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 recommended)
Apple Filling
- 3 apples, peeled, cored, and chopped (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp suggested)
- 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
- Make the Crepe Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, rice flour, cornstarch, coconut sugar, ground flax seeds, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until well combined to form the dry mix.
- Blend Wet Ingredients: In a blender, combine the plant-based milk, banana, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until you have a smooth batter. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow it to thicken and develop smoother texture.
- Preheat Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat the surface with oil to prevent sticking and help crepes brown evenly.
- Cook Crepes: Pour ¼ cup of batter into the skillet, swirling to evenly cover the surface. Cook for about 2-4 minutes until the edges lift easily, then flip and cook on the other side for 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 continuously and cook until apples soften and the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Assemble Crepes: Spoon a generous amount of the warm apple filling onto each crepe. Roll the crepes gently and place them on a warm serving plate to keep warm.
- Serve: Drizzle your favorite homemade caramel sauce over the crepes for an irresistible finishing touch. Enjoy warm as a comforting breakfast or dessert treat.
Notes
- Letting the batter rest for 5 minutes improves crepe texture, making them softer and fluffier.
- Stack cooked crepes and cover with a kitchen towel to keep them warm and prevent drying out.
- Use two pans simultaneously—one for crepes, one for apple filling—to speed up cooking.
- Different apple varieties like Honeycrisp and Granny Smith add unique sweet-tart flavors to the filling.
- Cooking on medium heat ensures crepes are golden without burning, while staying tender inside.
