In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
Gradually whisk in the almond milk, water, vegetable oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Cover the bowl and let the batter rest for at least 10 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.
While the batter is resting, prepare the chocolate drizzle. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil.
Once the coconut oil is melted, whisk in the cocoa powder and agave syrup until a smooth, glossy sauce forms. Set aside to cool slightly.
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly coat with oil or cooking spray if necessary.
Pour about 1/4 cup of the crepe batter into the pan, tilting it in a circular motion until the bottom is evenly coated.
Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned and the center is set.
Gently flip the crepe using a thin spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and cover with a clean cloth to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
To serve, fold the crepes into quarters and drizzle with the prepared chocolate sauce. Optionally, garnish with fresh fruit or nuts.
