Strawberry Jam Donut Crepes
Strawberry Jam Donut Crepes
You read that right! If I can turn any craving into a lower in fat version, BUT still in FULL FLAVOOUR effect…well, I’m IN!
Donuts are no exception. Because I love donuts. There. I said it. I love cinnamon sugar and I LOVE JAM! So, why not make my own DONUTS? In Crepes version! And in single serve portions? YES! Why NOT!!
It sure as hell beats weetbix in the morning!
This may look too complicated, especially with the jam. All I picture when I see people making jam is aprons on and 2 hours in the kitchen. And..I DON’T have TIME for that! (I know, my imagination is definitely over rated).
How.EVER. Letting a single serve portion of jam simmer off while the crepes are frying? Genius! By the time you’ve finished the crepes, the jam is all HELLO! Ready and syrupy and YUMMM!
Serve with creamy vanilla low fat yoghurt, and your taste buds will be singing a whole new tune. You will never want cereal again! Or Krispy Kremes. Oh, well maybe I’m pushing it. But, you know what I mean!

Strawberry Jam Donut Crepes
Ingredients
Jam:
- ½ cup fresh chopped strawberries
- ½ cup water
- 3 tablespoons natural granulated sweetener/raw sugar (the sweetener I use is an exact equal measurement to sugar, so adjust your measurements to your preferred sweetener)
Crepes:
- 4 tablespoons (45g) organic wholemeal spelt flour (or any white flour is fine)
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons natural granulated sweetener/raw sugar
- 1 egg white (2 tablespoons liquid egg whites)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup + 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
Additional:
- 1 tablespoon low fat vanilla greek yoghurt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon sugar
Instructions
- Start by making the jam first. By the time it's done, your crepes will be ready for serving!
JAM METHOD:
- In a small saucepan, combine strawberries, water and sweetener/sugar. Bring to a gentle simmer while stirring, and allow to simmer for 10 minutes, or until a syrup forms. Add a little more water if needed! While jam is simmering away, make your crepes!
CREPES METHOD:
- Combine Crepe ingredients in a bowl and whisk until batter is smooth and free from lumps. The batter will be thin. Pour half the batter per crepe onto the centre of a good quality non-stick, preheated pan (on low heat) while swirling around to cover the entire base and create a thin crepe. When golden, flip (I use my fingers to gently peel the crepe edges first before flipping them. It's easier than using a spatula!)
- Remove when cooked, and roll up onto serving plate.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and top with a dollop of yoghurt and the jam!
