Grain-free Tortillas with Almond Butter & Figs


I've been doing a grain-free diet for a while now, but I hadn't ventured into making any bread-like substitutes until today. And I've never been so happy! These tortilla/crepes are super easy to make, and use garfava flour (a mixture of garbanzo and fava beans) instead of any grain flours. They completely satisfy carb cravings, and hold up very well when folding or using them as wraps. I already can't wait to play with the recipe and make all sorts of creations!

What you'll need:

For 1 Tortilla:
  • 1/4 c garfava flour
  • 1/3 c water
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp almond butter
  • 3 black mission figs, sliced
  • oil for coating

What to do:

1. Preheat oven to 400 deg F. Coat a 8 inch round pan with oil of your choice. Place the pan in the oven for a few minutes to heat the oil.

2. Combine the garfava flour, water, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk to combine.

3. Remove the pan from the oven, and pour the batter into the pan. Bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the crepe has solidified completely.

4. Spread a thin layer of almond butter over the tortilla, and top with the fig slices.


Enjoy!
