Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Chickpea flour (besan)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0 Vegan butter or oil spray (for cooking)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, chickpea flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
Step 2
Gradually add almond milk and water to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to create a smooth batter. Make sure there are no lumps.
Step 3
Stir in the olive oil into the batter and let it rest for about 5 minutes to allow the chickpea flour to absorb some liquid.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with vegan butter or oil spray.
Step 5
Using a ladle, pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan, swirling or tilting the pan immediately to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.
Step 6
Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the edges start to lift away and the surface appears set. Carefully flip the crepe using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until lightly golden.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the pan slightly in between each crepe if needed.
Step 8
Serve the crepes warm with your choice of vegan fillings such as sautéed vegetables, vegan cheese, fruit preserves, or a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar.
