Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: French
Serves: 8 crepes
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free flour
- 1 1/2 cups almond milk
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, sift the gluten-free flour to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth batter consistency.
- Add the pinch of salt to the flour and create a small well in the center of the dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
- Let the batter rest for 10 minutes at room temperature to allow the flour to fully absorb the liquid and develop a smooth texture.
- Heat a non-stick crepe pan or large flat skillet over medium heat, lightly brushing with additional coconut oil.
- Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan, quickly tilting and rotating the pan to spread the batter in a thin, even layer.
- Cook the crepe for 2-3 minutes until the edges begin to look dry and the bottom is golden brown.
- Carefully flip the crepe using a thin spatula and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer the completed crepe to a plate and repeat the process with remaining batter, stacking crepes between parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Serve warm with your favorite vegan toppings such as fresh berries, dairy-free whipped cream, or maple syrup.
Tips
- Sift the Flour: Make sure to sift the gluten-free flour before mixing to eliminate lumps and ensure a smooth batter.
- Rest the Batter: Allowing the batter to rest for 10 minutes is crucial. This helps the flour absorb the liquid fully, resulting in a better texture.
- Control the Heat: Keep your pan at medium heat. If it’s too hot, the crepes can burn quickly. A non-stick pan is ideal for easy flipping.
- Perfecting the Spread: When pouring the batter, quickly tilt and rotate the pan to create a thin, even layer. This technique is key to achieving that classic crepe texture.
- Stack with Care: After cooking, stack your crepes with parchment paper in between to prevent them from sticking together.
- Experiment with Fillings: Get creative with your fillings! Try fresh fruits, vegan whipped cream, or even savory options like sautéed vegetables or vegan cheese.
- Serve Immediately: For the best taste and texture, serve the crepes warm. They can be reheated in a pan for a few seconds if needed.
