Vegan Savory Stuffed Crêpes

|Updated May 2, 2022

Vegan crêpes are as easy to make at home as flipping a pancake.

These 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 rest in the fridge and simply pop them into the microwave to warm up, and add your chosen toppings.

What’s especially cool about crêpes is that you can stuff them with so many different things. 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 crêpe, then a chocolate spread, peanut butter, cashew butter, or any jam will be a great base. Add whichever frozen or fresh fruits you like, some chopped nuts, or chocolate. 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.

Savory Crêpe

(per crêpe)

Ingredients

1/2 tsp vegetable oil
1 clove of garlic, minced
1-2 cups of fresh baby spinach
1/2 cup sliced oyster and button mushrooms
1/2 tsp low sodium soy sauce (or coconut aminos for GF version)
1.5 tsp bbq sauce
2 tbsp cashews
pinch of turmeric
1/4 tsp onion powder
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp nutritional yeast
1/2 green onions, sliced
salt, pepper

Instructions

In a bowl whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.
Add oil, vinegar, and milk, and whisk together. Start to add sparkling water, whisking constantly, until you get a smooth, pancake-batter-like consistency.
Heat up a crêpe pan over medium heat. Once hot, add a ladleful of the batter, then rotate pan to spread batter thinly across the whole pan.
Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side. Repeat with remaining batter. Keep crêpes covered with a towel until ready to serve.
Serve crêpes with sweet or savory toppings of your choice.

Savory version:

Heat up oil in a skillet. Add garlic and baby spinach, and sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until spinach is wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Add mushrooms to the hot skillet, and cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are cooked through. In a small bowl whisk together soy sauce and bbq sauce.
Pour mixture over mushrooms, and stir to coat evenly. Cook for another minute.
Place cashews, turmeric, onion powder, and lemon juice to a blender, and start to process. Slowly add water, until desired consistency is reached, and cream is completely creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Top crêpe with spinach and mushrooms, and drizzle with sauce. Fold in half, then in half again, and sprinkle with green onions. Serve with any leftover sauce on the side.

Need a super budget-friendly version?

Choose whatever vegetables or fruits are in season. Frozen or canned produce are usually even cheaper
Beans and lentils are great fillings as well
Instead of cashew-based sauce make one with sunflower seeds. Or use hummus or silken tofu instead of cashews

Planning on making these crêpes extra healthy?

Use whole wheat, buckwheat, or your favorite GF flour mix instead of all-purpose flour to make these
Stuff your crêpes with lots of fresh fruits and veggies. Chop, grate, or slice them to create fun and interesting textures
