🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius (355 Fahrenheit).

Spread 2 cups of raw hazelnuts on a large baking tray.

Bake hazelnuts for 10 to 12 minutes until skins start to crack and darken.

Let hazelnuts cool for about 5 minutes, then wrap them in a clean tea towel to remove skins.

Rub the hazelnuts in the tea towel to remove the skins, aiming for 80 to 90% removal.

Add hazelnuts to a food processor and process until creamy, scraping down the sides as needed (2 to 15 minutes).

Add 3/4 cup icing sugar, 1/4 cup cacao powder, 2 tablespoons neutral oil, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the hazelnut butter and process until smooth.

In a large bowl with a sieve, add 1.5 cups double zero white flour and 0.5 cup chickpea flour.

Add 1/8 teaspoon bicarb soda and 1/4 teaspoon salt to the flour and sift into the bowl.

Add 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon neutral oil, and 1.5 cups unsweetened plant milk (soy) to the bowl.

Using an electric hand mixer, whisk the ingredients until smooth, then add 0.5 cup cold water and mix again until the batter is the consistency of pouring cream.

Warm a frying pan on medium heat for a few minutes before adding oil.

Add about 1 teaspoon of oil to the pan and swill it around to cover the surface.

Pour just under one full ladle of batter into the pan, covering the surface with a thin layer.

Cook the crepe on the first side for a few minutes until lightly golden and the top dries out completely.

Flip the crepe and cook for another 30 seconds until ready.

Continue the process until all batter is used, yielding around eight crepes.

Serve crepes with toppings like jam or the homemade hazelnut chocolate spread and sliced banana.
