Crepes? Pancakes? Thin, gluten-free, and yummy. Sound good?

To go with my magical concoction of sautéed sweet potato, white kidney beans, tomatoes, onion, garlic, and spinach -- yummy!! -- I made these crepes. They are gluten free, and grain free, and really good for you, full of protein etc. Next time? I shall attempt vegan ...

The use of ground chia made the batter a little thicker, so they are less crepe and more pancake. but they still serve the purpose and are awwwwwweeeeeeessssssssssooooooooome.

ingredients:

4 eggs

1 cup water

1/4 cup flax meal

2 tbsp ground sesame seeds

2 tbsp ground chia

pinch sea salt

black pepper

1 cup almond flour

directions:

1. combine the above ingredients

2. cook in a cast iron pan 1/4 cup at a time, turning after 1-2 minute
