Ingredients
Scale
Crepe Batter
- 1 cup oats ground into flour or pre-made oat flour
- ½ cup rice flour
- 4 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot flour
- 2 tablespoon coconut sugar or brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon flax seeds ground or chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 ½ cups plant-based milk (light coconut milk recommended)
- 1 small banana or unsweetened applesauce
- ½ tablespoon lemon juice or lime juice
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Oil for frying (coconut or vegetable oil preferred)
Apple Filling
- 3 apples peeled, cored, and chopped (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 tablespoon coconut sugar or brown sugar
- 2 tablespoon plant-based milk
- ½ tablespoon lemon juice or lime juice
- ½ teaspoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the oat flour, rice flour, cornstarch, coconut sugar, ground flax seeds, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Blend Wet Ingredients: In a blender, combine the plant-based milk, banana, lemon juice, and vanilla extract, blending until smooth and creamy.
- Combine Batter: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently to create a smooth batter. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to achieve a fluffier texture.
- Heat Skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with oil.
- Cook Crepes: Pour ¼ cup of batter into the skillet, swirling it to evenly coat the surface. Cook until edges lift easily, about 2-4 minutes, then flip and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Prepare Apple Filling: In a separate pan over medium heat, combine chopped apples, cinnamon, coconut sugar, plant-based milk, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir and cook until apples soften, approximately 5 minutes.
- Assemble Crepes: Spoon a generous amount of the warm apple filling onto each crepe, roll gently, and place them on a warm serving plate.
- Finish and Serve: Drizzle with your favorite homemade caramel sauce and serve warm for an irresistible treat.
Notes
- Letting the batter rest for 5 minutes results in softer and fluffier crepes.
- Keep cooked crepes warm by stacking them on a plate covered with a kitchen towel to prevent drying.
- Mix different apple varieties like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp for a balanced sweet-tart flavor.
- Cook on medium heat to avoid burning and ensure even cooking.
- Using two pans simultaneously—one for crepes and one for filling—speeds up the cooking process.
- Substitute flax seeds with chia seeds and banana with unsweetened applesauce if needed.
