Vegan Oat Crepes (3 Ingredients)

Nourishing, flourless, vegan oat crepes, made especially plain! Made with 3 ingredients in a blender, they are tender, gluten-free,and satisfying with all kinds of toppings and fillings.

Oat Crepes Made in a Blender

Crepes are one of most versatile and satisfying recipes you can learn to make.

These especially-plain and fast oat crepes (thin pancakes) are made with three plain ingredients in the blender. No oat flour required: simply blend rolled oats with the liquid ingredients to create a smooth batter.

Paper thin, gluten-free, and straightforward to fork up (no wrestling or wriggling required), they can be filled with just about anything (think of a range from peanut butter & jelly to leftover Indian takeout). They are reliable for breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert.

Another bonus: unlike crepes made with glutinous flour, there is no need to let the batter rest before using. Simply blend whole oats with the liquid ingredients, pour, and cook!

Ingredients

• rolled oats (certified gluten-free, as needed)
• 1 cup nondairy milk (e.g., almond milk, soy milk, coconut milk)
• 1 tablespoon avocado oil (or oil of choice, such as coconut oil, safflower oil, olive oil)
• Optional: 1/8 teaspoon salt

Step by Step Instructions

Note that the complete instructions are also in the recipe card below.

1. In a blender, process the oats, non dairy milk, oil, and optional salt until blended and completely smooth. The batter should look like cream.
2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Ladle about 3 tablespoons batter into the skillet with a small ladle or measuring cup. Immediately tilt and rotate the pan to spread the batter evenly over the bottom.
3. Cook the crepe until the underside is lightly browned, about 30 seconds. Using a small spatula, lift the edge of the crepe, quickly grasp it with your fingers and flip.
4. Cook until the second side is lightly browned, about 20 seconds longer. Slide the crepe onto a plate.If serving immediately, fill and roll up like a jellyroll or fold the crepe into quarters (I prefer this for savory).
5. Continue to cook crepes with the remaining batter, re-heating the pan as needed and stacking crepes as you go.
