Vegan Crepes! (Inspired by Crepes from the NOLA French Quarter!)

YUMMMMMMM

I woke up wanting crepes and wanted to make and eat them immediately. 15 minutes was as close as I could get to "immediately" by using this awesome fast 3 ingredient vegan crepe recipe from Loving It Vegan! This was my first time making them so with practice I'm sure I'll be able to get them thinner and more perfect. These crepes can be eaten savory (as a meal, like with hummus, or pesto, and/or veggies) or sweet (stuffed/topped with fruits, syrup, sugar, coconut cream, cookie butter, nut butters etc.) This recipe is for the basic crepes themselves and here I doubled the recipe to make 8 of them (if you make them thinner you should be able to get 5-6 out of each batch according to the recipe). You can then add any toppings you'd like Enjoy!




Ingredients:

1 cup flour (I used whole wheat- experiment with gluten free flours to make them gluten free!)
1 cup non-dairy milk
1 flax egg (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseeds + 3 tablespoons water)
oil for cooking

Instructions:

Combine flax egg ingredients and allow to sit for a few minutes while you whisk together the flour and milk in a mixing bowl. Add flax egg and mix everything well.

Heat a frying pan/skillet and cover with oil (I used coconut oil). Pour a thin layer of batter in the pan and swirl it around so it gets larger and flatter. If the pan is on high heat it should cook really fast, and you can then flip it over. Once both sides are fully cooked but not burnt, transfer to a plate. Cook up all your crepes and enjoy with any toppings and stuffings of your choice!
