Vegan pancakes

What do you think of when you hear the word pancake? Is it a big stack of fluffy american style pancakes dripping with butter or syrup? Or perhaps you prefer the chocolate-y kind topped with fresh berries and hot fudge sauce? As much as I love sweet pancakes for breakfast, brunch or pudding, sometimes I wants something savoury and these vegan savoury crêpes hit the spot. Have you ever had a two course pancake meal? How about a cheese-y crêpe for your main and a huge stack of blueberry pancakes for pudding? Sounds great right! So lets get to making the crepes.

Chickpea crêpes

The trick to making vegan savoury pancakes is chickpea flour (also known as gram flour). It smells a little strange when it has not been cooked but when whisked up with water, nutritional yeast, onion powder, garlic powder and salt it transforms into a tasty batter that makes light and fluffy crêpes. To take it up a notch, I also add my favourite vegan cheese (Applewood). It melts right into the batter! This pancake batter is the perfect base for any combination of savoury toppings you want to add: vegan bacon, garlic mushrooms, wilted spinach, grilled tomatoes, maybe even more cheese?!

Quick to make, nutritious and delicious; these vegan savoury crepes are perfect for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
