Crepes are definitely easier to make than you think. Five minutes to mix the batter in a blender or Vitamix and five minutes to cook. This popular french street-food staple can be filled and topped with practically any ingredient, sweet or savory. Some of our favorites include Nutella with strawberries, almond butter and jelly with bananas, and chocolate with chocolate chips. The batter can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for a few days. Enjoy!
