Crepes are sometimes considered difficult to make, but there's an easy way. It is almost too easy. This method that our chef uses takes just 30 seconds per crepe in the microwave to make and the results are fantastic and impressive! They're four ingredients to make, healthy, and fast! But, before we get into the simple basics of chia crepes, let's talk nutrition.

- Place a small 6 inch , square piece of parchment paper on the glass microwave disk or a flat, microwave-safe plate. Pour 2 heaping tablespoons of the crepe batter directly on the parchment paper and using the bottom of a spoon, gently but quickly spread the mixture evenly to form a small, thin circle about 4 inches in diameter.
- Microwave for 25-30 seconds, until the center of the crepe is fully cooked. Allow to cool on the parchment paper before trying to remove the crepe. This recipe will yield about 6 crepes.
