The best and only vegan crêpes recipe you need to know! Learn how to make eggless crêpes at home! Can be paired with sweet or savory fillings.
With the right recipe, you can make vegan crêpes without eggs in no time. They taste delicious, can be filled sweet or savory, and are very popular among children.
Crêpes are typically served for breakfast or as a dessert with a sweet filling. But you can also fill them savory and serve them as a snack, lunch, or dinner.
This basic recipe for French crêpes (with egg) is one of my readers’ favorites. Since you all are so into crêpes, it was clear that a vegan version of it is needed. And let me tell you, vegan crêpes taste just as delicious as the original. Since the batter is made without eggs, it has a slightly different texture. However, adding baking powder makes it just as fluffy. It also helps if you don’t use quite as much butter for frying.
In this recipe, you will learn how to make vegan crêpes at home! You can find tips, tricks, and filling ideas below!
Note: Eggless crêpe batter is a little more difficult to handle than classic crêpe batter made with eggs, but it succeeds if you follow the recipe. It’s important to use the exact amounts according to the recipe.
If the batter is too thin (= too little flour), the crêpes may crack when frying. Solution: add a little more flour to the batter and mix again briefly.
If the batter is too thick (= too much flour), they will become more like vegan pancakes instead of thin crêpes. That’s ok if you like that. Solution: add a small splash of oat milk and mix again briefly.
It’s easier to cook vegan crêpe batter with too much flour than with too little. If you have difficulty cooking the dairy-free crêpes (they stick or break), you can add ½ tablespoon more flour to the batter and mix again briefly.

- Combine oat milk, flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, sugar, and salt in a stand mixer or food processor and blend well until you have a smooth batter. You may need to scrape down the sides and blend again. → Tip: Add the oat milk first and then the flour so that the flour does not stick to the bottom of the mixer!
- Let the vegan crêpe batter rest for 30 minutes at room temperature. → Improves the texture of the batter and makes it easier to cook.
- Heat a non-stick pan (or crêpe pan) over medium-high heat and a little vegan butter or oil. → Don’t use too much vegan butter or the batter will be mixed with the fat and is a bit more difficult to handle.
- Pour about ¼ cup of the batter (depending on the pan size – I use a ø9-10inch frying pan) into the center of the pan. Swirl the pan until the pan is evenly covered with the batter.
- Cook each side of the crêpe for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. → Flip over with the help of a spatula.
- Add more vegan butter to the pan, then repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Serve warm with your favorite filling (ideas below).

These crepes are very good but the batter is thick so I end up having to add quite a bit more milk than the recipe states. 🙂
Hi Danie, thank you for sharing your experience! So glad you still enjoyed the crepes even though you had to adjust the recipe a little! 💕

Thank you for the recipe, its awesome, my doughters and the whole family loves them! I replaced a little bit of the flour for oats (40 grams) and it was even easier to make them thin!
