Sharing is caring!

Last Updated on December 6, 2020

Lately, I’ve been feeling a call back to a lower-carb diet.  Now when I say lower carb, I mean eating between 50 grams to 80 grams of carbs a day.  I’ve never felt great on Keto or Ultra Low Carb so this is my sweet spot where I feel great and lose weight.     I’m going to start sharing more “cleaner” recipes that are still fun and lower in carbs so I thought it would be good to kick it off with this low carb breakfast recipe for crepes.

Now it’s time to talk about the elephant in the room, Stevia.  My past experience Stevia was NASTY.  However, my Naturopath managed to convince me to try Protocol Stevia and I swear beams of light fell onto the jar when I pulled it out of the box.  It is the only Stevia I have ever tried that was not gross.

I used it in this recipe and it provides a very light sweet flavor that paired well with the blueberry cream cheese filling.  You could of course fill these low carb crepes with meats or spread them thick with butter and sprinkle on extra cinnamon.

On a side note, one of my favorite herbs of all time is cinnamon and I’ve been reading up on this spice.  It has some secrets that surprised me as I start researching more.
