love love love these Crepes! My family really enjoys them and so do I. Super easy and clean products. I use gluten free flour and I follow the exact same steps. So much cheaper than going out and buying them too.

When I saw your note about a couple changed ingredients I thought, I knew Grandma didn’t use whole wheat! Thank you for helping make breakfast both delicious and healthy. This recipe made my day—came out perfect!

These were perfect! My daughter wanted to make crepes and I wanted a healthier option!. She filled hers with sweet and I went savory!

Excellent recipe. I do add a bit of white flour as well but I love how soft they are.

I made these a few weeks ago when short on groceries and there was no fruit left for afternoon snacks. I had no problem with the crepes sticking or breaking. I gave some to my husband while he worked and later asked him how they were and he said they were very tasty. We had them with maple syrup. Will continue to use this recipe for healthier crepes! Thank you!

We made these with a gluten free flour mix and maple syrup instead of honey in the batter. They were great and fun to make with my 6 year old daughter! The 1st one was a wrinkled mess but I got the hang of it after that.
