Preparation Time:
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Total time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
100g quinoa (about ½ cup)
2 tablespoons oat flour
250 ml water (about 1 cup)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Pinch of salt
Directions:
Prepare the quinoa: Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under running water.
Blend the mixture: In a blender, combine quinoa, oat flour, water, olive oil, and salt. Blend until smooth and lump-free.
Preheat the pan: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with olive oil.
Cook the crepes: Pour a ladle of batter into the pan, swirling it to form a thin, even layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges start to lift, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Serve: Repeat with the remaining batter to make 5 crepes. Serve warm with your favorite fillings.
Serving Suggestions:
For a savory option, fill with sautéed vegetables, hummus, or avocado.
For a sweet option, spread with almond butter, fresh fruits, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
Cooking Tips:
Ensure the pan is hot before adding the batter to prevent sticking.
You can soak the quinoa for 2-3 hours before blending to make the batter smoother.
If the batter is too thick, add more water to achieve a thin, pourable consistency.
