I had this idea for orange crepes but thought some vegan chocolate crepes are a little nicer to have year round – I can definitely see myself making these in the spring and summer filled with berries and cream, or as a crepe cake. This is adapted from my vegan crepes recipe but simplified down to five main ingredients (plus vanilla + salt), with the arrowroot starch left out.
They end up a touch thicker than normal crepes, more like a cross between German pancakes and crepes, but that means they’re easier to flip and you likely have the ingredients already.
If you’re not sure you can make crepes try this to start as they’re very forgiving and the small size makes things easier; the only trick is to watch for cooking because they don’t show really browning due to the cocoa. They’re soft and pliable even without eggs or a starch to hold things together.
