Raw Vegan Breakfast Getting' Fancy


This morning I treated myself to small, beautiful raw vegan crepes. I served them with oatmeal almond cream, fruit, and strawberry maple syrup. What a way to start the day! They were easy to make, and are 100% healthy for you.

So join me by grabbing..

2 Bananas (medium in size)
Cinnamon
Vanilla extract

1 oz. soaked almonds (soaked for 8 hours)
1/4 cup soaked whole wheat oats (soaked for 8 hours)

4 Big strawberries
1/2 tbsp maple syrup

First, the night before, soak your almonds and your oats. As well, blend up the two bananas with about a tsp of cinnamon and a tsp of vanilla extract. Poor them onto non-stick sheets in your preferred size of crepes, keeping them relatively thin. Pop them in the dehydrator for 8 hours at 110 degrees F. If you don't have a dehydrator, you can do this in an oven. Depending on whether or not your oven goes to this temperature, since the lowest on mine is 140 degrees F, adjust the time slightly. Your probably looking at about 2-3 hours less, but remember if you do them in the oven at 140 degrees F, you will be cooking them and they will not be considered raw anymore.

The next morning, remove them off the non stick sheets, turn them over and place them on the mesh screen, putting the tray back in the dehydrator. While they crisp up, blend up your oats, almonds, some cinnamon and vanilla extract. Set that aside and blend up the strawberries with the maple syrup. Remove the crepes and serve with the cream, sauce, and some fresh fruit! Enjoy!
