Ingredients

Scale

Crepe Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups plant-based milk
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • Pinch of salt

Suggested Fillings (Optional)

  • Fresh berries and maple syrup (natural)
  • Sautéed spinach and crumbled tofu seasoned with herbs
  • Plant-based chocolate spread and sliced bananas
  • Sautéed mushrooms and caramelized onions
  • Sugar and fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour with the plant-based milk until smooth and free of lumps. Add the vegetable oil, maple syrup (natural), vanilla extract (natural), natural gelling agent, and salt, then whisk again until the batter has a thin, pourable consistency.
  2. Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly brush it with vegetable oil to ensure the crepes do not stick and cook evenly.
  3. Cook the Crepes: Pour a small amount of batter into the center of the pan, then quickly tilt and swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even circle. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges begin to lift slightly, then flip and cook the other side for another 30 seconds. Remove and repeat with remaining batter.
  4. Fill and Serve: Spread your desired filling across the crepe, then fold or roll it for easy eating. Garnish as you like and enjoy immediately, or keep warm in a low oven while cooking the rest.

Notes

  • Rest the batter for at least 15 minutes to improve texture and reduce bubbles.
  • Use a non-stick pan for easier flipping and to prevent tearing.
  • Adjust plant-based milk to keep batter thin but pourable.
  • Cook crepes on medium heat to avoid burning and ensure even cooking.
  • Brush pan lightly with oil for a non-greasy finish.
