Savory mushroom crepes (thin pancakes) filled with portobello mushrooms and cashew cream. This fantastic breakfast, lunch, or even dinner recipe is vegan and tastes amazing.
Crepes are just another version of pancakes. The batter of the crepes is thinner, and you can make them sweet or savory, and with any toppings of your choice.
I've always been a crepe lover, but I've eaten it almost always sweet, filled with Nutella. However, this mushroom crepes are one of my favorite savory crepes.

How to make mushroom crepes?
Start by making the crepe batter. Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, oat milk, and sunflower oil. Whisk until no lumps remain. Then cover and set aside the batter and start making the filling.
You can use other cooking oil. However, it should be neutral in taste. Don't use an oil like coconut oil.
To make the filling place soaked cashews, water, garlic, and salt, in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and add more salt if needed.
Preheat frying pan and saute sliced mushrooms with some oil and salt. When mushrooms are soft, add the cashew cream to the pan, a handful of chopped parsley, and cook for a few minutes. Stir to combine. Set aside.
Now cook the crepes over medium heat in a non-stick pan. Grease with a little oil. Pour ⅛th of batter into the pan. Distribute it quickly across the surface. Cook the first side until the surface of the crepe is golden and dry underneath, and then flip it and cook for one minute. Repeat the process until you used all the batter.
Place 2 tbsp of mushroom-cashew filling into the center of each crepe, wrap and top with pine nuts and some chopped parsley. Serve and enjoy.
