Easy Vegan Apple Cinnamon Crepes
Ingredients
Dry mix
- 1 cup (90 g) oats ground into flour or oat flour (*see notes)
- 1/2 cup (80 g) rice flour (*see notes)
- 4 tbsp (32 g) cornstarch or arrowroot flour
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar or brown sugar
- 1 tbsp flax seeds ground or chia seeds
- 1 tsp baking powder
Wet mix
- 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) plant-based milk I used canned lite coconut milk (*see notes)
- 1 small (80 g) banana (*see notes)
- 1/2 tbsp lemon juice or lime juice
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- oil for frying
Apple filling
- 3 apples peeled, cored, and chopped
- 3 tbsp coconut sugar or brown sugar
- 2 tbsp plant-based milk
- 1/2 tbsp lemon juice or lime juice
- 1/2 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Preparation
To make the crepes simply put all dry ingredients into a bowl and stir with a whisk
Process all wet ingredients (except the oil) in a food processor or blender
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir with a whisk to combine
Let the batter rest for a few minutes. Heat a little oil in a small/medium-sized non-stick skillet over medium heat
Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet, and spread it with the back of a ladle. Cook for about 2-4 minutes or until you can easily lift a side of the crepe (don't try to flip the crepe too early). After you flipped the crepe, cook for a further 1-2 minutes
Note: After a while, the batter will get thicker, so you might need to add more milk. I typically add up to 50 ml in addition once the batter thickens. Continue until you have no batter left
For the apple filling, simply add all ingredients to a skillet or saucepan and stir (without heat). Then turn on the heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Let simmer for a few minutes over low/medium heat
Place a few tsp of filling onto each crepe, roll it up and serve with a drizzle of caramel sauce (see recipe below in the notes). Enjoy!
Tips
Use oat flour or grind oats for the dry mix as noted
Canned lite coconut milk is recommended for the wet mix, but other plant-based milks can be substituted
Banana adds natural sweetness and binding in the wet mix
Lemon or lime juice helps with acidity and flavor balance
Adjust milk in batter if it thickens during cooking
