Make these Spelt Crepes with Blueberry Compote using eggs, spelt flour and almond milk, served with a sweet and slightly tangy blueberry compote topping.
Today’s recipe is triple-tested and is a convenient one-bowl mixture of batter, that you can make in under 3 minutes.
What is Spelt Flour?
Spelt flour comes from an ancient strain of wheat. It’s high in protein and has a nutty, flavour that’s sweeter and lighter than that of whole wheat.
Spelt is rich in vitamins and minerals such as magnesium, calcium, selenium, iron, manganese, zinc, vitamin E and B-complex vitamins. It is high in protein and lower in calories than wheat flour and also easier to digest than wheat.
Since I am not gluten-intolerant, but more gluten-sensitive I enjoy baking with spelt and I get mine from The Refillery.
Blueberry Compote
I also made a simple blueberry compote using fresh blueberries, a little bit of sugar and a squeeze of lemon. The compote takes less than 10 minutes to make.
This blueberry crepe combination works well with the crepes, but you can also serve with cinnamon and sugar or cream and strawberries.
