Easy and Delicious Pumpkin Vegan Crepes

with Spiced Pumpkin Butter

It’s Pumpkin Spice Season, and it’s such an American thing! From Vegan pumpkin pancakes, vegan pumpkin crepes, to vegan pumpkin coffee drinks America has it down pat. Not so much in the Netherlands. No pumpkin bagels, or anything vegan pumpkin for that matter. Brace yourself, I haven’t even found canned pumpkin. To be honest, I have never been a pumpkin latte kind of person, but I have been craving a little bit of what I have experienced back home, so I set out to give it a go and get that fall feeling, veganized and across the Atlantic.

This Vegan Pumpkin Spiced Crepe Recipe is divided into three recipes. You can use homemade or canned spiced pumpkin butter. I use to love the Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Butter and a vegan can of whipped cream. Since enrolling in culinary school, my kitchen equipment has elevated way beyond my simple kitchen (it’s still wildly modest, haha), so I happen to have a whipped cream maker. I think it’s a solid investment if you want to control what’s in your whipped toppings (ahem, sugar). But this is a treat and I totally understand indulging and skipping the “healthier” options.

How To Make Vegan Pumpkin Crepes

I wrote a note about using fresh pumpkin and if you want to make your own cream in the recipe, both are pretty simple, so don’t worry if you can only find fresh pumpkin (preferably sugar pumpkin). You basically add all the dry ingredients to one bowl, and all the wet to another. If you bake your pumpkin like I did, the photo above shows how much I stashed it before adding it to the wet ingredients (center photo).

The easily way I have found to pour crepes, has been with a ladle. I am pretty messy, so this has been the cleanest and most effective process I have tried. The little wood tool has also been a game changer as far as getting the perfect crepe thickness.

How To AssemblE Vegan

Pumpkin Crepes

This part is quick! Once the crepes are complete all you need to do is add the pumpkin butter and whip. There is no sugar added to the crepe, so this is where you can decide how much or how little sweetness you want to add. First spread the pumpkin butter to cover the surface of the crepe and then add the cream to the center of your crepe and fold in half, and then in half again. I like when the cream pours our a bit. I like to top with a bit of pumpkin butter. You can also add whip on top if your are feeling festive!

Vegan Pumpkin Spiced Crepes

Makes 6 medium vegan pumpkin crepes

30 minute assembly, 45 minutes total

ingredients:

1 cup white flour

14 oz coconut milk (canned)

1 /2 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)

5 cloves, ground

1 tbsp cinnamon

1 tbsp ginger

1 pinch nutmeg

1 cup of water

1 cup pumpkin butter (canned or fresh)

whipped topping

extra pinched spices for garnish

instructions:

make the vegan crepes:

mix together all wet ingredients in one bowl, only using 1/2 the water. do not add the whipped topping to the wet mixture.

in another bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients.

*if using fresh pumpkin: you can easily use fresh pumpkin but cubing and baking it for about an hour until about to caramelize. make sure to smash with a fork (pictured above) before adding to wet mixture.

if too think, add more water until you get a “watery” pancake consistency.

i use a ladle and a crepe tool (pictured above) to get the right thickness. both are pretty affordable and worth having if you plan to make crepes a lot.

add a touch of oil to a fry pan and warm on medium heat (i like coconut oil). one ladle is the perfect amount for a 12” crepe. ladle your batter into the fry pan and use your crepe tool to smoothest. once edges begin to brown, flip crepe. usually 3-4 minutes per side. you can stake crepes on a plate off to the side.

assemble vegan crepes:

first, take a crepe off the pile and give it it’s own plate.

use the back of a spoon to spread pumpkin butter around the entire surface of the crepe. put a dollop of whipped creme (I used coconut milk and fresh vanilla in my whipped creme maker)

then fold in half, then half again, to make a triangle. layer a bit on top of one another and top with a little more pumpkin butter and a pinch if spices. .

makes 6 crepes

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT LANA

A little background was something I figured you all would want before I advise you on “good food”! I have been vegetarian for 35 years, and vegan for nearly 8 of them. I am a 100% non-waivering vegan. I don’t do cheats, I don't turn my head, and I am wildly upset when I find out something isn’t vegan that I was brought to believe was. I am committed to the point this is almost religious for me. I recently got my diploma in vegan nutrition and am working on becoming a vegan chef.

Need help transitioning to becoming vegan, making meal plans, or need a vegan kitchen reset? I offer a free 30 minute consultation.
