I love a good stack of gluten free pancakes, but sometimes I’m craving something a little more fancy and sweet. Crepes are such a fun way to spice up your breakfast game! This gluten-free crepe recipe is so easy, with just a few simple ingredients and some Chelsea Approved Pancake Mix. Fill the crepes with your favorite fruits, drizzle with some vegan chocolate, and enjoy! These are the easiest and best vegan crepes you’ve ever made! Not only are they vegan & gluten-free, the dry ingredients are all simple with no nuts, peanuts, soy, or corn, and you don’t need dairy or eggs to make them delicious!
Crepes are a great way to enjoy breakfast when you are feeling fancy on the weekends, but don’t want to wait for an hour for baked oatmeal! With this recipe, getting from an empty bowl to having the batter in the pan takes less than 5 minutes. All you have to do is grab your Chelsea Approved Pancake Mix, add some water, oil, and vanilla, and voila! The perfect vegan and gluten-free crepe batter. It’s so easy to cook on a non-stick pan, and you can make as many as you want.
Making vegan crepes is a great way to go through some of the fruit you have lying around too! Strawberries, blueberries, bananas, apples, raspberries, mangos, kiwis… pretty much everything goes great in a sweet crepe! Pick your favorite spreadable topping like jam or a nut/seed butter, add the fruit, and roll! It’s as easy as that to get these crepes assembled and delicious.

Ingredients
- 2/3 cup of Chelsea Approved Pancake Mix
- 2/3 cup water
- 2 TBSP neutral cooking oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup of chopped fruit (see notes)
- 1/2 cup of a Spread (see notes)
- Optional: 1/3 cup melted chocolate or maple syrup to drizzle on the top (see notes)
Directions
- Combine ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
- Heat a pan or griddle to medium heat.
- Spray or coat lightly with oil. Using a 1/3 measuring cup, pour batter into pan, and quickly swirl the batter around until it forms a thin layer. Cook until small bubbles form and the bottom starts to brown.
- Flip the crepe, and cook until done. Once it's done cooking, transfer the crepe to a cooling rack.
- Repeat until all the batter is gone.
- Prepare the 1 cup of fruit by chopping up your choice of 1 or more fruits (I used chopped apples and bananas).
- Prepare all of the toppings, such as melted vegan chocolate to drizzle on after the crepes are assembled.
- Assemble the crepes by spreading your choice spread (jam, nut/seed butter, or maple syrup) across the crepe.Sprinkling on some of the chopped fruit, and roll the crepe.
- After all the crepes are rolled, top with a chocolate drizzle, powdered sugar, or maple syrup! (I drizzled with melted vegan chocolate and powdered sugar).
- Enjoy!

Wet Ingredients: Water, Vegetable Oil, Vanilla Extract
Notes and Baking Tips:
1. Neutral Cooking Oil: You can use any high heat oil, but we recommend Canola Oil, Vegetable Oil, or Avocado oil. If you are going to use Coconut Oil, melt it in the microwave and then let it cool for a couple of minutes.
2. Chopped Fruit: You can use any combination of fruits that you want! I used apples and bananas, but you can use strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, mangos, kiwis… whatever you are in the mood for!
3. Spread: The “spread” is what you put on the crepe first before adding the fruit, and it helps add flavor and stickiness! You can use peanut butter or your choice of nut/seed butters, jam, maple syrup, melted chocolate, or anything else that comes to mind!
4. Drizzle for top: Make these crepes extra delicious with a little extra drizzle on top! To melt some gluten-free and vegan chocolate in the microwave, just add some chocolate to a microwave-safe dish and microwave for 20 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until it melts and is smooth. Our favorite allergen-free chocolate chips are Enjoy Life and Pascha semi-sweet. You can also add a drizzle of maple syrup or sprinkle with powdered sugar!
