Ingredients
1/3 cup quinoa flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp salt
2 eggs
1/3 cup milk
1 tbsp maple syrup, or honey
1/2 tsp vanilla
For apple mixture:
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and sliced
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1/2 cup low-fat vanilla Greek-style yogurt
Instructions
STIR flour with 1/2 tsp cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk eggs with milk, 1 tbsp maple syrup and vanilla in a small bowl. Whisk into flour mixture until smooth.
HEAT a medium non-stick frying pan over medium-low. When hot, spray lightly with oil. Add a scant 1/4 cup of crepe batter to pan and move pan around in a circular motion to evenly coat bottom.
COOK until underside is lightly golden, about 1 min. Flip crepe and cook for another 30 sec. Fold crepe into quarters, then transfer to plate. Repeat with remaining batter, lightly spraying with oil if needed. Wipe pan clean.
ADD apples, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1/4 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 cup water to same pan. Set over medium-high and cook until apples soften and liquid reduces, 3 to 5 min. Add walnuts and cook for 1 more min. Spoon mixture over crepes and top each crepe with 2 tbsp yogurt.
