Oat Flour Crepes
Oat flour crepes are a healthy, versatile breakfast that can be made sweet or savory. Naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, and made with a handful of simple ingredients you likely already have in your pantry.
Ingredients
- 1 ⅓ cup oat flour see notes
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 4 eggs
- 1 tbsp coconut sugar or substitute
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a large mixing bowl and whisk together until a batter has formed (a few lumps are fine). Alternatively, you can add the ingredients to a blender for a super-smooth batter. Let the batter rest for a few minutes while you heat up your pan.
- Heat an 8-inch cast iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, add a little oil (coconut oil or avocado oil spray) or dairy-free butter. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the center of your pan and quickly tilt the pan in a circular motion until the batter covers the bottom of the pan.
- Cook the crepes for about 30 seconds to 1 minute or until the edges start to curl up and you see small bubbles on the surface. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Repeat with the remaining batter until you've used it all up. Stack your oatmeal crepes on a plate covered with a tea towel at room temperature to keep warm until serving.
- This recipe makes 9, 8-inch crepes.

Make It Your Way: Substitutions & Variations
No oat flour? - make your own by adding old-fashioned whole oats to a high-powered blender or food processor. Make sure to buy certified gluten-free oats if needed.
No oat milk? - use another non-dairy milk such as almond milk, cashew milk, or soy milk. You can also use full-fat canned coconut milk but reduce it to 1/2 cup and use 1/2 cup of water, otherwise, the batter will be too thick.
No coconut sugar? - use brown sugar, organic cane sugar, or maple syrup.
Make them savory - leave out the coconut sugar and vanilla extract, and add any savory ingredients such as fresh herbs, garlic powder, etc.
