You're currently reading this post while I'm in Seoul, Korea!
Woot Woot!
It's always fun to travel to new countries and Brett and I are definitely trying to make the most of living in China and being neighbors with so many beautiful countries in South East Asia. I'll definitely be sharing a South Korea recap when we get back, but for now let's talk about these Vegan Crepes.
So, remember the friend that had the amazing you-should-turn-okara-into-hummus-idea? Well, she has quickly become my best friend here in China which means she's over at our house often. We love to watch movies together, chat, go shopping, get boba tea after class, get sucked into Youtube, and more recently experiment in the kitchen. Being a food blogger, I need friends in my life that also love food and don't mind tasting the results of my experiments. We are often whipping up warming, comforting drinks or desserts together to enjoy while watching a movie.
Lately we've been getting really into brunch foods and that's how these Vegan Crepes were born. Brett, my friend and I often hangout on Sunday mornings together and so we've started a tradition of either eating a late breakfast or lunch together and it usually turns into a feast. I decided to whip up an easy Vegan Crepe batter and test it out the other week and the result was a definite winner. I couldn't believe how easy they were to prepare and even to make. Crepes have always scared me in the past because of how runny the batter is and how thin you need to make each crepe. I thought for sure they'd all stick to the pan or I'd be unable to make a circular shape, but gosh they were easy!
I decided to film a little video on how I made them so hopefully seeing me make them will give you the courage to make them yourself. They are absolutely delicious stuffed with nut butter, cookie butter, sliced banana, granola, dried fruit, jelly, coconut whipped cream, maple syrup, cinnamon apples and the list goes on!
I also plan to experiment with whole wheat crepes and savory crepes when we get back from Korea so stay tuned for that!
Until then, please give these Vegan Crepes a try and let me know how they turn out for you! Leave a comment down below or take a picture and tag #theconscientiouseater on Instagram so I can see your creation!

Sally says
What might I do to make it savory?
Faith VanderMolen says
I would start by omitting the sugar and adding a touch more salt. You could try adding in some other spices or nutritional yeast too!
Scarlett says
Hi Faith, can you keep the batter for longer than 2 hours? Like over night?
Faith says
I haven’t tried that, but I’d say go for it! You may have to reblend it or add a smidge more liquid in the morning. Let me know if you try it and whether it works or not!
Stacie says
Could u use almond milk instead?
Faith says
Hi Stacie! Yes, any kind of milk would work!
Yanine says

Casey the College Celiac says
Saving this recipe for later! Love how simple it is. I've never had crepes before, but I love pancakes so crepes sound like my kind of brunch!
Faith says
Yay! I hope you make them sometime Casey. Let me know if you do and what you think!
