Description
Oat flour crepes are a healthy and versatile breakfast option that can be served sweet or savory. Naturally gluten-free and dairy-free, these crepes are made with simple pantry ingredients and cooked quickly on the stovetop for a light and delicious meal.
Ingredients
Crepe Batter
- 1 ⅓ cup oat flour
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 4 eggs
- 1 tbsp oil (coconut oil or avocado oil spray for cooking)
- ¼ tsp salt
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Mix the batter: Add all the ingredients to a large mixing bowl and whisk together until a batter has formed. A few lumps are fine, or use a blender for a super-smooth batter. Let the batter rest for a few minutes to hydrate the flour.
- Heat the pan: Place an 8-inch cast iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, add a small amount of oil or dairy-free butter to grease the pan.
- Cook the crepes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan, tilting the pan immediately in a circular motion so the batter spreads thinly and evenly across the bottom.
- First side cooking: Cook the crepe for 30 seconds to 1 minute until the edges start to curl and small bubbles form on the surface.
- Flip and cook other side: Carefully flip the crepe using a spatula and cook the other side for about 30 seconds until lightly browned.
- Repeat the process: Continue cooking the remaining batter in the same way, stacking finished crepes on a plate covered with a tea towel at room temperature to keep warm until serving.
Notes
- The oat flour used can be store-bought or homemade by finely grinding rolled oats.
- For a sweeter version, add a tablespoon of maple syrup or vanilla extract to the batter.
- These crepes can be served with a variety of fillings such as fresh fruit, nut butter, or savory vegetables and tofu.
- Using a non-stick pan or well-seasoned cast iron skillet helps prevent sticking.
- Batter resting is important to allow the flour to absorb liquid for better texture.
