Looking for an afternoon snack? These vegan crepes are so delicious and so easy to make. They’re dairy and egg-free, but as delicious as the classic ones. They’re the perfect option for when you’re craving something sweet, easy but versatile, and that doesn’t require turning on the oven. Oh, and… made with only pantry staples. Perfect as an afternoon snack, weekend breakfast (or, why not, a make-ahead week breakfast?), or as dessert. They’re delicious on their own or enjoyed with your favorite toppings.
You’ll love them because… well, who doesn’t love crepes? But seriously, they’re delicious, slightly elastic, with the right amount of sweetness, soft and light. Top them with fresh fruits, compotes, pumpkin butter, nuts, melted dark chocolate, shredded coconut, plant-based yogurt, honey (if you’re not vegan), or maple syrup. Or, you could also go for a sweet and salty option, by filling your crepes with vegan cheese or vegan ham (beware of this products’ nutritional facts), sauteed veggies… it’s up to your imagination.

- Heat a medium-sized, non-stick pan to medium heat.
- Once heated add a tiny bit of olive oil, coconut oil, or margarine to grease the pan.
