Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.5 cup Water
• 1 tablespoon Ground flaxseed
• 2 tablespoons Vegan butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken. This will act as our egg substitute.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.

Step 3

In another bowl, combine the almond milk, 0.5 cup of water, melted vegan butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and the prepared flaxseed mixture.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to ensure there are no lumps. The batter should be smooth and thin.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Once hot, lightly grease it with a small amount of vegan butter or cooking spray.

Step 6

Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the center of the pan, then tilt and rotate the pan quickly to spread the batter evenly across the bottom.

Step 7

Cook the crepe for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden.

Step 8

Carefully flip the crepe using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Step 9

Transfer the crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as necessary.

Step 10

Serve the crepes warm with your choice of fillings such as fresh fruits, vegan chocolate spread, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
