I love chocolate in the morning! Try these fudgy vegan crepes with yogurt or fresh fruit for an indulgent breakfast or dessert. They have a delicious chocolate flavor without using refined sugar.
Do you ever make crepes in the morning? They are similar to pancakes, but super thin and perfect for rolling with delicious fillings.These Chocolate Crepes are an extra treat, with their rich chocolate flavor!
A closer look at what’s inside:
Flour
This recipe uses all-purpose flour as a base. Sub for gluten-free all-purpose baking flour if you need a gluten-free alternative.
Dairy-Free Milk
Use your favorite dairy-free milk to make these chocolate crepes. I used chocolate milk for extra chocolate flavor! You can also use a protein shake for an extra boost.
Water
Thin out the batter with filtered water.
Maple Syrup
I use maple syrup as a low glycemic sweetener in these crepes. It adds sweetness, without causing a spike in blood sugar levels. Make sure you use 100% real maple syrup — nothing made with corn syrup or alternatives!
Cocoa Powder
This is where the chocolate flavor comes from. Cocoa powder has a number of health benefits associated with heart health, brain function, and mood.
Baking Powder
Baking powder is used in baking to increase volume and lighten the texture.
Salt
You always need a little salt for balance.
