Whether it’s pancake day, a lazy Saturday morning or a special treat, this vegan crepe recipe omits the eggs but none of the flavour. Gram flour (chickpea flour) replaces the egg for the texture and flavour, making it totally vegan and super easy. You can make your pancake mix using either a food processor for ease, or simply with a seive and whisk. Opt for traditional sugar and lemon, or get creative with your toppings with chocolate spreads and berries.
ingredients
325ml water
200g plain flour

2 tbsp caster sugar (can add a little more or less depending how sweet you like your crepes)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon (to add flavour but optional)
Pinch of salt
Icing sugar to dust
serve with
Lemon and sugar

method
Add the water to a food processor or blender, then the chickpea flour and blend until smooth. Next add the plain flour, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon (optional) and a pinch of salt. Blitz until a smooth batter. The consistency should be slightly thinner than a normal pancake batter. You can use immediately, no need to rest the batter. If you don’t have a food processor, simply seive the flours and whisk until smooth in a large bowl.
Lightly brush a large (24-30cm) frying pan with vegetable oil. Add approx 1/4 cup - 1/3 cup (4 tbsp) of batter mix to the pan and rotate to spread thinly around, creating a crepe of about 24cm across.
Cook one side for around 2-3 mins. Once the underside starts to brown it will loosen so you’re able to flip. Cook the other side for about 2-3mins and remove onto a warmed plate. Keep warm in the oven, whilst making the remainder.
Continue, adding more oil when necessary, until all the batter is used. It should make around approximately 8-12 vegan crepes (depending on the size). Fill, fold, dust with a little icing sugar and serve.

notes
Don’t fancy plain lemon and sugar? The world is your oyster when it comes to fillings! Start with something soft/spreadable and then add fruit or something crunchy, whatever you fancy! Try out chocolate spread and berries. Biscoff spread, cinnamon and stewed apples. Maple syrup, bananas and crushed pecans. Coconut yoghurt, blueberries and maple syrup
Fancy savoury vegan crepes? Leave out the sugar, vanilla and cinnamon and fill with vegan cheese and meat slice alternative while on the pan to heat and melt through.
