Delicious and Easy Vegan Crepes Recipe

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups almond milk, unsweetened
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons melted coconut oil, plus extra for the pan

Steps and instructions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
Add the almond milk, water, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with some coconut oil.
Once the pan is hot, pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the center of the pan. Immediately tilt and rotate the pan to spread the batter evenly across the surface.
Cook the crepe until the edges are slightly crisp and golden, about 2-3 minutes.
Use a spatula to carefully flip the crepe and cook the other side until it's lightly golden, about 1 minute.
Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Once all the crepes are done, you can fill them with your favorite vegan fillings such as fruit, jam, or vegan whipped cream, and serve.

Origin stories

Crepes, those delicate and thin pancakes that we love, trace their origins back to Brittany, a region in northwest France. Their history dates back to the 13th century when buckwheat, the original ingredient for crepes, was introduced in Brittany. The word "crepe" itself comes from the Latin term "crispa" which means "curled", quite fitting for a dish that's often rolled or folded around fillings. Interestingly, there's a custom in France known as "La Chandeleur" or "Candlemas" where it's traditional to hold a coin in your writing hand and a crepe pan in the other, and flip the crepe into the air. If you manage to catch the crepe in the pan, your family will be prosperous for the rest of the year. Now, isn't that a fun tradition? Even though crepes are not originally vegan, this recipe adapts the traditional method to cater to vegan dietary choices, proving that good food can be enjoyed by all.
