Vegan and Gluten-Free Crepes (2024)

Vegan and Gluten-Free Crepes

Delicious vegan and gluten-free crepes made with oat flour and filled with a protein yoghurt filling to help you feeling full and sustained until lunch time.

I try to start my day with oats. It’s such a nutritious alternative to white bread/flour especially first thing in the morning.I also try to make sure my breakfast contain some protein and a bit of fat to help keep my blood sugar steady.Eating a carby breakfast like bread, cereal or even porridge without any form of fat and protein leaves mewith terrible sugar crashes feeling jittery, irritable and unable to concentrate only an hour after eating! Notideal when trying to have a productive day.

I really do believe that breakfast is the most important mealof the day. I know for myself when I don’t eat a good hearty breakfast, I feel so much hungrier later on in theday especially in evenings when I start craving sweet foods. Skipping breakfast is the worst for me. I’ll be fine during the day, but come 8-9pm you’ll find me raiding the cupboards for anythingcarby and sugary. I’ll feel this hollow feeling and void in my stomach that no food will satisfy. That’s until I’ve eaten half the cupboards content and suddenly find myself feeling sick.

These vegan and gluten-free crepes are so easy to make and they’re quite fillingbecause of the fibre in the oats as well as protein and healthy fats in the filling. They would make the perfect Sunday brunch treat with the family.

I don’t usually indulge in chocolate first thing in the morning, but I used it in this case for aesthetic/photography purposes. Chocolate just makes food look so much more inviting! Plus a little drizzle of melted chocolate never hurt anyone. If you want to leave out the chocolate,drizzling a bit of runny tahini or nut butter would be the healthier option.

Personally, I love a breakfast with a balanced ratio of protein, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats. Beans are wonderful because they’re high in fiber, protein, and iron, as well as whole grain cereal or oatmeal with flaxseed, blueberries, spinach, and almond milk! Great combination of ingredients! Anyhow, if I had more time in the morning, I would definitely make these crepes. They look exquisite with the chocolate, raspberries, and protein yogurt filling! No one would know that these are secretly healthy!

Hi Nadia. Saw your recipe and as it’s Sunday, just had to try. I was a bit bewildered by no flax eggs? Sorry. But I added just in case. The filling tastes delicious. Haven’t cooked them up yet as waiting for my daughters to rise. Looks brilliant. Thankyou! Regards Cubby

Well I made them and they turned out deliciously. I think I’ll omit the flaxseed next time asI had to cook them longer as it was fairly moist inside. Do you let your batter sit Nadia? I did. The batter had a wafer edge with delectable sweetness. Thankyou again for a delicious recipe. I’ve posted on my Instagram page with acknowledgement to you xxx Cubby xxx Tundla on Instagram

Crepe batter shouldn't be the consistency of pancake batter. It should be extremely thin!
