Method:
In a blender, add all crepe ingredients (except whipped cream) and blend until well incorporated. Pour into a bowl and let sit in the fridge for at least 10 minutes, while you prepare the other components.
.
Sauce: In a small sauce pot, combine the berries with the honey, water and chia seeds and mix well. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and lower the temperature to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes until thickened and fruit is softened, stirring often. Mush the bigger pieces of berries if needed.
In a small bowl, mix together all of the yogurt ingredients (if using) to taste and let sit up in fridge while making the crepes.
In a large, nonstick skillet over medium/medium-low heat, add about 1/4 cup of the batter and swirl the pan to create a thin layer of batter. Cook about 45-60 seconds on the first side and gently flip, and cook another 30-45 seconds on the second side. Remove and lay flat to cool off. Repeat until the batter is finished.
.
To assemble: Add a little of the yogurt mixture into each crepe and fold up. Top with some whipped cream (if using), the berry sauce and powdered sugar.
