French Crepes are a popular breakfast and brunch dish in France and around the world. Traditionally made with eggs, milk, and butter, crepes may seem like a challenging recipe to veganize. However, with the right ingredients and techniques, you can achieve the same texture and flavor without any animal products. These Vegan French Crepes use a blend of cashew nuts, oats, and tofu to replace the eggs and milk. The result is a thin and delicate crepe that is perfect for stuffing, rolling, or folding with your favorite fillings. Whether you prefer sweet or savory, these crepes can be customized to your liking.

Instructions

1.	Soak the cashew nuts in 1 1/2 cups of water for at least 30 minutes and rinse.
2.	In a blender, blend the cashew nuts with the soaking water or soymilk, oats, whole wheat flour, apple juice concentrate, and salt until smooth. Add more water or soymilk if necessary to reach a thin and smooth batter consistency.
3.	Transfer the batter to a bowl.
4.	Add the tofu if using and stir well.
5.	Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and grease it with cooking spray or coconut oil.
6.	Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet and swirl the skillet to spread the batter into a thin layer.
7.	Cook the crepe for 2 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. Flip the crepe and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
8.	Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the cooked crepes on top of each other.
9.	Serve the crepes warm with your favorite toppings such as fruit, maple syrup, nut butter, or vegan whipped cream.
