    These Gluten-Free Vegan Crepes are perfectly chewy, bendy and slightly crispy. They're not dry or crumbly and don't fall apart, can be eaten with a range of different fillings and can be used as wraps for savoury fillings. They’re made without flax eggs or aquafaba, they contain no added sugar and come together in one bowl. They're easy to make and require just 3 ingredients!

    How to make this recipe

    Scroll down to the bottom of the post for the full recipe.

    • Mix together all the ingredients in a glass mixing bowl - use a balloon whisk to mix it if the batter becomes clumpy.

    Tip: Make sure you use a measuring jug to measure out the amount of milk exactly - too much water will make the crepes too thin and too little will make them too thick.

    • Heat up a tiny bit of oil in a frying pan (non-stick is best) and spoon or ladle in a small amount of the crepe batter - too little batter will make the crepes easy to fall apart and hard to flip over, and too much will make them too thick and easy to break apart.

    Tip: Control the amount of oil you use by using a spray-on oil or rubbing a piece of greased kitchen paper over the bottom of the frying pan – too much oil will make the crepes ragged at the edges, and too little will make them hard to flip over.

    • Cook on a medium heat for a couple of minutes until the edges come away from the bottom of the pan - too low and they'll take ages to cook and turn out rubbery, too high and they'll burn easily.
    • Flip over and cook for another couple of minutes, until golden brown and crispy on both sides.

    Tip: Use a spatula to flip over the crepes.

    • Repeat for the rest of the batter - makes around 12 crepes.

    Substitutions you can make

    • You can use any type of plant-based milk: almond milk, rice milk, soy milk, cashew milk, oat milk etc.
    • You can use any type of oil to fry the crepes: coconut oil, olive oil or vegetable oil.
    • You can replace the gluten-free flour with plain flour if you're not gluten-free.

    Serving suggestions

    You can fill these crepes with a combination of any type of sweet fillings:

    • Maple syrup.
    • Melted chocolate.
    • Jam or marmalade.
    • Lemon curd.
    • Lemon juice and (coconut) sugar.
    • Almond butter or peanut butter.
    • Fresh berries.
    • Sliced bananas.
    • Coconut whipped cream or coconut yogurt!

    You can also eat them as wraps and fill with savoury fillings. Here are some suggestions:

    • Chickpea Mayonnaise Salad
    • Vegan “Egg” Mayonnaise Salad
    • Lazy Falafel
    • Hummus
    • Mexican Tofu Scramble
    • Chickpea Caesar Salad!

      Hi, Rhian!
      I'm so excited to have found your blog. I have already saved a vast number of your recipes to try making later.

      I wonder if you could help me with threse crepes though... I made them as written, no substitutions. The batter was quite thick and definitely I wouldn't be able to spread them by turning the pan like regular ones (though from your comments I gather they aren't meant to be anyway). However, I probably added more oat milk to make batter more runny to nearly double the amount called for, and nonetheless, still couldn't get a decent result. The dough was so thick that it was closer to runny pancakes which wouldn't cook. And when I tried to spread them thinner with the back of a spoon then the batter would stick to the spoon and make gaping holes in what was in the pan... anyway, kind of a disaster.
      I appreciate any advice you may have.

      Thanks 🙂

        Hi - thank you so much for your feedback, I'm sorry to hear that! What type of gluten-free flour did you use?

      I also had a similar issue. I used Open Nature GF flour. It was too thick even after adding 2 cups oat milk and a splash of maple syrup. They turned out more of a think pancake than a crepe.

      In cooking them, they tended to burn on the outside but not quite cook inside. Next time I’ll have to try a slightly lower temp & see if that helps.

        Thank you so much for your feedback and so sorry to hear that. Does the gluten-free flour you used contain Xanthan gum? If so, I think that may have been the issue. I recommend Dove's Farm gluten-free flour, which doesn't contain Xanthan gum!
