Weight Watchers Crepes Recipe

Weight Watchers Recipe of the Day: Crepes

I recently received an email from Julia asking if I had a Weight Watchers crepe recipe. She wanted to try to recreate a lighter healthier version of IHOP's Chicken Florentine Crepes and though she could figure out the filling, she couldn't find a crepe recipe to use.

A quick flip to my Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook (affiliate link) revealed that I did. Though I haven't made this particular crepes recipe, I've made others very much like it.

Crepes are fun. They can be used to wrap around fillings for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert.

Every time I make them I ask myself why I don't do it more often.

Calling for no melted butter or oil, this crepe recipe from Weight Watchers is lighter than most.

Weight Watchers Crepes Recipe

This simple 5-ingredient WW friendly crepe recipe has just 62 calories!

Prep Time1 hour hr

Cook Time3 minutes mins

Total Time1 hour hr 3 minutes mins

Servings (adjustable): 8

Calories: 62

Author: Martha McKinnon | Simple Nourished Living

Ingredients

• ▢ ½ cup all purpose flour
• ▢ ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ▢ ¼ teaspoon salt
• ▢ 1 cup fat free milk
• ▢ 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Instructions

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, nutmeg and salt until well combined. In a small bowl (affiliate link), beat together the milk and eggs. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and whisk until smooth. You can also just whiz everything together in a blender (affiliate link) if you prefer. Let the mixture stand at least 1 hour and up to overnight. (Batter should be the consistency of heavy cream - thin it with a little water if it is too thick.)
  
• When you are ready to make your crepes, spray an 8-inch nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray set over medium heat. When a drop of water sizzles in the pan, it's ready. Give the batter another good stir and pour a scant ¼ cup of the batter into the skillet, tilting the pan to coat the bottom completely. Cook until the top is set and the underside is gold brown, about 1-½ minutes.
• With a spatula, loosen the edge of the crepe and carefully flip it over. Cook until the second side is lightly browned, about 1 minute. Remove the crepe to a plate. 
• Repeat with the remaining batter, lightly spraying the skillet with nonstick spray before adding more batter and making a total of 8 crepes.

Cooking Notes for Mastering Crepes

• If you think of crepes as something fussy and fancy, think again. These thin French pancakes are just as easy as weekend flapjacks, if you know the secrets to their success.
• Fill them in a variety of ways from sweet to savory.
• You'll need an 8-inch nonstick skillet and a thin spatula for flipping.
• The batter will need time to rest/set so make it at least one hour ahead.
• The batter needs to be thin enough so you can tilt, swirl and coat the bottom of the pan.
• You will have more success flipping your crepes once the top is dry and the edges are starting to brown.
• Cook and freeze your crepes ahead. To freeze separate crepes with wax paper or parchment paper. Stack wrap them well in plastic and slip into a zipper lock freezer bag. Freezer for up to three months. To thaw, place the crepes you need on a plate or cutting board (affiliate link). They should be defrosted in about one hour. Reheat each crepe briefly in a skillet set over low heat and then fill.
