Ingredients List
For the Crepes:
- 4 large eggs
- ¼ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tbsp erythritol (or sweetener of choice)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
For the Snickers Filling:
- 2 tbsp peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp erythritol (or sweetener of choice)
- ¼ cup chopped peanuts
- 2 tbsp sugar-free chocolate chips (optional for extra sweetness)
For Topping (Optional):
- Sugar-free chocolate syrup or melted dark chocolate
- Chopped peanuts (for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1 — Prepare the Crepe Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together:
- 4 large eggs
- ¼ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tbsp erythritol
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
Whisk until the batter is smooth and lump-free. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable. Adjust the consistency by adding a little more almond milk if needed.
Step 2 — Cook the Crepes
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of melted butter (about ½ tsp) and swirl it around to coat the pan.
Pour a small amount of the crepe batter (about 2-3 tbsp) into the center of the pan and tilt the pan to spread the batter evenly across the surface. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Flip the crepe and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Repeat this process for the remaining batter, adding butter as needed between crepes.
Set the cooked crepes aside to cool slightly.
Step 3 — Prepare the Snickers Filling
While the crepes are cooling, in a small bowl, combine:
- 2 tbsp peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp erythritol
Mix until smooth. You can add a little almond milk to thin it out if needed. Stir in the chopped peanuts for the nutty crunch that mimics the Snickers bar filling.
Step 4 — Assemble the Crepes
Once the crepes have cooled slightly, spread a generous spoonful of the Snickers filling onto each crepe. Roll up the crepes tightly, enclosing the filling inside. Repeat with the remaining crepes.
Step 5 — Add Toppings
Drizzle with sugar-free chocolate syrup or melted dark chocolate for that extra Snickers-inspired touch. Garnish with additional chopped peanuts on top for crunch.
