VEGAN + GLUTEN FREE CREPES
Monday 03.24.14 
It took me five rounds of batter and failed crepes to get this recipe right, there were many a crepetastrophe! But in the end it was worth every bit of it, they're so delicious and the perfect weekend brunch treat! Filled with chocolate hazelnut spread and bananas- they're divine. I do have to warn you, getting the crepes perfectly thin in the pan takes a bit of practice. The trick, I found, involves moving the pan around to spread the batter as soon as you pour and using just the right amount of batter. Once you nail it though, I think you're good for life. And then you have years of vegan, gluten free crepes in your future. And what a future it is!!! Enjoy! xx- Sarah
VEGAN + GLUTEN FREE CREPES W/ CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT SPREAD AND BANANAS
Yields approximately 6-8 crepes.
Ingredients
1 cup brown rice flour
1 cup oat flour
3 tablespoons date sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons ground flax
coconut oil
2-3 large ripe bananas
Method
- Combine 2 tablespoons of ground flax with 6 tablespoons of warm water in small bowl. Mix well and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

- Refrigerate batter for one hour.
- Heat a 9 inch non-stick frying pan over low heat adding enough coconut oil to lightly coat the pan.
- Pour 1/2 cup of mix into pan at an angle, spreading batter out using circular spinning motion. If batter is too thick add additional water to mixture one tablespoon at a time.
- Cook on low heat for 1-2 minutes or until crepe is evenly browned and edges start to peel away from sides of pan.
- Gently flip in pan and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Repeat until all the batter is used up.

I don't need to be vegan or gluten free, so I had no idea how hard pancakes would be, so well done and congratulations on finally getting these right, because they look fantastic!
I haven't had crepes in a while and I haven't made them in even longer! These look amazing - I'll definitely need to whip these up soon!

oh my. these look divine!
Would this work as pancake batter as well?
Thanks everyone! @Tracy, I'm not sure! It would be worth a shot! :)
Holy yum these look amazing!
I'm pretty sure the only time I've had a crepe was in high school when a French language class made them and shared with the Spanish class (which I was in). I didn't love them. That said, I don't think crepes made by high school students should be the only crepes I ever try. This recipe has inspired me to give them another chance. :)
PS - I am a new reader of your blog and I am absolutely loving it. I enjoy your writing style and the beautiful photos.
OMG I want these so badly right now!!!!
