Crepes aren’t easy to find once you go vegan, but my recipe for gluten-free teff dinner crepes can put them right back into your life.

Please note that this post is sponsored by The Teff Company, the makers of Maskal Teff™ products. If you can’t find them in your local store you can order Maskal Teff™ products on Amazon.

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.

Is teff flour gluten-free?

Yes, teff flour is gluten-free, making it an excellent choice for celiacs. Plus, it’s also high in fiber and iron.

Is teff or quinoa better?

Teff and quinoa have similar carbohydrate and protein content. Also, I’m all for variety in meals, so I’d have them both in my diet.

Just to compare, quinoa contains more omega-2 fatty acids and less sugar than teff, while teff contains more vitamin K, calcium, and zinc.

This is teff flour. It’s common in gluten-free baking because it’s naturally gluten-free.

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.

  • Ground flaxseed
  • Water
  • Maskal Teff™ flour, ivory or brown
  • Olive oil — for light spraying on the pan; leave this out if you don’t use oil
  • Salt
  • 1 Recipe Creamy Greens

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.

        Well, my recipe program won’t let me add a link in the ingredients, but I have it in the blog text, the recipe intro text and right after the recipe. Hopefully that will make it easier to find!

    This looks delicious! I don’t have teff but have buckwheat flour, I’m wondering if it will work as well.

    Hi – just wondering if the oil could be left out of these? It it vital to the consistency? Could something else be substituted? Thank you.

      I haven’t tried it, but it should work without oil. Try subbing aquafaba.
