  3. Mix the flaxseed mixture, nondairy milk, oil and vanilla in a medium bowl.
  4. Mix the teff flour, tapioca starch, brown rice flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into a small bowl and stir well.
  5. Add the dry mixture to the wet and whisk until smooth.
  6. Spray some oil lightly on a medium saute pan and heat pan over medium heat.
  7. Once hot, measure out ¼ cup batter, remove skillet from heat, pour the batter in, swirling the the skillet to coat the bottom evenly.
  8. Cook first side for about 3 minutes. The edges will begin to pull away from the pan.
  9. Carefully flip the crepe using your hands or a spatula and cook another minute.
  10. Place on a plate and repeat until all the crepe batter has been used.
  11. Fill each crepe with the vanilla nut cream filling and roll up. Serve topped with powdered sugar, berries, or chocolate sauce.
