Ingredients for the pumpkin crêpes
Makes 6 to 8 crêpes, 20 cm each
- 100 g Ruut cassava flour
- 1 tsp ground psyllium husk
- 2 eggs (or egg replacer for 2 eggs according to the package instructions)
- 230 ml almond or oat milk alternative
- 125 g homemade pumpkin purée (see recipe below)
- a little butter (or vegan margarine) for the pan
For savoury crêpes
- 1 tsp salt
For sweet crêpes
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice or just cinnamon
Pumpkin purée
- Cut approx. 150 g Hokkaido pumpkin into small pieces and place in a pot. Cover the pumpkin pieces with water and simmer for approx. 20 minutes until they are very soft.
- Then drain off the water and purée the pumpkin. You should have approx. 125 g of purée, but weigh it again just to be sure!

How to make the pumpkin crêpes
Tip :) Always use a kitchen scale for our recipes and for weighing the flour.
- Whisk all the dry ingredients (except the egg replacer) together in a bowl.
- Add the eggs (or the egg replacer, mixed according to the package instructions) and the pumpkin purée and mix well.
- Now add the milk alternative while stirring and keep stirring until there are no more lumps in the batter. The batter should be nice and runny. (Add more liquid if necessary.)
- Now let the batter swell and rest briefly. Then stir well again. Heat the crêpe pan and spread a little butter (or margarine) (not much!) in the pan with a pastry brush. Pour the batter into the pan with a ladle and spread it out immediately. Turn the crêpes over as soon as bubbles form on the surface and the batter starts to set.
For the savoury version
- Sprinkle the crêpes with cheese while they are still in the pan and fold them over. Fresh tomatoes go really well with them.
Sweet version
- To serve, simply spread with cream cheese, apple sauce, jam or honey as you like.
- If you buy ready-made pumpkin purée, you may well need to add less liquid, as the purée is already very runny. In that case, start with approx. 150 ml of liquid and add more if needed.
