8 ripe bananas (perfectly ripe please -- lightly speckled with brown spots is perfect)

1/2 cup water

Directions

1. Add all 8 bananas to your highs-speed blender. Pour in 1/2 cup water.

2. Blend on high until very nicely mixed. It will look like a nice, thick smoothie.

3. Most likely your dehydrator tray has little holes in it, thus you'll need to either use teflex sheets or parchment paper to line your dehydrator trays. (Do not ever use "wax paper" because the food will stick to it and it'll be a huge disaster.) Pour 1/4 of the recipe on 1 of 4 lined dehydrator trays. The batter should be spread out quite thinly, and be sure to spread out the "batter" thoroughly so that each tray is one big crepe. It's easy, don't worry.

4. Dehydrate your raw crepes until they are a lot less liquidy and totally pliable. Dehydration time for this raw crepe recipe varies depending on a gajillion factors, like humidity and temperature. However, to give you some indication, today I dehydrated my raw crepes for 1 hour at 125 degrees, then I lowered to 105 for another 8 hours or so.

5. Watch them closely, because you'll want them to be pliable so that you can roll them up! Do not overdry. If you overdry they'll still taste good, but you won't be able to roll them and they'll be kind of crispy and brittle. In order to test them, just try peeling them off the parchment paper or teflex sheet.

6. Serve with whatever you like to top your crepes with, for example, you can place a line of fruit dip and top with fresh raspberries, then roll up crepe-style and eat with a knife and fork. Perfect for a gourmet raw breakfast! Pretty sweet though so brace yourself for a sugary breaky!

This recipe should fill 4 regular dehydryator trays. Thus, it will make 8 crepes. (Just make 4 big crepes and then cut each crepe in half once it's done.)

The Rawtarian's Thoughts

Raw crepes are so gosh darn easy. If you can make a smoothie and if you own a dehydrator then you're all set. They do take some time in the dehydrator though, so they're not instant. :)

You know me and my obsession with the simple. So here's the very first raw crepe recipe that I made as a raw vegan. I love this raw crepe recipe because it's just fruit and water. Easy! Basically, all you have to do is make a banana smoothie and throw it into the dehydrator. And it always turns out well, too.

You can serve your raw crepes about a thousand great ways. Like, you can make a sweet cashew cream (also called raw fruit dip) and top with fruit then roll.

Note that your crepes are already really sweet due to the bananas, so you might want to top with tart, sharp fruits like raspberries with a bit of lemon squeezed on top. Or more sweetness is fine too :)

Hope you enjoy. Your avatar pic is beautiful Alexia! I have just discovered yoga and am struggling with basic poses. Nice to see something to strive for :)

Hey Laura-Jane! Quick questions on how to store the crepes? How? Where? How long?

I have had my dehydrator for about 3 weeks now, and I am having so much fun with it!! I have made apple, yam, beet, and 3 diff. kinds of kale chips (incl. Russell James' Chocolate Kale Chips - Yum!), raw cinnamon rolls, your pizza crusts - which were awesome!, caramelized onions, cookies, flax crackers, and I'm ready to try some of these crepes!!

Ummmm raw cinnamon rolls???? Share please.

Storing crepes! Well, you could probably keep for about two weeks, I'd probably lie em flat in a big ziploc and then store flat in fridge.
Bye! :)

Thanks! Just bought a boat-load of bananas to try this out!

The raw cinnamon roll recipe I found on "rawmazing.com" They were delightful! I, like you, am very into simple! These seemed intimidating at first sight b/c of the different layer/steps, but were really quite easy. Actual food handling time wasn't much! good luck!

Mmm I love ramazing, such beautiful pics she takes, Court.

I'm glad to read that they were easy-ish because I am easily intimidated :)

I'm making these for my bf's birthday breakfast! I'm going to try adding a bit of soaked ground chia seeds too, I'll see how that turns out! Thanks so much for the recipes!!! :) :)

It's my pleasure Cassidy.

How come you want to add chia seeds?

Just because they're so good for you!
By the way, they were delish! :)

That's a good reason to add 'em :)

Glad they turned out well
