Gluten Free Crepes with Cherry Filling

As much as I love thick, fluffy pancakes, crepes are just a different story. Super thin, light, ready to be filled with anything sweet or savory and enjoyed for breakfast or lunch! Today I’m sharing these airy Gluten Free Crepes with Cherry Filling and I hope you’ll love them as much as I do!

I had a lot of crepes while growing up in Poland. My mom and grandma would make “thin crepe-style pancakes” with savory and sweet fillings all the time! My favorite were filled with fruits or soft white cheese and sugar. Yes, I loved sugar growing up too.

Maybe because I’ve eaten crepes dozens of times, I never actually made them myself. Which turns out to be a mistake! After making them recently I’m officially in love!

These Gluten Free Crepes with Cherry Filling are a healthier version of regular crepes. Made with a gluten free flour blend, sparkling water and lightly sweetened with birch xylitol. They’re perfectly light, airy and slightly fluffy at the same time! I went for a cherry filling, since I’ve been obsessed recently, however choose any fruits you’d like!

TIPS FOR THE PERFECT CREPES:

• Have all the ingredients at room temperature!
• Use a non-stick crepe side if possible, it makes them easy to flip!
• If you don’t have a non-stick pan, make sure to lightly grease it after making each one.
• Preheat the pan, but make sure it’s not too hot – the batter won’t spread evenly before setting.
• Use SPARKLING water. It makes such a difference in texture! It makes crepes fluffier and lighter. I used spindrift, since that’s all I had and it worked amazing!
• Make sure to mix the batter well until there’s no lumps. For the best results use a blender!
