It feels good to know that children are learning to eat healthy in schools. My daughter has taken food and nutrition class and her homework this week was to keep a food journal. She wrote what she ate in the past week and for one day she was challenged to eat as naturally (food without additives) as possible. She gave me some options to prepare the next day’s meal using food pyramid.
We both went grocery shopping and there we realized how hard it was to shop for natural foods. All the isles were overflowing with processed and boxed foods. My daughter read every label of the boxed food that we picked. At the end we came back with fresh fruits, vegetables, fish and food products with short ingredient list.
For breakfast I made crepes which were then smothered with honeyed yogurt and a layer of fresh fruits. For lunch I baked salmon and served over lentil and quinoa salad (will post the recipe soon). We get the best farmed salmon in BC. Dinner was light mushroom soup. all day my daughter fueled herself with snacks like cheese, nuts, seeds and veggies with yogurt dip.
GlutenFree Eggless Crepes with Honeyed Yogurt and Fresh Fruits
Ingredients for crepes
3/4 cup GF all purpose flour
1/3 cup almond meal
3 tsp ener g replacer ( I realize this wasn’t giving me good result so I also added 1/2 tsp flax meal)
1/4 tsp himalayan pink salt
1 cup organic milk
1/4 -1/2 cup water
1 tbsp oil
Honeyed Yogurt
1 cup unflavored thick yogurt
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp orange zest
fresh fruits to serve
Method
Combine Gf all purpose flour, almond meal, ener g replacer, flax meal and salt in a bowl.
Add milk, 1/4 cup water and oil. Mix well with no lumps. Refrigerate for 1/2 an hour or overnight.
Before cooking crepes, check the consistency of batter. Add water if you find it too thick.
Heat a 8-9″ non stick griddle over medium heat. Spray with cooking oil or brush a very thin layer of oil.
Drop 1/2 cup of batter all around the pan to make a circle (swirling the pan won’t work with this batter). Don’t worry if they don’t come out a perfect circle.
Allow the crepe to cook until lightly browned. Peek to check if it is cooked.
Flip the crepe with gently and cook the other side.
Once cooked place it on a plate and do the same with the rest of the batter, oiling very lightly.
Spread honeyed yogurt on crepe, layer with fresh fruits, fold and serve.

We love crepes over here, but I’ve never made gluten free, egg free ones! These look really delicious.
Asmita
I love these crepes Balvinder. The honey yogurt with fresh berries sounds divine! Would love to wake up to a breakfast like that.
Sweet Posy Dreams
Your crepes looks so healthy with the fruit. I agree, it’s tough to really eat healthy. I know I could improve a lot in that area. How neat that your daughter embraced the lesson from nutrition class!
Spice Sherpa
MMM, Crepes! We just made those for Easter. I don’t follow a gluten free diet but I love your filling and want to try it. Tasty!

I laso teach my daughter to eat healthy as much as possible…
Tina
This is a very creative post, I have never seen a recipe for gluten free crepes. Also, the honey yogurt with the fruit does sound like a tasty filling. Your picture is stunning-something I would expect to see at a bed and breakfast. Well done!
Tiffany
I can’t believe there’s no eggs!
Lizzy
You’d never guess your crepes were made without eggs…wow! And the filling looks DELISH!
Suzi
Oh this really looks a tasty. And I love the berries in the filling too. Very nice post. Not sure how I missed your posts either. I will be watching for them. Stay in touch. Hope you have a lovely week.

Nice to see your comment, Suzi. The crepes tastes good and mydaughter always like the yogurt filling.
Soni
Love it!Looks so tasty and delicious Neetu!!I’m sure your daughter enjoyed them 🙂
Balvinder Ubi
Actually she did. The batter is easy to mix at night and just takes half an hour in the morning to fix the whole breakfast.
Vicki Bensinger
Not only is it a great lesson for our children but we learn from it as well. Did you happen to ask your daughter how she felt at the end of that day? Typically you will feel energized and happy from eating so healthy. I’d be curious to know if she noticed a difference in herself.
Your crepes look wonderful. I haven’t made them in years and would love to make some.
Thank you for sharing this story. Hopefully our kids are getting the message loud and clear about eating healthy and the food choices we make each day.
Balvinder Ubi
She said she felt good however do not want to follow this more often. You know Kids at this age are more into candies and desserts though I know she eats lot more healthy than most of her friends.

Very nice eggless crispy with the colorful fruits. My diet is pretty much a balance, with healthy and some sinful food in between. Great to hear that your daughter understands the need of being healthy with food. Over here, parents go through a hard time esp getting the kids to eat veges and fruits. Most of the kids here are hooked on fast food and they can go everyday with McDonalds, KFC and all those fast food.

Yuuuuuuuuuuuum! That looks really good!!!
Baker Street
No eggs?! Wow! These look fantastic. Imagine they’d make for a perfect breakfast this morning!
Claudia
This is just wonderful. I love that your daughter is learning about the “perimeter” of supermarkets – stay out of the aisles except for paper goods! The crepes would be a welcome treat in my neck of the woods.

I’ve never seen a crepe recipe without eggs! Brilliant recipe@ Whoever cannot eat eggs can still enjoy these beautiful crepes. Sometimes it’s really hard to eat natural 100%. You can, but it requires effort and discipline. It must have been a great experience for your daughter!
easyfoodsmith
These look fantastic and perfect n makes for a delicious & satisfying breakfast.
Kit @ i-lostinausten

Juliana
Wow, the crepes look great light and so soft…like the idea of rice flour and almond meal…beautifully done.
Thanks for the recipe and hope you are having a great week 🙂
Jen at The Three Little Piglets
Sounds like it was a great lesson for both of you! It is indeed hard to shop naturally with all the processed foods in the market nowadays.
Jay
looks excellent & yummy
Tasty Appetite
Ann
These look terrific! I remember when I was in school and we had cooking at Home Ec. They taught us how to make cheese sauce – literally. That was it! You can make cheese sauce – you are ready to pass Home Economics!
Maureen @ Orgasmic Chef
These look so good and I love the filling!
Elisabeth
These crepes look amazing…light, flavorful, and delicious. I will forward this recipe to my daughter; she has to be careful with eggs, which she has to eat sparingly, even in dishes, and these crepes have no eggs! Wow, genius!!!
Thanks for sharing:DDD
Terra
