    I made these for dinner Friday night (even though I bought the spelt flour the week you posted this!), and I was SO HAPPY with the results. I doubled it to make a batch for my husband and I (filled with left over grilled chicken added to sauteed zucchini, summer squash, onion, garlic, and green bells all from a local farmers market and topped with a little jack cheese sauce). A-MAZING! The nuttiness came through, and the crepes were so tender.

    I cannot wait to make more!

    These sound really good. I’m going to try them for dinner tonight and fill them with veggies and hummus.

    I use spelt quite often so I was thrilled to find this recipe. Thanks so much!

    These were so good! I used applesauce instead of earth balance since I was out and they still were awesome. Took a little longer to cook. But, we added veggies, salsa, and grated cheese :) yum!

    Hi Gina! I really want to try the apple, raw goat cheddar and cinnamon crepe. I’m not too familiar with goat cheddar…do you melt the cheese and spread it in the crepe or just sprinkle it over the apples? Can’t wait to try it!

      it’s a plant-based sweetener. a little bitter, but not chemical based like the other calorie-free options

    Hey Fitnessista!

    You have SO MANY healthy food options that sound delicious. I’m so happy I stumbled across your page :) Made these crepes today, they’re so easy and so yummy! I did it with chicken, spinach, and mushrooms. Can’t wait to try some of your other recipes. I made the cookie dough cereal for breakfast, so enjoyable and filling!

    Thanks so much for sharing!!

    I love your recipes! I just made these crepes for breakfast for myself (while all my boys ate scrambled eggs) with half a banana and a little peanut butter. I am super excited to get in my order of peanut flour to cut down on some of the calories, but…..YUM! Thanks for the high protein quick meal idea :) Can’t wait to try out a savory crepe for lunch soon!

    So I’m back again! I went for savory tonight (never had a savory crepe before!)… Sauteed spinach, onion, red pepper, a teeny bit of pepperoni, and feta. SO GOOD! Thanks again!
