Ingredients

  • ¾ cup milk
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 Tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 cup high quality gluten free flour King Arthur GF and Grandpa's Kitchen work well. Bob's Red Mill 1:1 will also work
  • 3 Tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 3 Tablespoons sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • Add eggs, milk, water, and melted butter to a blender and pulse a few times until smooth and combined.
  • Add remaining ingredients and pulse until smooth, but don't over mix. The batter should be fairly thin and pourable, slightly thinner than pancake batter.
  • Heat a large, non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter.
  • When the pan is heated, slowly pour about ¼ cup of the batter onto the skillet, swirling gently as you do so to form a larger circle that is fairly thin.
  • Cook the crepe about a minute, until it looks set enough to flip.
  • Gently flip the crepe and cook another 15-30 seconds until done.
  • Remove to a plate or cooling rack, and repeat with the remaining batter. Put a square of parchment paper or wax paper between the crepes so they don't stick. 
  • Serve chocolate crepes with a simple dusting of powdered sugar, or freshly whipped cream. If you want over-the-top crepes for a special occasion, add a drizzling of ganache and some fresh berries, too!
  • Store leftover crepes in a large plastic bag in the fridge for a day or two.

Notes

If you're using a gluten free flour that doesn't contain xanthan (such as the King Arthur blend listed below), add ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum.
