Crepes are a wonderful dish to serve for either dessert or for a special brunch! They can be made with almost any fruit-raspberries, blackberries, blueberries or strawberries are all delicious! Nutella, a rich spread made with roasted hazelnuts and dark chocolate, adds a decadent and chocolatey note. These vegan Nutella and Berry Crepes are super easy top make and rival any crepes made with eggs and dairy products.
The nutella can be made with roasted or raw hazelnuts, but will purée more easily if they are roasted. If you need more liquid to help the hazelnut butter to form, just drizzle in a little extra hazelnut oil.

If you prefer savory crepes, try filling these with sautéed mushrooms and spinach!
