This is our vegan crepes recipe, even if you’re not vegan you’re gonna love it! These crepes are so spongy and soft with a delicious vanilla flavor.
We’ve used homemade soy milk, but you can use your favorite (we also use oat or almond milk sometimes). Besides, as this recipe is egg-free is lighter and is cholesterol-free.
We love this recipe because it’s so simple. The dough is ready in only 5 minutes, so it’s perfect when you have unexpected guests or if you need to eat something sweet (or salty) and you want something quick and easy.
As you can see in the photo below the crepes dough is quite liquid, otherwise they would have a dense consistency like pancakes.
We’ve used whole wheat flour, so our recipe isn’t gluten free, although you can use other types of flour such as rice or corn flour. You can use other sweetener instead of brown sugar, like white sugar, stevia, agave syrup, maple syrup or honey (if you’re not vegan).
For the filling we’ve used homemade chocolate-hazelnut spread and we also have added icing sugar on top. If you subscribe to our blog, you’ll recieve our 10 Easy Vegan Recipes eCookBook for free with 10 delicious recipes, including the chocolate-hazelnut spread recipe.
With these ingredients we made 15 crepes (we used a 8″ or 20 cm skillet). If you want to freeze crepes I recommend you to put some waxed paper between each crepe and store them in a zipper storage bag. Defrost in the fridge and warm each crepe gently in a skillet before serving.
You can also make salty crepes with this recipe, there are so many delicious fillings!

You’re gonna love these vegan crepes, they’re so spongy and soft and have a delicious vanilla flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 and 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (200 g)
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 and 1/2 to 2 cups soy milk (375–500 ml)
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. Add 1 and 1/2 cups of milk and if the batter is too thick, add more milk until you get the perfect consistency.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat with oil if needed. Pour 3 tablespoons of the batter, twirling it around to cover the whole bottom of the skillet.
- Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the batter gets darker. Loosen the edges with a butter knife and flip the crepe.
- Cook 1 minute more until brown the other side of the crepe. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Crepes can be stored for about 5 days in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer. Once cooled, stack them between layers of parchment paper and then keep them in a sealed container or a ziploc bag.
Notes
- Feel free to use other type of flour, sweetener or plant milk. Add more or less if needed.
- To make and oil-free recipe, just omit the oil or add some nut butter instead.

Hi Anenid! Thank you so much 🙂
Made these with almond milk and regular flour – absolutely delicious. Took some trial and error with the heat of the pan, which pan and the consistency of the batter but quickly got it right and they were so good. Excited to now have vegan pancakes for pancake Tuesday! Yum!

Made this today and it was delicious!

Hi Leanna! So glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Great recipe- product turned out more like a pancake than crepe. I really want to get the crepes nice and thin, i don’t want a pancake. i am guessing it’s because my batter was not thin enough even with 2 whole cups of almond milk. Taste was great so i’ll definitely still try it again.
★★★★
Hi Tina! Add more milk next time 🙂
Just made these and ohhhh so yum and quick and easy!! I added banana and maple syrup and rolled them up. Thanks for the brilliant recipe!
★★★★★
Hi Amy! So glad you enjoyed them 🙂 You’re so welcome!
BANGING!!! Put less milk and make them thicc 😉
Hi Elise! Thanks a lot for your comment 🙂
Huge success! Our two boys loved them. We needed a good recipe for egg-free crepes for Pancake Day. We used plain wheat flour and no vanilla but otherwise the same – maybe a tiny bit more liquid as other reviewers have said. We used a brand new crepe pan and am sure this is a major reason why they turned out so well. The pan was on the smallest ring at a high temperature and no oil was needed in the pan. The mixture bubbled up and turned golden on top just as the recipe suggests. I flipped it with a pallet knife and there was no sticking whatsoever. We will def use this recipe again.

Hi Dawn! I’m so happy to hear that 🙂
With ‘Pancake Day’ fast approaching I am looking for a vegan recipe however this recipe has had very mixed reviews 😧 and not sure whether to make?
Hi Dee! This recipe has 4.6 stars as you can see in the recipe box 🙂 If you follow the steps, use the same ingredients and have a good skillet, it works great.
The flavor (with the vanilla) was good, the only thing that I did differently was used almond milk instead of soy. These stuck to the pan so bad that flipping was impossible. I tried 3 different pans, different heat settings, oiled and un-oiled, with the same sticking results every time. I can’t imagine the use of almond over soy milk would cause this to be an issue, but it was frustrating to say the least. I should add that I have made crepes in the past with no issues, this recipe was a challenge.

Hi Ashley! This recipe works, it’s actually one of the most popular on the blog, as you can see in the comments. It’s probably because of the pan you’re using. You could also try to add more oil. I’m so sorry it didn’t work for you!
Ashley, I had the same problem the first time I made them. The flavor was good, but I couldn’t get them to not stick to the pan. The second time I tried making this recipe I modified it a bit. I added 3-4T of oil instead of the 1T, I used the full 2 cups of almond milk, and I used 1/2 all purpose flour and 1/2 whole wheat flour (sifted). When I first started cooking them I continued to have the same problem. I gave up and used a different recipe which cooked better. But I didn’t want to throw away all of the batter from this recipe, so I gave it one more try (after sitting there for over an hour). This time I allowed the crepe to cook longer than I normally would with non-vegan crepes and miraculously it released from the pan! The crepes ended up being a bit crispy around the edges, but I was able to get them off the pan without frustration. I don’t know if it was the extra time the batter sat or the longer cooking time that made the difference. Good luck!
Hi Sara! Thanks for your comment 🙂
Very good recipe. I added coconut milk instead of oil and added some lemon juice )))
Hi Butanka! Thanks a lot 🙂 Sounds great!

★★★★★
Hi Sophie! You’re so welcome 🙂 I’m so glad you guys liked it!
Delicious! We used regular flour and flax milk and added a little bit of almond extract in addition to the vanilla. Served with warmed hazelnut pudding and fruit, and drizzled with maple syrup and cinnamon! They came out super yummy. Thanks for the recipe!

Hi Mal! I’m so glad you liked it 🙂 Have a nice day!
These crepes are the stuff of dreams! I’ve made them with whole-wheat and white flour, and LOVED the results either way. This is definitely gonna be a staple in my recipe arsenal!
★★★★★
Hi Shreya! I’m so happy to hear that 🙂 Have a beautiful day!
Followed recipe w/o substitutions. Suggest using a scoop or cup to pour the correct amount of batter into the skillet. (Otherwise results are of various sizes). The crepes (or pancakes for the thicker ones) turned out quite tasty. I tried the recipe because my daughter, a recent vegan, was coming for brunch. I would use it again, (even without her).
★★★★
Hi Susan! So glad you liked them 🙂
these are so good i’d happily eat them without any syrup/other sweetener 🙂
★★★★★
Hi Erin! I’m so glad you like them so much 🙂 Have a nice day!
Mmmm, I haven’t had crepes in years since going vegan! Would it turn out okay if I used maple syrup as a sweetener?
Hi There! I think it could work 🙂
I used vanilla flavored almond milk and regular flour (I didn’t have a whole wheat). They came out prerfect. Even without eggs the texture came out the way it supposed to be. My kids loved them. Thank you.

Hi Tatiana! I’m so happy to hear that 🙂 You’re so welcome!
Taste is ok but the texture isn’t great! Falls apart and hard to flip

Hi Jamie! Did you follow all the steps and use the same ingredients? This is one of our most populare recipes and people love it. Maybe it was because of the skillet you use…
