Makes 4 crepes
GF : DF : SF : VEG

Ingredients

3 free range eggs
1 cup milk (dairy or almond milk both work well)
½ cup almond meal
¾ cup buckwheat flour
Pinch of sea salt
2 teaspoons coconut oil

Blueberry compote

1 cup blueberries
½ teaspoon lemon zest
3 tablespoon water  

To serve:
¾ cup coconut yoghurt
1 punnet blueberries
½ cup almonds (chopped)

Method

Whisk eggs and milk together in a bowl. Add almond meal, buckwheat flour and a small pinch of sea salt, and whisk until it becomes a smooth, batter-like consistency.

Transfer the batter to a jug and let stand for 10 minutes. While resting, make the blueberry compote by placing all ingredients into a small saucepan on medium heat and simmering for 5-8 minutes, then set aside to cool.

To make the crepes, heat a non-stick frypan over a low to medium heat, add 1 teaspoon coconut oil and coat the pan, then pour ¼ cup of batter into the pan and swirl to create a crepe.

Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side. Serve the crepes with blueberry compote, coconut yoghurt, extra blueberries and chopped almonds.
