Perfectly lacy crêpes, without gluten or eggs! 

These beauties are both delicious and low in sugar. They contain just 9 simple ingredients, which are mainstays of the gluten free pantry. These come together with 15 minutes of active cook and prep time, but to achieve the best results we highly advise letting your batter rest for 30 minutes. Use this time to whip up your 5 Minute Berry & Chia Jam, if you are using it. Gluten free flour will make the crêpes a little stickier and more delicate than usual, so be sure to cook the crêpes until golden on the bottom, with the edges starting to crisp and pull away from the pan. Add more vegan butter as needed to prevent sticking. Cooking the crêpes on too high a heat will cause them to burn before the batter sets, so a medium-high heat is the perfect setting!

Variations of these crêpes have been a client favourite when I do restaurant and brand consulting, and they have seen a range of sweet and savoury toppings. Don’t be afraid to stray from the recipe, as poached and roasted fruit, and even the classic lemon and brown sugar topping, is so delicious here. You can also go savoury with a creamy and coconut mushroom ragu or fill them with a mixture of greens and vegan cheese (served alongside a herb salad) for a perfect light supper situation.
