Buckwheat Crepes (Vegan + Gluten-Free)

These Buckwheat Crepes are chewy, bendy and slightly crispy. They have a nutty flavour and work well with sweet or savoury fillings! They come together in one bowl and require just 2 ingredients. They're also vegan, gluten-free and contain no sugar!

I do already have a recipe for a normal gluten-free vegan crepe recipe, but after my buckwheat pancakes turned out so well, I wanted to try my hand at buckwheat crepes.

These crepes are made with 100% buckwheat flour (no gluten-free flour!), but don't taste too strongly of buckwheat. They're filling and satisfying, a good source of protein and fibre, contain no added sugar and are nut-free. They're easy to make, made without flax eggs or aquafaba and require just 2 ingredients! Perfect for breakfast, brunch, a snack or dessert!

Notes

*After experimenting with various different brands of buckwheat flour, I realised that using a good-quality organic buckwheat flour such as this one made all the difference. For some reason, the buckwheat flavour was less strong.

• For sweeter crepes, you can add any type of liquid sweetener: maple syrup, agave syrup, brown rice syrup etc.
• For more savoury crepes, you can add some salt to the batter.
