We love a simple weekend brunch, especially when it involves homemade dairy-free crepes. These light & fluffy crepes are great dairy-free recipe for breakfast for a delicious and lazy weekend brunch. The batter takes about 5 minutes to make, each crepe about 2 minutes to cook, and in no time you have a simple and delicious stack of crepes to serve up hot. Add your favorite stuffing or toppings to these and enjoy!
 
This is a variation of a Swedish classic thin pancakes “Tunn Pakaka” that my sister-in-law Lorah and her husband Brad passed along to me. Their original family recipe did contain normal milk/butter, I just made some quick substitutions on the fly. I actually used fresh homemade almond milk, and it was fantastic!

These thin crepes are a far cry from American-style pancakes. These cooked crepes are light, airy, and an easy breakfast idea with our dairy products.

What’s In These Crepes without Milk?

See the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!

  • All Purpose Flour: I normally use all purpose flour for all my recipes, I love the consistency of the crepes.
  • Granulated Sugar: I like this white sugar for my recipes, I recommend organic sugar for cooking and baking.
  • Plant-Based Butter – we like a substitute which has a great flavor and just a hint of salt.
  • sea salt
  • Plant-Based Milk of Choice – you can use any variety you like!  The higher the fat content, the creamier the milk will be.  I used unsweetened Almond Milk for my version of this recipe. You could also use coconut milk, oat milk, or soy milk.
  • Baking Powder: I like this low sodium baking powder which is great for keeping the sodium down in baked goods.

Sweet Crepe Filling Ideas

  • Chocolate Chips
  • Fresh fruit
  • Whipped cream
  • Powdered Sugar
  • Peanut butter
  • Sprinkles

Make Crepes Dairy Free for a Better Version

This dairy free homemade crepes are a fantastic take on the classic without all the dairy. I’m all about making recipes plant-based and dairy free when I can. Dairy-free cooking does NOT have to be bland, boring, or flavorless… It’s quite the opposite when done right. 

You can achieve total richness and creaminess with some simple swaps. By building meals around vegan pantry staples and swapping in a few plant-based ingredients you can make better meals for you and your family. 

You can make a fantastic breakfast with simple ingredients. Enjoy these as savory crepes, or as sweet crepes with fresh fruit or strawberry jam.

How Do I Make Crepes Without Butter or Milk?

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the wet ingredients eggs, sugar, and butter substitute – whisk well until ingredients have combined. Add the dry ingredients: salt, almond milk, flour, and baking powder and whisk until all lumps are gone from the batter and it is smooth.
  2. In a cast iron pan, non-stick pan, or hot griddle, turn up to medium heat. Pour a ladleful of the batter in the center of the pan, and turn the pan around so the batter makes a thin layer across the pan out to the edges. (Note: no need to grease the pan or use cooking spray) Cook for 1-2 minutes on the first side until bubbles start to form on the crepe and the edges begin to turn golden brown.
  3. Flip, and cook the second side for just 1 minute until browned.  Stack crepes on a plate, and repeat cooking until all the batter is gone.
  4. Add filling to the middle of the crepes, or pour maple syrup over the top and roll up and enjoy!  If you have extras, cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
