Sweet Vegan Crêpes Filled with Nutella, Hazelnuts, and Raspberries

|Updated Feb 1, 2022

Vegan crêpes are very easy to make at home and perfect to make for a special occasion like Valentine's Day.

Crêpes can be served for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner. They are best when fresh, but the leftovers make for a great meal as well. So you can make a larger batch of crêpes at once, then keep the leftovers in the fridge and simply pop them into the microwave to warm up, then add your chosen toppings.

What’s especially cool about crêpes is that you can stuff them with so many different things, both sweet and savory. Raw, cooked, steamed, or roasted veggies, canned legumes, vegan cheese, chopped nuts, fresh greens, leftover vegan chicken, grilled tofu, hummus, cashew spread…the options are endless.

If you prefer a sweet version, then a chocolate spread, peanut butter, cashew butter, or any jam will be a great base. Then simply add whatever frozen or fresh fruits you like, some chopped nuts, or chocolate if you like. Ice cream or coconut whipped cream can be really fun additions as well.

You can keep your crêpes open, fold them in half or into triangles, or roll them into little logs.

You can also serve them enchilada style. Place them into a baking dish, top with vegan cheese, and bake until cheese is melted and bubbly.
