Easy Vegan Crepes Recipe

(Makes 8–10 crepes)

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (or gluten-free 1:1 blend)
  • 2 tbsp sugar (omit for savory crepes)
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1¼ cups (300ml) unsweetened plant milk (oat or soy works best)
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil or melted vegan butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for sweet crepes)
  • ½ tsp lemon zest or apple cider vinegar (helps with tenderness)

Instructions:

  1. Make the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar (if using), and salt. Gradually add plant milk while whisking until smooth. Stir in oil, vanilla, and lemon zest/vinegar. The batter should be thin (like heavy cream). Let it rest for 10–15 minutes (or up to 1 hour in the fridge).
  2. Heat the pan: Place a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with oil or vegan butter.
  3. Cook the crepes: Pour about ¼ cup batter into the pan, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the edges look dry and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip gently and cook the other side for 30–60 seconds.
  4. Stack & keep warm: Transfer cooked crepes to a plate and cover with a clean towel to keep them soft and warm.
  5. Serve: Fill with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Storage: Cooked crepes keep in the fridge for 3–4 days or freeze (layered with parchment) for up to 2 months. Reheat in a dry pan.
