I must give my 86-year-old Grandmother all of the credit for this crepe recipe. This is her signature breakfast dish that she is kind enough to make for our entire family (all 25 of us) each time we get together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our family has gotten so big that in recent years she got smart and started working on making our crepes weeks in advance. So she now brings big frozen pre-made batches of this delectable dish to satisfy everyone\u2019s cravings, which means she can spend less time in the kitchen and more time playing with all of her great-grandkids! Enjoy these crepes for breakfast, or freeze them to enjoy at lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Is This a Healthy Crepe Recipe?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All I did to make this a healthier choice was to slightly modify my grandma\u2019s recipe to include whole-wheat flour<\/a> and honey instead of sugar<\/a>. <\/em>I am thrilled to say that those minor changes barely changed the consistency of the batter, and the end product still tastes delicious!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is by far my oldest daughter\u2019s most favorite breakfast, and just the four of us will devour an entire batch. So if you want to impress your guests with this dish you may want to double the recipe (and once you get really good you could try to have two pans going at once). While I grew up eating these crepes for breakfast (there is only a tablespoon of sweetener in the whole batch), I think they are just as fabulous as a dessert, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to serve them for an after dinner treat, try rolling them up with strawberries and whipped cream inside and top them with chocolate sauce. Alternately, you could put baked apples (seasoned with butter, honey and cinnamon) inside too. We suggest making a crepe desserts spread with different ingredients for family and guests to build their own! The possibilities are endless! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Cook Crepes for Breakfast or Dessert<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I am not going to lie and say this recipe is \u201ceasy\u201d like most of the others I have posted. Making good crepes does take time and practice, but I assure you that it will be worth the effort if you just have a little bit of patience until you get it right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
