Oat & Spelt Crepes (Dairy Free)
There is no denying that breakfast is my favourite meal of the day. It’s the first thing I think about when I wake up (sad, I know!) and then I go to bed thinking about what I might have for breakfast the next morning.
However, it hasn’t always been that way. I remember skipping breakfast in my teenage years and throughout high-school. All I would have was a cup of black tea with milk. I hated school so much that it made me lose my appetite haha! Looking back now I realise how bad that was considering I was still growing and developing.
Fast forward to today – now I just can’t relate to people who skip breakfast and say ‘I just don’t feel hungry in the morning’. I wake up starving! I have to have something, even if it’s just a banana and a handful of nuts otherwise I feel like I don’t have the energy to do anything!
A few weeks ago when I posted my gluten free oat waffles I mentioned how I prefer waffles to pancakes. This is also true when it comes to crepes! I like that they’re so much lighter and more delicate compared to pancakes, especially the thick, American pancakes. I actually think crepes are very similar to English pancakes. There is no pancake that can beat the English version with sugar and lemon…mmm!
These oat & spelt crepes are very basic and easy to make. They’re much higher in fibre compared to traditional crepe recipes and I’ve also made the recipe dairy free.
If you can’t get hold of oat flour (I’ve never seen it sold in the UK), you can make your own by blending plain oats in a powerful blender or food processor. The more powerful your blender the finer the flour will be and you want it fine to achieve a smooth, bit free batter.

This looks absolutely amazing Nadia, your pictures are proper art! I’ve never made pancakes/crepes with no eggs. Does it crumble or fall apart quite easily?
Thank you Petra 🙂 I have made crepes with egg before and I thought it tasted too ‘eggy’. It tastes much nicer without! They hold together as long as you don’t make them too big 🙂
Crepes are also my favorite out of waffles & pancakes! But I’ve never had English pancakes, do you have a recipe for them?
Not on the blog, but they are very similar to crepes 🙂
They are some beautiful looking crepes Nadia.
I don’t understand people that skip breakfast either, as I always wake up so hungry. I wouldn’t be able to function if I didn’t eat breakfast.
Thank you Dannii 🙂 I know! Breakfast dishes are always more fun too 🙂
Oh! These vegan oat crepes look incredible, Nadia. I want to try these soon…..yum! No egg is a genius idea. SO so good.:D
Thank you Anu 🙂

Thank you Michele 😀 they taste even better! 🙂
This looks amazing Nadia! I love crepes with apple sauce and cinnamon, or turkey and cheese haha Thank you for linking to my banana split crepes! x
Thank you Diana 🙂 Crepes with apple sauce and cinnamon sounds lovely 🙂
Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day too and would love to wake up to these delicious crepes! They look gorgeous! Love the oat and spelt flour in here!
It has been AGES since I last had a crepe. These look simply glorious and hard to resist with all those quality ingredients. Excellent!
They look perfection, Nadia! <3 I love making oat crepes, never had them with spelt.
I never make totally authentic crepes, but super thin pancakes have happened 😉 I’ll need to roll them up and stuff them next time!
