Homemade Dairy-Free Crepes Ingredients 

To make the best crêpes, you will need the following ingredients. 

• Eggs: Eggs provide structure and richness to the crepe batter.
• Oat milk: Oat milk adds creaminess to the batter, providing a dairy-free alternative to traditional milk. You can substitute for almond milk, soy milk or any other dairy-free milk 
• Rolled oats: Rolled oats contribute texture and heartiness to the crepes, making them more filling and nutritious. Use organic ones to make sure they are not sprayed with glyphsoate.
• Whole wheat flour: Whole wheat flour adds fiber and a nutty flavor to the crepes, while still keeping them light and delicious. You can also use all purpose flour.
• Pinch of salt (omit for babies): Salt enhances the flavor of the crepes, but can be omitted for those with dietary restrictions or preferences.

How To Make Crepes With No Milk 

To make these non-dairy milk crepes, just follow these simple steps: 

1. Put all the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients in a blender.
2. Mix until you get a smooth batter that is of pourable consistency.
3. Put a pan over medium-high heat until it warms up, then reduce heat to medium heat and add just enough coconut oil to grease the surface of the pan.
4. Use a ladle to pour the batter into the center of the pan. Now tilt the pan to make sure that the whole surface of the pan is covered with a thin layer of batter.
5. Cook for 1-2 minutes on one side then flip and cook for another minute.
6. Repeat with the rest of the batter.
7. Serve with some jam (e.g. strawberry jam), nut butters, fresh fruit or heavy cream.
