Lucia’s Savory Garbanzo Crepes
This recipe may look daunting, but it really isn’t that complex, and it is a huge crowd pleaser! I have yet to find someone that doesn’t like it! Read the whole recipe before you start. When preparing this meal, I start with preparing the soy curl filling. Then I make the crepe batter. While the crepes are cooking (they take a while to cook thoroughly) I have time to put the cheesy sauce topping together.
Assembly Instructions:
Put filling on one half of a crepe and drizzle a little cheese over it before folding. Then fold crepe in half and drizzle with the cheese. Serve immediately. You can also make 6″ crepes, put one on a plate, place filling on top, drizzle some cheese sauce and then place a second crepe on top, then drizzle the sauce over the top.
Makes two 8” crepes.

Lucia’s Savory Garbanzo Crepe Batter
This high protein mix makes an amazingly filling crepe-style batter.
Servings 2
Calories 144kcal
Equipment
- 7" non-stick frying pan
- Blender
Ingredients
- ¾ c water
- ⅓ c garbanzo flour
- 1 ½ tsp. ground flaxseed
- 1 ½ tsp. potato starch not flour OR tapioca starch
- 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
- 1 Tbs. nutritional yeast flakes
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. granulated onion
- ½ tsp. granulated garlic
- ½ tsp. non-aluminum baking powder Rumford or Featherweight
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in blender and blend them on high to mix thoroughly. Makes a batter thin enough run in pan.
- Pour ½ the batter into a high quality, medium hot, non-stick 8” pan and tilt and rotate pan to quickly spread batter in a very thin layer on bottom of pan.
- Cook on med. heat until set, lightly browned on bottom, and hard enough to flip without tearing. Usually takes between 5-8 minutes. You want it cooked thoroughly all the way through and not gummy at all. It helps to loosen the edges with edge of very thin spatula before flipping. (If you have trouble with it sticking, you can use ½ tsp of coconut oil in pan just before pouring the crepe.)
- Let 2nd side brown (1-2 min.) and place on plate.
