If you are lucky enough to spend Mother’s Day with Mum, no store-bought gift can beat saying thank you like a homemade breakfast in bed. And I mean scenting her wakeup call with the smell of hot coffee, french Bonne Maman preserves, Gluten-Free Blueberry Lemon Ricotta Crepes, and the heavenly sound of someone else in the kitchen.
Because what mom doesn’t enjoy that?
And if you’re looking for a recipe that looks like you’ve slaved for hours but still allows you to sleep in *almost as late as mom? This. Is. It. With the added bonus of being gluten-free!
I know it’s easy to be skeptical of gluten-free crepes, but I promise you, I’ve made these Gluten-Free Blueberry Lemon Ricotta Crepes multiple times and they’re consistently light and just as wonderful as any crepe I’ve had in Paris. But don’t take my word for it. These have the added bonus of being #husbandapproved, which, if you know my husband, means the texture, flavor, and presentation better be as good as his favorite restaurant version.
What really puts these over the top is the lip smacking Bonne Maman Wild Blueberry Preserves with a light sprinkle of fresh lemon peel and powdered sugar on top. In fact, these are so flavorful that you won’t even need syrup.
I prepare the ricotta cream the night before and sometimes even the batter, that way the only thing I have to do in the morning is cook and assemble and the flavors really meld together. This Gluten-Free Blueberry Lemon Ricotta Crepes recipe is so much easier than most crepe recipes!
Some quick tips on making crepes:
Use a crepe pan. It really does make a difference in shape and how easy it is to flip.
Ensure the pan is thoroughly buttered (butter is my favorite way to go for this dish)
Cook on medium heat, not high, so you have time to spread the batter before it cooks.
