Overnight Orange Crepes
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups (427g) unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup (120g) whole-wheat flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tbsp safflower oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp turmeric
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 medium oranges
- 1/4 cup (79g) maple syrup
- Cooking spray
Directions
Put the almond milk, flour, eggs, safflower oil, vanilla extract, turmeric, and salt in a blender and process until smooth. Zest 1 orange and add the zest to the batter. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Remove the peel and white pith from the oranges. Cut the orange segments away from the membranes and set aside. Squeeze any remaining juice from the membranes into a small saucepan. Add the maple syrup and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until bubbly, about 2 minutes. Stir in the orange segments and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 200°F (93°C). Lightly coat an 8- or 9-inch (20cm or 23cm) nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Whisk the crepe batter to recombine. Pour a scant 1/3 cup batter into the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom evenly. Cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 1 minute. Loosen the edges with a silicone spatula and flip. Cook on the second side until lightly golden, about 30 seconds.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as needed to prevent burning. To store leftovers, wrap the crepes tightly and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Store the orange compote in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
To serve, place 2 crepes on a plate, fold into quarters, and spoon a few tablespoons of orange compote over the top. To reheat refrigerated crepes, microwave on high for about 15 seconds or warm individually in a nonstick skillet for about 30 seconds.
