Colorful, soft, and versatile, the whole wheat spinach crepes are made in just a few minutes.
A truly light batter made with water, spinach, an egg, and whole wheat flour that is quick to make because you put all the ingredients in the blender glass and the batter is ready in just a few minutes.
To make them, I used frozen spinach that I had in the freezer, which I blanched in a pan with a splash of water, and instead of using all-purpose flour, I preferred whole wheat flour, which made them even tastier.
To fill them, you just need to use your imagination; I tried with blanched shrimp and sautéed vegetables; they can be filled with ricotta or spreadable cheese, and you can also use them to make a vegetarian lasagna dish.
Since Spring has already arrived, there’s a need to change the diet a bit, and creativity in the kitchen should never be lacking, even if we serve light and simple dishes.

Ingredients
- 3.5 oz frozen spinach
- 7 tbsp water
- 1 egg (medium)
- 0.5 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 pinch fine salt
Tools
- Blender
- Pan
Steps
– Boil the frozen spinach in a pan with a splash of water just until the cubes thaw and the water evaporates.
– Place all ingredients in the blender or food processor and blend until you get the batter. (I added the salt to the flour)
– Grease the pan with a little oil, heat it, then pour a ladle of batter in the center; spread it with a circular motion and cook for about 2 minutes per side (you’ll notice when the edges start to peel off slightly). Continue until the batter is finished.
Tips
If you want, you can use fresh spinach, blending them directly with all the ingredients.
To make the recipe gluten free, you can use oat flour
