Buckwheat Crepes Savory
A simple and quick vegan recipe for crepes that you can have for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The slightly nutty flavor from buckwheat is particularly good with some tasty savory fillings, but you can totally make these vegan crepes sweet with fruit, chocolate, nut butters, whipped cream, and maple syrup.

Ingredients:

NameMetricUSTIP
Raw Buckwheat Groats150 gr3/4 cup
Make sure you're using hulled non roasted buckwheat.They'll be a light brown or a little greenish in color. Hulled buckwheat groats have a mild taste which is perfect for baked goods.
Coconut Milk170 ml3/4 cup
You can use different types of milk: almond milk, oat milk or just water.
Water100 ml1/2 cup
Baking Soda3 gr1/2 teaspoon
Apple Cider Vinegar / Lemon Juice15 ml1 tablespoon
You can use White Vinegar too. Baking soda needs an acidic ingredient to produce carbon dioxide. The small bubbles of carbon dioxide gas become trapped in the dough, causing it to rise.
Salt3 gr1/2 teaspoon
Vegetable Oil30 ml2 tablespoon
You can use any mild-flavored oil, such as coconut oil, grapeseed oil, or avocado oil.

Optional Ingredients for sweet version:

3 ml / ½ teaspoon Vanilla
15 gr / 1 tbsp Sweetener ( Maple Syrup, Honey or Coconut Sugar)
3 gr / ½ teaspoon Cinnamon

Equipment:

Blender
Crepe pan or non-stick skillet

Steps:

  1. Rinse Buckwheat (3/4 cup), then add to a large bowl and cover with twice the amount of water. Soak at room temperature for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  2. Drain and rinse once more the soaked buckwheat.
  3. In a blender, combine all the ingredients soaked Buckwheat, Water (½ cup), Coconut Milk (¾ cup), Baking Soda (½ tsp), Salt, Apple Cider Vinegar (1 tbsp), Vegetable Oil (2 tbsp), and blend until smooth.
  4. Let it rest on the counter for 10 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile preheat a skillet over medium heat. This step is very important, so crepes will not stick to the pan! The pan should be heated to medium before adding the batter. If the heat is too high, the batter won’t spread to the edges of the pan before setting, and can result in holes or uneven thickness.
  6. Brush the pan very lightly with oil.
  7. Coat the pan with about 1/3 cup of crepe batter, cook until the edges start to brown, then flip the crepe. Cook for 10 more seconds and remove from the pan. Continue with the rest of the crepes, adjusting heat up or down. You should yield 8 crepes.
  8. Serve with any savory or sweet filling (we served it with Liver Pate).
