Hi Everyone,
It’s another Skinny Bitch Tuesday and today’s recipe is supposed to be crepes with Raspberry Sauce, but you know me I had to change it up just a pinch!
I was excited to try this recipe because I have never make crepes before. All in all it wasn’t hard, but it took a little time to figure it out. The recipe calls for one cup almond milk, but I decided to use coconut milk instead. I don’ t know if the coconut milk was to thick but I had to add 2 tablespoons of milk to thin out the batter.
The flavor of these crepes were mighty delish, very sweet and light! I liked the coconut milk in it. I know I need to keep practice to make them perfect, but I don’t think I did to bad for the first time. The concept of making these is very much like making pancakes and to be honest they tasted like pancakes. I have no complaints about that! You know I love my pancakes. These crepes would have been great for breakfast, but I had mine for dessert!
I decided not to do the raspberry sauce since I made that a while back when I made my Chocolate Espresso Raspberry Pancakes. I decided on going simple, and went with strawberries. All I did was take 1 cup of frozen strawberries and microwaved them in 30 second increments. Mashed with a fork and served warm over the crepes. I do love my strawberries. These crepes are my strawberry short-cake version.
- Serves: 7 Crepes
- Serving size: 1 Crepe
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ½ tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. stevia
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 2 tbsp. milk, fat free
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- Cooking Spray
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- In a medium bowl, combined flour, baking powder, baking soda and stevia. Whisk in the coconut milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add strawberries to a medium microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds increments, until strawberries are no longer frozen. Mash with a fork. Set a side.
- Spray an 8" skillet with cooking spray and set on medium heat. Add ¼ cup of the batter mix to the bottom of the skillet, swirling to coat the bottom of the skillet as evenly as possible with the batter.
- Cook until edges are lightly browned and the crepe is almost dry on top. Loosen the edges with a thin spatula and flip the crepe over.
- Cook crepe for an additional 15 seconds.
- Transfer to a plate and continue cooking remaining batter.
- Add warmed strawberries over the cooked crepes.
I have to say I’ve been pretty happy with the past few Skinny Bitch Cookbook recipes. I’ve learned a lot and tried new things. I can’t wait to see what we make next. Now to check out the other ladies Crepes. I wonder what they did to change it up? So many great ideas, that every time we post Skinny Bitch Tuesdays, I think why didn’t I think of that!

P.S. I just love this picture!
For me, crepes are all about the filling! I like to use greek yogurt for a strawberries & cream crepe. 🙂
I agree with you, filling is where it’s at! Love it!
Thanks Kammie!! 🙂
Using the greek yogurt is a great idea!! I should of done that, but being my first time I wanted to stick as close to the recipe as I can.
I like strawberries much more too. Looks fabulous!
Thanks Claire! Your Vegas pictures look wonderful! What fun!
I often forget about crepes. They’re so easy to make and so versatile. Thanks for a skinnier recipe.
Anytime! I was glad when I figured the calories out! I am going to make these again and try to perfect the crepe shape!!
Ahh crepes…the one thing my husband truly misses! I might just have to make this Saturday with an all-purpose gf flour for him. I think it would be gone in seconds!
It was so good, took me a few times to try it but it all came together nicely and the flavor was amazing! I was pretty impressed with how sweet it was.
I’d definitely have this one for both – breakfast and dessert 🙂 looks amazing!
Thanks! It would make a great breakfast even though I made it for it for dessert!!
It looks so yummy! I do wonder if there is something else that can be used instead of coconut milk?
You cna use almond milk or even regular milk. It should all come out the same! The original recipe called for vanilla almond milk.
Oh, I love crepes with fruit! I’d have a hard time deciding between raspberries and strawberries 🙂
I love raspberries, but ultimately my heart goes out to strawberries! I just love them!
Your crepes look wonderful! I have never tried making them at home, guess I should add that to the list!
Oh make them!! This was the first time I made them. It took a few tries, but it was fun! There so sweet and delish! I can see one now smeared with peanut butter and banana’s! 🙂
These look so good, Jennifer! I’m so sorry I missed out on this recipe. I really wanted to give it a try.
I know me too! I bet yours would of been wonderful!!!
I love making crepes and these look perfect!
I had fun making them and I can’t wait to try to perfect them!!
