Crepes for Breakfast, Brunch or Dessert!

If you think crepes are difficult to make, think again! In fact, they’re actually way easier than you’d expect, especially if you have a good crepe pan or nonstick pan that makes things way easier!

I love crepes because you can eat them anytime of the day – whether for breakfast with fruit, or brunch with savory fillings, or even dessert with nutella and heavy cream!

I made buckwheat crepes a while back and we absolutely loved them, so this time, we’re making millet crepes!

What is Millet?

Millet is a small seed that is mainly grown for making millet flour, which can be used in baked goods and breads.

With a slightly nuttier flavor than other seeds, millet is great for adding depth of flavor to your meals.

Is Millet Gluten-Free?

Naturally gluten-free, millet is perfect for including in gluten-free diets, and millet flour is great for gluten-free baking.

This means that those with Celiac disease and gluten-intolerance can enjoy millet without issues!

Make Your Own Millet Flour at Home

Grinding millet flour at home is actually super easy. All you need to make this whole grain flour is some millet seeds, a high-speed blender, and a fine-mesh sieve.

Check out my tutorial for how to make homemade millet flour in just a few minutes!

Why This Recipe Works:

  • Super Easy To Make: These millet crepes are unbelievably easy to make. Simply blend the ingredients together with a quick blitz of the blender, let the batter rest, and then cook!
  • Flexible: Since these crepes are relatively neutral in flavor by themselves, you can eat them with either sweet or savory fillings. You can also either add a tablespoon of sugar to make them sweeter, or a pinch of salt and even a little bit of herbs such as garlic powder if you want to make them savory.
  • The Crepes Keep Easily: You can make a big batch of these millet crepes (you’ll need a little patience but it’s so worth it) and store them in the refrigerator or in the freezer so you can enjoy crepes on weekday mornings too! Who says crepes are only for the weekend or special occasions?
  • Totally Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free: Unlike traditional crepes, these easy millet crepe recipe is 100% gluten-free and dairy-free. This means that even those with Celiac disease or gluten and lactose intolerances can eat this healthy whole-grain recipe worries!

Ingredient Notes/Substitutions:

  • Millet Flour: Since these are millet crepes, millet flour is the star ingredients. You can either buy it online, or make your own millet flour (super easy)!
  • Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour: I highly recommend using a good quality gluten-free all-purpose flour that is made up of a blend of lighter flours/starches (such as rice flour, tapioca starch, corn starch, or potato starch) to get a fluffier final texture. I do NOT recommend using a gluten-free flour blend with heavier flours (such as garbanzo bean flour) as that will result in a denser final texture.
  • Eggs: Eggs are important in this millet crepe recipe as they help to bind and create lift for the batter. I personally haven’t made this recipe without eggs, but if you are allergic to eggs, you can try using aquafaba or an egg-replacer.
  • Water: I use water as a liquid for the batter, but you may also use non-dairy milk such as almond milk or cashew milk if you prefer. Alternatively, if you are not lactose-intolerant, feel free to use normal milk instead.
  • Oil: I like using sunflower oil because I always have a bottle of it on hand. However, you may also use melted vegan butter, olive oil or coconut oil if you prefer. Alternatively, if you are not lactose-intolerant, feel free to use melted butter or ghee instead.

How to Make Millet Crepes (Step by Step):

1. Blend Ingredients to Form Batter:

Combine millet flour, gluten-free all-purpose flour, eggs and water in a high-speed blender and blend for a minute until combined and you have a homogeneous and thin batter.

2. Chill Batter

Transfer the millet crepe batter to a medium bowl, cover with plastic wrap and then chill the smooth batter for at least 30 minutes.

3. Heat and Grease Pan with Oil

Heat a crepe pan or medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Brush the pan with oil and when it is hot, remove it from the heat.

4. Ladle Batter into Pan

Ladle a spoonful of millet crepe batter (approximately 1/3 cup of batter) into the pan and swirl the pan in a circular motion to distribute the batter evenly then return to heat.

5. Cook the Batter

Cook the batter for approximately 1 to 2 minutes until you can easily loosen the edges with a spatula and the bottom surface of the crepe is no longer wet.

6. Flip Crepe Over

Flip the thin crepe to the other side and cook for another 30 seconds.

7. Set Cooked Crepes Aside

8. Serve and Enjoy

Dish by Dish Tips/Tricks:

  • Chill The Batter: Make sure to chill the batter for at least 30 minutes as that will ensure that the crepes are flexible and do not break easily once cooked.
  • Use a Nonstick Pan: I highly recommend using a non-stick pan or crepe pan to cook the crepes as that will prevent the crepes from sticking to the pan, and will make it easier to flip the crepes over.
  • Make Sweet Crepes: For sweeter crepes, simply add 1 tablespoon of sugar to the batter. Feel free to add in a pinch of cocoa powder or cinnamon powder for extra flavor too.
  • Make Savory Crepes: If you prefer savory crepes, simply add 1 teaspoon of salt and condiments of your choice (such as garlic powder, onion powder, ground paprika, etc).

Recipe FAQs:

How Do You Store these Crepes?

To store, place the crepes in an airtight container or ziplock bag, and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Can You Freeze These Crepes?

Yes, you can! To freeze, place the crepes in a freezer-safe container or ziplock bag (separated by plastic sheets or parchment paper) and freeze for up to 2 months. You can reheat the crepes in the microwave or in a pan before eating.

Is Millet Gluten-Free?

Yes, millet is naturally gluten-free, which makes it perfect for including in gluten-free diets, and those with Celiac disease and gluten-intolerance can enjoy millet without issues!
