Instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, eggs, almond milk, sea salt, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until smooth. Let the batter sit for a couple of minutes to thicken.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of coconut oil.
3. Pour about 1/4 cup of the crepe batter into the skillet, swirling the pan to spread it evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the underside is lightly golden. Flip carefully and cook for another minute. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking cooked crepes on a plate.
4. For the filling, combine the softened cream cheese, almond milk, vanilla extract, and sugar substitute in a mixing bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy.
5. Spread a generous amount of the cream cheese filling onto each crepe and fold or roll them up.
6. Serve warm, garnished with fresh berries if desired. Enjoy your delicious and diabetic-friendly breakfast.
