Vegan Crepes with Homemade Chocolate Hazelnut Spread
Crepes have to be the absolute simplest thing to make. Once you’ve mastered the art of the flip, this will be your go-to recipe of the month. This recipe uses a heavenly blend of Purely Vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Spread and strawberries as its filling, but you can also fill the crepes with other sweet fruits, peanut butter, or savory onions, tomatoes, and garlic. Either way they’re a great light meal you can assemble with anything you have on hand. (Please note that Prep time does not include hands off refrigeration.)

Heat a large skillet over medium heat for approximately 1 minute before starting to cook. Lightly grease the skillet with vegan margarine. Swirl approximately 1⁄4 cup of batter into the pan so that all edges are covered. Turn heat to medium-high and cook for 1 minute. Use a spatula to flip. Cook the other side for 1 minute. Crepes will be finished when very lightly browned. Repeat with remaining batter.
