Ingredients and notes
- Flour. We use whole-wheat flour, but both all-purpose flour or gluten-free all-purpose flour work as well!
- Almond milk. Make sure to use one that is on the thicker side. This will make the batter rich and smooth!
How to make 3-ingredient crepes with almond milk
Step 1
Add eggs to a bowl and mix well. Add almond milk and mix once again.
Step 2
Then, sift the flour into the bowl, and using a whisk, mix until a smooth batter is formed.
Step 3
Heat some oil in a non-stick pan or a skillet. Once hot, pour the crepe batter and cook for 1 minute. Then flip, and cook for 30 more seconds, until golden.
Repeat with the rest of the batter until all pancakes are done! We like to serve them with fresh fruit and yogurt, but you can add anything you want. Some raspberry chia jam would be delicious here!
Expert Tips
- Keep the heat to medium-low. If your skillet is too hot the pancakes will start to burn, so make sure to keep it to low flame.
- Don't add too much batter at a time. My skillet is relatively small and I have found that just ¼ cup of batter is enough. If your skillet is bigger, you may need to use ⅓ - ½ cup, but don't go above this.
- Oil your skillet before every crepe. This is important so that your crepes don't stick or turn out dry. You don't have to go overboard though, just a little bit of oil is enough.
- To form a nice round crepe hold the skillet with one hand and pour the mix with the other. Once you've poured the batter start swirling it around immediately!
- Use a whisk to mix batter. This will ensure that your batter will be smooth and there won't ber any clumps.
FAQ
Yes, feel free to use any milk that you like here! We like to use soy milk, coconut milk, and even barista oat milk.
I know that there are a lot of opinions online about whether or not you should chill crepe batter, so I decided to test it.
From my tests, 30 minutes of resting did *almost* nothing to the batter, but I did see some changes when the batter rested overnight. The pancakes were softer because the flour had time to soak in with the milk.
So, if you can rest your batter overnight, go for it. If not, don't sweat it!
You can make the batter the day before (which we recommend), otherwise, they will keep well for 3-4 days if stored in the refrigerator!
Yes! If you want to make it easier for yourself, you can add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
Yes, these crepes will keep in the freezer for 1 month (and sometimes longer)!

Sydney says
Hey I was wondering could I make a vegan eggs?
Petranka says
Hi, Sydney! I haven't tried it so I can't say for sure, but you could try to use 2 flax eggs, and maybe add a bit more milk if needed since flax eggs are a bit thicker. Let me know how it goes!
Julia says
So good!
Sue says
Could you tell me if I would use equal amounts of almond flour to the wheat flour for substitute?
Petranka says
