Healthy Whole Grain Crepes with homemade Chocolate Spread
This was a combined effort between Mr. Green and I. Which basically means that I came up with the idea, and Mr. Green executed it :o). He said he felt like something chocolatey and this idea has been on my mind for a while only I haven't really had the chance to try it out so I thought...AHAH, perfect opportunity! :o)
So I suggested a rolled crepe with a thick chocolate spread (or chocolate goo as I like calling it) as a filling. How can this be healthy, you ask? If you make your own spread, of course!
The crepe batter was made with sifted whole grain flour, a little baking powder, an egg, and soy milk (unsweetened, always unsweetened). The chocolate spread...oooh I'm so tickled to share this with you, was made with a mixture of cocoa powder (natural and unsweetened), honey (slightly better than sugar because it's one step less processed) and soy milk. So the only sugar in this concoction was from the honey, and not much was used in the first place!
And it worked! The crepe was beautifully made and the chocolate goo was thick, rich and tasted quite decadent, only we know it really wasn't that bad :o).
And don't forget to use a non-stick pan so you don't have to add any fats to this!
