Crepes with Coconut Cream and Berry Compote

Crepes are a versatile breakfast or dessert available at restaurants, farmer’s markets, and food trucks everywhere! For those of you following The Myer’s Way®, that doesn’t make them easy to get your hands on. Luckily you can still enjoy these Crepes with Coconut Cream and Berry Compote without straying from any gluten-free protocol.

A basic crepe recipe uses flour, water, and salt, while more popular variations include eggs, sugar, milk, and butter too. That’s a lot of inflammatory foods in one thin pancake! My Crepes with Coconut Cream and Berry Compote use cassava flour, coconut milk, vanilla, and coconut oil. These ingredients are all great foods to optimize your diet and provide you with a sweet treat. I’ve also used the best egg-replacement around with The Myers Way® Gelatin. Your crepe won’t give you any trouble with rips and tears.

My go-to fruit is used to make a simple, AIP berry compote. Choose your favorite berry for this or create a mixed-berry compote. Now, the icing on top of the crepe so to speak is the coconut cream.

I love this recipe because it’s so fun and simple. You can pour a cup of Dandy Tea, and bring a little AIP crepe cafe into your home.
