These come together quickly right in your blender. You can get the Creamy Greens recipe here to use as a filling. You could also fill them up with your favorite stews or veggies. It elevates leftovers to a fancy meal.

What is teff flour?

Teff flour is a delectably light, distinctively flavored, and 100% whole grain flour. Ethiopian families have used it for centuries in baking, and I’m not surprised they’re using teff for a dish called Injera, a flat, crepe-like bread.

Ingredients for gluten-free teff crepes

I’ll give you a quick list here, but you can scroll down to the bottom to get the exact amounts and a printable recipe.

How to make vegan gluten-free teff crepes

Add all the ingredients to your blender and blend well. Let the mixture sit for at least 10 minutes until the bubbles on top go away. (This is a great time to prepare the filling.)

Either spray some oil lightly on an 8-inch saute pan or lightly brush oil before you heat it over medium heat. Once hot, measure out ¼ cup batter, remove the skillet and pour batter moving the skillet to coat the bottom evenly.

Cook the first side for about 3 minutes. The edges will begin to pull away from the pan. Then, carefully flip the crepe using your hands or a spatula and cook another minute.

Place on a plate and repeat until all the crepe batter has been used. Fill each crepe with the creamy vegan greens filling, then roll up. Serve with a little of the greens on top for decoration and enjoy!

Vegan and Gluten-free Teff Dinner Crepes with Creamy Greens

Kathy Hester

I always feel like a real grownup when I have crepes. I think it’s because the only crepe restaurant I’ve been to was expensive and a dress up affair. Funny thing is that crepes are easy to make, and you don’t need any fancy ingredients at all. If you haven’t made crepes before, you might want to make a double batch of batter so you have 6 extra chances to practice. Click here to get to the Creamy Greens Filling recipe.
