Crêpes Suzette Vegan

Crêpes Suzette Vegan is a delightful twist on the classic French dessert, featuring thin, delicate crêpes infused with a zesty orange sauce and a hint of Grand Marnier, all made plant-based. This elegant dish is perfect for a light lunch or a special brunch with a refreshing citrus flavor.

Ingredients

• all-purpose flour - 100 grams
• plant-based milk (almond or soy) - 250 ml
• coconut oil - 2 tablespoons
• maple syrup - 2 tablespoons
• vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• orange juice - 50 ml
• orange zest - 1 teaspoon
• agave syrup - 1 tablespoon
• Grand Marnier or orange liqueur (optional) - 1 tablespoon
• fresh mint leaves - for garnish

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add the plant-based milk while whisking until the batter is smooth.
2. Stir in the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
3. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with a little coconut oil.
4. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling it to create an even layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom is golden brown, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.
5. In a small saucepan, combine the orange juice, orange zest, agave syrup, and Grand Marnier (if using). Heat gently until warmed through and slightly thickened.
6. To serve, fold each crêpe into quarters, place on a plate, and drizzle the warm orange sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh mint leaves.
