Ingredients

Jam

• 1 bag of frozen organic raspberries, thawed
• 1-2 tsp white wine vinegar
• Pinch sea salt
• 1 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
• 1 tsp raw honey (optional)

Crepe

• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup plain unsweetened coconut or almond milk
• 3 tbsp coconut flour
• 3 tbsp arrowroot
• 2 tbsp coconut oil
• 1/8 tsp sea salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy coconut cream
• 1 tsp raw honey (optional)

Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Jam

Start by making the raspberry chia jam, which is a simple and tasty addition to your crepes. In a saucepan, combine the thawed raspberries, white wine vinegar, and a pinch of sea salt. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes juicy. Reduce the heat to low, stir in the chia seeds for 1 minute, then remove from heat. Transfer the mixture to a bowl to cool. If you like, stir in honey to sweeten and refrigerate.

Step 2: Make the Crepes

Next up are the crepes! In a blender, combine the eggs, coconut or almond milk, coconut flour, arrowroot, coconut oil, and sea salt. Blend until smooth and allow the batter to rest for 5-10 minutes to thicken slightly. Heat a small cast iron or stainless steel skillet and add a bit of oil. Pour 3 tablespoons of the batter into the pan, swirling quickly to spread it out. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the bottom is firm and lightly golden. Flip and cook for an additional minute. Transfer to a plate and cover with a towel. Repeat with the remaining batter. Pro tip: You can prepare the crepes ahead of time and keep them covered in the fridge for up to a day.

Step 3: Whip the Coconut Cream

To add an extra touch of indulgence, whip up some coconut cream. Chill a medium bowl and scrape the seeds from a vanilla bean (or simply use vanilla extract) into the bowl. Add the heavy coconut cream and honey, then beat with an electric mixer on medium-high until smooth and soft peaks form.

Step 4: Serve

Now it’s time to serve the crepes! Stack them on a plate, generously top with the coconut whipped cream, and spoon over the luscious raspberry chia jam. Your breakfast is now a feast to behold, and trust us, it tastes just as good as it looks!

Enjoy!

These Raspberry Chia Jam Crepes are not only incredibly satisfying but also packed with nutrients from the chia seeds and coconut. Whether you treat yourself or share them with family and friends, you’re sure to impress with this delightful recipe. Enjoy your culinary creation!
