Do I have a dessert for you…..French Toast Sourdough Crepes with Maple Cream and Candied Bacon! Oh ya baby! Even better, they are made with coconut milk…..so they’re lactose-free! This month’s Sourdough Surprises Challenge is Crepes, but you probably got that from the insanely long title!
How to make French Toast Sourdough Crepes with Maple Cream and Candied Bacon:
To make the Candied Bacon:
In a large skillet, fry bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towels. Crumble/chop bacon into pieces. Pour fat out of pan and return to the stove.
Add brown sugar and cook until melted.
Add the crumbled bacon and stir to combine.
Remove to a silpat or parchment paper and allow to cool.
To make the Crepes:
In a large bowl, whisk together crepe ingredients.
Heat a small non-stick frying pan (8 – 10″) and add a dollop of butter.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter into pan and swirl around to evenly coat the bottom of pan.
Cook until slightly browned (about 2 minutes) and flip over. Cook the other side.
Remove to a large plate while cooking remaining crepes. Add a dollop of butter between each crepe to keep them from sticking to the pan.
To make the Maple Cream:
Open a cold can of coconut milk WITHOUT shaking first. Scoop out solid coconut that has formed at the top of the can, and place in a bowl.
Beat coconut cream until smooth.
Add maple syrup, and beat to combine.
Fold crepes into quarters.
Top with a dollop of maple cream and candied bacon. Drizzle with maple syrup.
Yes, they were as delicious as they look! I honestly did not even notice a sourdough flavor. I asked Alex if they were worthy of sharing with the world. He gave them a thumbs up!
Notes:
- Feel free to use regular milk in the crepes and heavy whipping cream in place of coconut cream.
- You can also roll the crepes with the maple cream filling, or fill and fold over.
Enjoy!!

OMGosh, Lisa…. these look absolutely amazing!! 🙂 You pretty much had me at candied bacon, lol!
Your crepes look delicious:) Lynn @ Turnips 2 Tangerines
Oh my gosh, that candied bacon! These look amazing, and I love the french toast inspiration!
You rocked this challenge with these tasty crepes. Candied bacon and mapley coconut cream sound amazing together.
Oh wow! I wish I had some bacon to recreate this immediately! Sounds and looks divine!
I love making crepes! This is such a fun recipe with the sour dough in them. So now you can say that you’re a crepe maker, Lisa!
Oh those sound delicious! My husband dips his bacon in his syrup when we are having pancakes, etc. This just saves him that step! 😉
YUM! Fantastic job! Love the candied bacon and the cinnamon flavors! I bet your crepes were awesome!!
I was surprised at how easy they were too! I’d leave off the bacon but they look wonderful otherwise!
Heavenly Lisa, simple heavenly…Thank you so much for sharing…
Lisa, I can’t look at this without drooling…. Thanks for bringing it on over. Cheers
Oh. My. Gosh. I want these. They look so amazingly delicious. Candied bacon? Maple whipped cream? From coconut milk? Yes, yes and YES! Super creative and absolutely beautiful.
I too added vanilla and cinnamon to mine and they deserve the thumbs up for surr. Next time I will try the whipped coconut cream for sure
Whoa, Lisa…these look AMAZING! I love crepes, we love bacon so this = weekend perfection! SO pinning this and am going to share on my FB page tomorrow! 🙂 Happy Friday!
Lisa, these look off the charts delicious! Maple cream and candied bacon sound like the most delicious way to top these off!
This looks so tasty! I have never had crepes before. In a mall here, someone opened a crepe restaurant but it did not last very long. We were tempted to try them then. Of course, when you throw in the bacon, then it sounds like something I should definitely try.
Look at how cute these are! I like that you used coconut milk. I am really going to try to cut out milk and soft cheeses. However, I will probably make some ice cream this weekend. I will have a little and just take some lactaid beforehand.
Ha, I went to Whole Foods tonight and got some non dairy milks to try out in baking. I even got egg replacer. I think I am going to make some vegan muffins this weekend. 🙂
Have a good one, Lisa!
I think I just found what were gonna be having for breakfast tomorrow. This looks delicious! Thanks for sharing!

When I was in college, I used to fantasize about becoming best friends with Ina Garten and a bunch of other TV chefs and going to their beautiful mansions for foodie sleepovers and having food like this while we stayed in our pajamas and sipped champagne and gossiped about men! Lol. Now, I’ve replaced the TV chefs with food bloggers; there’s so many amazing bloggers I’d love to have a foodie pajama party with and giggle like school girls & INDULGE. you’re at the top of that list, lady! i expect you to contribute this AMAZING dish to the festivities, too! 🙂 Thank you so much for linking up with me this week at Tasty Tuesdays!

Hello,
I want to make the crepes for Sunday brunch.
The 4th ingredient in the Sourdough Crepes recipe is Sourdough Crepes. Should that be something else?
No, that is just the beginning of the ingredients list for the Sourdough Crepes. The first three ingredients are for the Candied Bacon. 🙂 Sorry about that, I am still trying to find a way to make the words bold so they stand out correctly.
Do you have a SOURDOUGH STARTER RECIPE??
Please e-mail it to me? Thanks.
No I do not Patti, I buy it from King Arthur’s Flour. Sorry!
