Soft oat crêpes filled with warm cinnamon apples and finished with a creamy tahini maple drizzle. A simple, nourishing plant-based breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Oat Crêpe Batter

1 cup rolled oats
1½ cups plant milk
1 tbsp ground flaxseed
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Optional: ½ tsp baking powder
Neutral oil or vegan butter for cooking

Filling

Sautéed apples (pre-prepared)
Optional: raisins
Optional: toasted walnuts or pecans

Tahini Maple Drizzle

1 tbsp tahini
1–2 tsp maple syrup or agave
Splash of warm water to thin

Method

Blend the Batter

Add rolled oats, plant milk, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, vanilla extract and salt to a blender.
Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and pourable.
Allow the batter to rest for about 5 minutes so it slightly thickens.
If the batter becomes too thick, add a small splash of milk or water.

Cook the Crêpes

Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and lightly grease with oil or vegan butter.
Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the centre of the pan and swirl the pan gently to spread the batter into a thin layer.
Cook for 2–3 minutes until the edges lift slightly and the bottom turns golden.
Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 1–2 minutes.
Repeat with the remaining batter.

Prepare the Tahini Drizzle

In a small bowl mix the tahini and maple syrup.
Add small amounts of warm water while stirring until the sauce becomes smooth and pourable.

Assemble the Crêpes

Place warm sautéed apples on one half of each crêpe.
Drizzle with tahini maple sauce and sprinkle with optional raisins or toasted nuts if desired.
Fold or roll the crêpe and serve warm with an extra dusting of cinnamon.

Recipe Note

Blending oats creates a quick homemade oat flour batter.

Letting the batter rest helps the flaxseed hydrate and improves flexibility.
Keep crêpes thin for the most authentic texture.
If the batter thickens while resting, simply add a splash of plant milk.
These crêpes work with many fillings such as berries, banana or almond butter.

Storage

Crêpes can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Stack them with baking paper between each crêpe to prevent sticking.
Reheat in a pan or warm oven.
They also freeze well for up to 2 months.
