Healthy Almond Flour Blintzes, Crepes or Nalesniki

Healthy Almond Flour Blintzes, Crepes or Nalesniki

Whether you know them as blintzes, crepes or nalesniki, this healthy version uses almond flour and will have you making them on a regular basis.

This is definitely a dish that is more popular in Europe (Nalesniki are Polish, Crepes are French, Blintzes originate from Jewish cultures) and I’m shocked it hasn’t become more popular in American culture. It is actually very easy to make, basically equivalent to a pancake, and you can stuff them with anything!

The biggest different between a crepe and blintz/nalesnik is how they are folded. The latter are rolled which is what we are making today! And typically they are filled with a white cheese such as a farmer’s cheese mixed with sugar. Being that I always look for healthier options, we are keeping this sugar free but trust me, you won’t even know!

INGREDIENTS

BATTER (makes about 10-12 nalesniki/blintzes)
