Step-by-step
- Combine all dry ingredients for your crepes in a small bowl (flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt).
- Add coconut milk and coconut oil to the mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Heat a large pan to medium heat and melt some coconut oil or spray with non-stick coconut oil spray.
- Spoon 2 heaping spoonfuls of mixture into the pan and swirl the pan around until it reaches the edges of the pan (you want a thin pancake-like look).
- When you see bubbles starting to form on the edges of the crepe, flip and repeat process on the other side until cooked through or browned slightly.
- Repeat with remaining batter and then set aside.
- Heat a small pot to medium-high heat. Add all of your sauce ingredients (except Stevia) and bring to a rapid boil.
- Turn heat down to low and continue to cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the mixture reaches a thick, syrupy consistency.
- Taste mixture and see if it's sweet enough for you. If not, just add a small sprinkle of Stevia, then remove from heat.
- Take a crepe and spread 1 spoonful of coconut whipped cream across the top, then add 1-2 spoonfuls of the peach syrup and spread on top of the whipped cream.
- Roll the crepe, and face seam side up or down, whichever you choose.
- Repeat process with each crepe.
- Top crepes with more whipped cream and peach sauce if desired, and sprinkle a little cinnamon on top for garnish, and serve!

Weeknights are often a whirlwind of homework, extracurricular activities, and the ever-present need to keep everyone fed and happy. That's why I'm always on the lookout for recipes that are quick, easy, and packed with flavor—and these gluten-free and dairy-free Peaches and Cream Crepes fit the bill perfectly!
The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity. Forget complicated techniques and obscure ingredients; this recipe is surprisingly straightforward, even for someone like me who sometimes feels like I'm running a culinary marathon every evening.

The secret to their success? Don't overmix the batter! A few gentle stirs are all it takes to create the perfect consistency.
And the filling? Oh, the filling! Sweet, juicy peaches simmered in a fragrant coconut sugar syrup create a heavenly pairing with the light and creamy coconut whipped cream. The combination of textures and flavors is truly divine. It's the perfect balance of sweet and subtly tangy, making it a dessert that’s both satisfying and refreshing. It’s also incredibly versatile; I sometimes add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of maple syrup for an extra layer of warmth and complexity.
What I love most about this recipe is its adaptability. Feeling adventurous? Try substituting different fruits—berries, mangoes, or even bananas would work wonderfully. Need to make it vegan? Ensure your coconut whipped cream is vegan-friendly. The possibilities are endless! This recipe has quickly become a staple in our household, a go-to dessert that’s both impressive and effortless.

Tips and Variations:
