Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, almond flour, melted coconut oil or ghee, sea salt, ground cinnamon, and almond milk until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non stick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet, swirling to form a thin crepe. Cook for 1 2 minutes per side until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter, stacking crepes on a plate and covering them with a damp cloth.
  3. In another non stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute, then add zucchini, bell pepper, yellow squash, cherry tomatoes, basil, thyme, salt, and pepper. Sauté until vegetables are tender, about 8 10 minutes.
