Steps:
- BLEND: Add all the ingredients for the crepe batter into a blender, with the liquid ingredients on the bottom so things blend smoothly. Allow the blender to run until the batter is mixed and smooth. Stop, pour the batter into a measuring cup, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 48 hours.
- CREPES: Heat an 8-inch skillet over medium heat. Brush the skillet with melted butter. Lift the skillet with your dominant hand and pour a ¼ cup of the prepared crepe batter into the skillet with the other hand, as you tilt and rotate the pan to spread the batter evenly so you don't end up with thick pockets of batter. Crepes are like pancakes, so the first one may not be perfect! Allow the crepes to cook, about 1 - 2 minutes or until the tops look dry and the edges start to lift up and away from the pan. Flip them at that point, they should be slightly golden with bubbly brown spots. The second side will only take about 30 seconds or so. Remove to a plate and continue to cook additional crepes, stacking one on top of the other. Crepes can be made 1 day in advance, stacked, covered with plastic wrap (on a plate) and refrigerated until ready to serve.

Steps:
- Combine the eggs, milk, salt, sugar, vanilla and butter into a blender. Blend on low and slowly add in flour. Keep blending until everything is mixed and there are no visible clumps.
- Next, heat a pan on medium heat. Use cooking spray or butter to grease the pan so that batter does not stick.
- Once heated, pour about 1/4 of a cup of batter onto hot pan. Immediately lift pan and tilt in a circular motion spreading out the batter so that it is a thin layer.
- Set back onto stove and cook for 2-3 minutes then flip crepes over and cook another 2-3 minutes.
- Keep an eye on it so that it doesn't over cook and end up crispy. They need to be soft and spongy so that they can be folded or rolled.
- Remove from pan and place onto a plate. Roll or fold crepe and top with fresh fruit, syrup, chocolate syrup, or powdered sugar.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Add flour, milk, eggs, and salt to a blender. Mix blender contents using a spatula so that the flour is moistened and not sticking to the edges.
- Melt butter over medium heat in a crepe pan or frying pan.
- Blend flour mixture on low and pour in melted butter, returning the frying pan to the stovetop. Increase blender speed to high to beat out any lumps, 2 to 3 seconds.
- Lift the hot pan from the burner and pour in some batter quickly while tilting the pan in a circular motion until the bottom of the pan is covered. Transfer any excess batter back into the blender. Remove any batter from the lip of the pan using a spatula before placing it back onto the stove. Rinse off any partly-cooked lump on the spatula before using it again.
- Cook crepe over medium heat, checking frequently until the bottom is very light brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip crepe over carefully and cook until golden, about 1 minute more, being careful not to overcook. Transfer crepe to a serving plate and repeat with remaining batter.

CREPE BATTER RECIPE
Steps:
- In a blender, combine all the ingredients except for the cooking oil and blend for 1 minute on high. Refrigerate the batter for 2 hours.
- Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the skillet with oil and place over medium-high heat. When the pan is just beginning to smoke, remove from heat, and pour 1/4 cup of the batter in the middle of the pan and quickly tilt in all directions for 2 or 3 seconds to evenly distribute the batter. Return the pan to the heat and when slightly brown on the underside, turn the crepe with a spatula onto the other side and cook for a few seconds. Remove from pan. Repeat with remaining batter.

Steps:
- Place oats in a blender and blend on high speed to make oat flour, 10 to 15 seconds. Add milk, water, eggs, melted butter, sugar, and salt and blend until combined. Add both flours and blend until incorporated and smooth, about 20 seconds.
- Refrigerate batter for 1 hour.
- Remove batter from the refrigerator and blend for a few seconds if batter has separated.
- Heat a 12-inch saucepan over medium heat. Spray the warm pan with nonstick spray. Add 1/4 cup batter to the pan, lifting and swirling the pan immediately so the batter spreads thinly and uniformly around the pan. Cook until the edges are set and begin to pull away from the pan, 1 to 3 minutes. Flip crepe with a rubber spatula and cook for another 30 seconds. Remove to a cooling rack and repeat to cook remaining crepes.

Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
- Make sure your blender is clean and free of any residue.
- Use a high-powered blender to ensure that the batter is smooth and well-combined.
- If you don't have a blender, you can also whisk the ingredients together in a large bowl.
- Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking, this will help the flour to absorb the liquid and produce a more tender crepe.
- When cooking the crepes, use a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. This will help to prevent the crepes from sticking.
- Pour a thin layer of batter onto the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
- Serve the crepes immediately with your favorite fillings, such as fruit, whipped cream, or chocolate sauce.
