Best Whole Wheat High Fiber Crepes Recipes

WHOLE-WHEAT CREPES

Steps:

• Combine whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, milk and eggs in a blender. Puree for 15 seconds or until the mixture is complexly smooth. With the motor running, drizzle in 2 tablespoons melted butter and process until combined. Refrigerate batter 1 hour or overnight.
• Heat a medium crepe pan or small non-stick skillet over medium heat. Brush some of the remaining melted butter over the hot skillet. Using a scant ¼ cup, pour batter into the center of the skillet, and working quickly, tilt the skillet to allow the batter to run over the cooking surface to cover the bottom of the pan completely.
• Cook the crepe on the first side until it is golden and lifts from the pan easily, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip it over with a spatula and cook on the second side until just until set and lightly crisp along the edges, 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
• Slide crepe onto a plate. Continue cooking the remaining crepes and layer parchment between each crepe as you stack them.

WHOLE WHEAT HIGH FIBER CREPES

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in blender or mixer and beat well.
• Let stand 1 hour for perfect crepes. I usually don't do this, but they are nicer when I do.

BUCKWHEAT CREPES

Steps:

• Whisk eggs, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl. Pour in milk and whisk to combine. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups plus 2 1/2 tablespoons buckwheat flour and whole wheat flour, whisking to combine. Don't be afraid if the mixture looks too watery; it works well. Stir in 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.
• Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Brush the bottom with a little oil and pour in 1 ladle of batter in a swirl, so it spreads evenly into a thin layer. Cook until bubbles form and crepe is browned on the bottom, 1 to 3 minutes, then flip and repeat on the other side. Remove to a plate and repeat to cook remaining crepes, adding more oil as needed.

BASIC WHOLE WHEAT FRENCH CREPES

Steps:

• Note: If you want to make regular crepes, not using whole wheat flour, use 3/4 cup milk, 2 tbs cold water, and substitute 3/4 cup white flour.
• In a small bowl, beat the eggs, milk, melted butter, and salt until well combined-about 20 seconds.
• Sift the flour into a medium size bowl or a 2 quart measuring cup, then add the liquid mixture, beating until well combined-about 1 minute.
• Or blend the eggs, milk, butter, and salt in an electric blender or food processor for 15 seconds; sprinkle in the flour and blend until smooth-about 30 seconds.
• Cover loosely with plastic wrap; let stand for at least 1 hour refrigerated or at room temperature. (The flour will swell to make a softer batter.) Will keep, refrigerated, for up to 4 hours.
• Brush butter on the bottom of a crepe pan or heavy 7-inch skillet.
• Set over moderate heat for about 30 seconds or until a drop of batter sizzles.
• Stir the batter well, pour 2 tablespoonfuls into the skillet, and quickly tip it back and forth so that the batter evenly coats the bottom.
• Cook until the crepe edges are golden brown-about 1 minute.
• Slide a spatula under the crepe, flip it over, and cook for about 30 seconds.
• Transfer to a warm plate.
• Repeat with the remaining batter, rebuttering the skillet when necessary.
• *At this point the crepes can be cooled to room temperature, separated by sheets of wax paper, and stored.
• Refrigerate, wrapped tightly with plastic wrap, for up to 24 hours.
• Freeze, wrapped with aluminum foil and labeled, for up to 1 month at 0°F.
• Serve with your own favorite crepe filling or try Walnut Crepes with Mocha Sauce or Cinnamon Crepes with Caramel Sauce and Pecans.
• Enjoy!

HEALTHIER BASIC CREPES

Steps:

• Whisk together flour and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Gradually add milk and water, stirring to combine. Mix in butter and salt and beat until smooth.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop 1/4 cup batter onto griddle. Tilt pan with a circular motion so batter coats the surface evenly.
• Cook crepe until bottom is light brown, about 2 minutes. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook other side. Serve hot with yogurt, maple syrup, and blueberries.
