Long before I tasted the big fluffy American pancakes, I was eating crepes, thin, lacy and so delicate. My mom used to make stacks for me, serve them simply with honey and almonds. Now I make them too, except I’ve got an Easy Vegan Crepes recipe with a bunch of different toppings!
Classic crepes will always have a special place in my heart, but since my children literally inhale their pancakes, I wanted to do a healthier version for them. Well for us too. Thus, these easy vegan crepes.
They are definitely lighter, even with the different fillings. I’ve used oats and sorghum flour( jowar atta) here and kept it dairy-free. Instead of regular milk, I use light coconut milk, sometimes my homemade ALMOND MILK or even soy milk, since I digest dairy-free milk better.
I was so sceptical about making these without eggs, but they work out just fine. No brittle or mushy crepes. Maybe it’s also because I make them small. And they do stay soft so long as they aren’t overcooked. I’ve read that flaxmeal in the batter also binds the crepes well. I’m yet to try that. But if you do, please do let me know.
These vegan crepes were absolutely wonderful with different fillings. We loved the combination of chocolate almond butter & cherries , crunchy peanut butter & banana and plain unsweetened Greek yogurt & mango. They make for a perfectly filling and deeply satisfying breakfast that keeps you going for a few hours without any sluggishness. Oh and these would be smashing with savoury fillings too! Just omit the sugar and fill them with vegetables, meats, cheese of your choice. What a lovely light lunch that would be!
NOTES:
- These crepes cook well on medium to high heat. Low heat makes them hard and dry.
- Do grease the pans well.
- If you’re serving later, keep the crepes stacked up and covered. This will keep them soft.
- You can make these crepes GLUTENFREE by using glutenfree oats.
- This recipe has been adapted from NADIASHEALTHYKITCHEN.

Have tried these twice and they are simply amazing ! Have a nutty flavor that we all prefer over white flour based pancakes/crepes. This one has become a keeper. Thanks a lot. Do you need to mix coconut oil in the batter or is that only for greasing the pan ?
Hi Megha, I’m so happy to hear how much you enjoy these crepes! Thank you very much.
The coconut oil goes in the batter, you can use extra oil for greasing the pan. 🙂
