Almond milk crepes - 1 point on Weight Watchers

Have you developed an irrational craving for pancakes since you started Weight Watchers? No? Just me then?


Crepes are a very WW friendly option to help stave off your cravings. This dairy-free crepe recipe  is only 1 point per serving and there are many options to stuff your crepes with zero or low-point fillings. Such as:
  • Eggs + bell pepper + tomato
  • Eggs + mushrooms
  • Eggs + reduced fat cheese (points for cheese)
  • Eggs + 99% fat free deli turkey
  • Eggs + tomato + avocado (points for avocado)
  • Reduced fat cheese (points for cheese)
  • 99% fat free deli turkey + reduced fat cheese (points for cheese)
  • Bananas + Powdered peanut butter such as PBFit (1 point/serving of PBFit)
  • Strawberries + Greek yougrt
  • Strawberries + light whipped cream (points for whipped cream)
2 points - crepe with eggs, veggies and reduced fat feta
If you really must have a pancake and have a few more points to spare, check out my recipe for high protein peanut butter pancakes using powdered peanut butter.

Batter ingredients:
3/4 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg
1/4 tsp of table salt
Non-stick cooking spray
* if you are making only sweet crepes, add 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract

Directions:
Whisk together all ingredients to form a thin batter. I suggest using a hand mixer to ensure there are no clumps of flour. It should be thinner than pancake batter, if it's too thick, you can add a little more almond milk or water.

Preheat a round, non-stick skillet to medium-high heat. On my stove, I use temperature setting 7 of 10. Give the pan a quick spray of cooking spray and pour about a 1/3 of a cup of batter in the pan. You will want to spread the batter out by swirling the pan or there is such a thing as a crepe spreader.
Not quite ready to flip....if you use a spreader it will be easier to make it more round.

Allow the crepe to cook until lightly brown, about 2-3 minutes and then flip it over. Cook an additional 1-2 minutes. Top with your preferred toppings, or eat plain!

Recipe makes 6-8 crepes.
Nice light brown!

Mine don't look as pretty as the ones sold on the streets of Paris but they still taste good!
2 points - crepe with banana and a drizzle made from PBFit
