Grain-Free Plantain Crepes
Nutrivore Score: 201
Ingredients
- 1 large green plantain
- 3 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil plus more for frying
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Peel the plantain and place in a blender or food processor with the rest of the ingredients. Puree for 2 minutes or until the batter is completely smooth.
- Heat a crepe maker, crepe pan, or omelet pan over medium to medium-high heat.
- Add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil to the pan (just enough that the crepe doesn't stick, but not so much that the batter can't spread with you swirl the pan). Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of the batter (you could use a 1/4-cup scoop or just eyeball it) and immediately hold the pan up over the element while you swirl/angle the pan so that the batter spreads out into a uniform circle. (If you have a crepe pan, use the spreader to spread the batter; if you have a crepe maker, follow the manufacturer's directions.)
- Cook the crepe for 45 to 75 seconds on the first side, until the top looks dry. Flip and cook on the second side for 15 to 30 seconds.
- Repeat Steps 3 and 4 with the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil to eh pan as needed. If the batter does not spread easily, add another tablespoon of water to it before
