Eid Breakfast Crepes
Jump To Recipe
I called them Eid crepes, because it’s the end of Ramadan, and who doesn’t want to make a special breakfast the morning of Eid? But they have nothing to do with Eid. This means you can make them anytime you like! Also, you can prepare everything the night before, store it in the fridge, and just fry (or air-fry) in the morning.
Also since the sugar in the crepes is very little, you can easily make them with a savory filling – like simply with cheese!
If you’ve made my Vegan Cashew Pudding Besboosa recipe you will recognize the cashew pudding I’ve used as the filling. It’s so yummy and works perfectly.
Now a few notes about the ingredients I’ve used to make the crepes:
They are not vegan since they contain eggs. But they are gluten-free and dairy-free.
I used a mixture of buckwheat and sweet rice flour. You can use the flour you like, but I’ve only tried using millet to replace the buckwheat and I needed to add more flour to get the batter to be at the proper consistency. So keep that in mind. If you will use a different flour, I would not add all the milk at once. Add 3/4 cup and then check if it’s too thick add the rest. You want the batter to be thin so that it easily spreads thin in the frying pan, but not so thin that you get holes.
As for the milk, I used oat. You can probably use any milk you prefer, keeping in mind the change in flavor.
Let me know what you think if you try the recipe. I loved serving it with berry compote. You can also serve it with any fresh fruit or a sprinkle of nuts. Enjoy!
Eid Breakfast Crepes
Ingredients:
Cashew Pudding
- 1/3 cup (60g) raw cashews, soaked for 3 hours
- 2/3 cup coconut milk (full-fat, canned)
- 1/4 to 1/3 cup (65-95g) cane or coconut sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon orange zest (optional)
- 1 teaspoon orange blossom water (optional)
Crepes
- 1 cup non-dairy milk (almond or oat)
- 4 eggs
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup (105g) buckwheat flour
- 1/4 cup (35g) sweet rice flour
- 1 tablespoon melted butter or coconut oil
For frying and serving
- Butter, ghee or avocado oil or cooking spray
- Berry compote or fruit jam
- Honey or maple syrup
- Desiccated coconut
Instructions:
- First, make the pudding: drain the soaked cashews and place in the blender with 1/2 a cup of the coconut milk, and sugar. Blend until smooth. Transfer to a small saucepan, add the orange zest, and warm up over medium heat, stirring occasionally. In the meantime, mix the remaining coconut milk with the cornstarch until smooth. Once the cashew mixture starts to bubble, quickly add the cornstarch slurry and whisk constantly until the cream is thick like pudding. Remove from the heat and mix in the vanilla and orange blossom water. Set aside while you make the crepes. It will thicken as it cools. Even better make it in advance and store it the fridge.
- To make the crepes: place all the crepe ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Warm-up a medium frying pan (preferably non-stick) over medium for a few minutes, you can test if it’s hot by adding a teaspoon of batter in the middle, and if it turns brown in 20 seconds then it’s hot. Remove the pan from the heat, spray with oil (or brush with a little oil) and add about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of batter and swirl the pan, turning it with your wrist, so that it spreads evenly all the way to the sides. Return the pan to the heat, wait for about 1 minute until it turns golden then carefully remove and place on a plate browned side down. Repeat with the remaining batter (or cover and store in the fridge and use within 3 days)
- To assemble the crepes: add 1-2 tablespoons of pudding a little to the side of the crepe circle, then fold the crepe over to cover the pudding, folding in the sides, then roll over so the seam side is down. Continue with the remaining crepes. At this point, you can move on to the next step, or cover and store in the fridge until you are ready to fry them.
- To finish the crepes: Heat a little oil in a frying pan, about a teaspoon for 3-4 crepes. Then fry the crepes for about a minute or two on each side until nicely browned. You can also air-fry them by spraying with a little oil first. It takes a little longer and won’t be as brown, but they get more crispy. Serve with a sprinkle of desiccated coconut and some fresh fruit or berry compote.
