Peanut Butter Crepes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Filling (Grain-free) (SRC)
Soft, thin peanut butter crepes paired with a rich cinnamon cream cheese filling for a decadent yet grain-free breakfast or dessert. This recipe is simple to make, full of flavor, and satisfying for those avoiding grains or gluten.
Ingredients
For the Crepes:
- 1 egg
- 6 egg whites
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 Tbsp granulated sweetener or a pinch of stevia to taste
- 2 Tbsp creamy all natural peanut butter (almond butter or sunflower seed butter for Paleo and/or nut-free)
For the Cinnamon Cream Cheese Filling:
- 4 ounces cream cheese* (see notes below for allergen-friendly alternatives) softened
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 Tbsp granulated sweetener or a pinch of stevia
- Options for servingDrizzle of maple syrup, agave nectar, honey or coconut nectarsprinkle of ground cinnamoncoconut whipped creamchopped apples, cherries, sliced bananas or berrieschocolate chips or cacao nibs
Instructions
- To make the crepes, whisk the egg and egg whites in a medium to large bowl until foamy. Whisk in the vanilla extract, sweetener, and peanut butter.
- To make the filling, mix together the filling ingredients in a small/medium bowl and set aside.
- Grease a large skillet with coconut oil (butter/ghee or your favorite oil can be used) and heat over medium heat. Once thoroughly heated, evenly swirl about 1/4 cup crepe batter in the pan. Cook about 1-2 minutes, until small bubbles appear and crepe sets. Flip with a large spatula and cook another minute, until golden.
- Remove crepe from pan to add filling while still warm and roll up. Serve immediately with maple syrup and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Notes
1. *Cream Cheese alternatives: Try this cashew cream cheese for a vegan, soy and dairy-free option or this coconut cream cheese for a vegan, paleo and nut-free version.
2. If you are vegan, I don't have a good egg-free option for you unfortunately but the filling is delicious if you use a dairy-free option and can be slathered on toast, pancakes etc
3. If you like chocolate and peanut butter, these would be awesome if you reduced the amount of cinnamon and added some chocolate chips and banana added to the filling.
