Table of contents

I am what you could call a crepe snob. I am French, from the country of crepes, and I have been making them all my life. From working in a crepe restaurant to the traditional weekly crepe party, I’m a classic crepe expert.

When I started eating a low-carb diet, I need to find a way to make a keto-friendly version of my classic crepe recipe. The three main ingredients in traditional crepes – milk, flour, sugar – are high in carbs and spike your blood sugar level very quickly, so I needed something else.

Keto Crepes are thin, flexible pancakes usually filled with sweet keto crepe filling like chia seed jam or almond butter.

They mimic the texture of classic French crepes without using high-carb flours or sweeteners.

How To Make Keto Crepes

Keto crepes are easy to make at home using a few basic ingredients. All you need is a high-speed blender or food processor to blend the ingredients.

Ingredients

  • Ultra-Fine Almond Flour – the best almond flour to make crepes is blanched almond flour. In comparison to almond meal, ultra-fine almond flour is golden in color and made from skinless almonds. Its texture is finer, not gritty, and makes delicious keto baked goods without the grainy texture. Read more about choosing the right keto flour.
  • Cream Cheese – cream cheese is essential for a soft and airy texture.
  • Erythritol or a few stevia drops for sweetness. Skip for savory keto crepes.
  • Vanilla Extract – for taste. Skip if you’re making savory crepes.
  • Unsweetened Almond Milk – This makes the keto crepes very foldable but crispy on the edges.

Blending

First, add all the ingredients into the jug of a high-speed blender and blend at high speed until it forms a smooth crepe batter.

Then, transfer the batter into a large mixing bowl and rest the batter for 5 minutes before cooking.

Step-by-step instructions to make keto crepes

Cooking The Crepes

Finally, heat a 10 inches non-stick crepe pan or skillet over medium heat. Use a piece of absorbent paper to rub the crepe pan with butter or coconut oil.

Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the pan. If you are new at making crepes, it’s better to pour the batter on the side of the pan, not the center.

Then, tilt the pan and rotate in a circular motion to spread the batter as thin as possible all other the pan. You might have to add a little more batter if you didn’t tilt the pan fast enough, to fill all the pan surface.

Cook the crepe for 2 minutes on one side or until the edges start to dry out and their color is golden brown.

Flipping The Crepes

Most classic crepes recipes use a long spatula to slide under the crepes to flip them over. But, for keto crepes, do not use a spatula to avoid breaking the crepe in the center.

Instead, loosen the crispy dry sides of the crepes with a spatula, and then use your fingers to peel off the crepe and flip.

Keep cooking your keto crepe for 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden.

Place the cooked keto crepe on a plate covered with parchment paper and cover the plate with a piece of foil to keep the crepe warm.

Meanwhile, keep cooking the leftover batter, making sure your grease the pan between each keto crepe batter addition.

Keto Crepe Toppings

Crepes are always filled with some delicious toppings, sweet or savory, depending on what you crave. Below I listed the best keto filling for sweet or savory crepes.

Sweet Topping

Savory keto crepes toppings ideas

For savory crepes, first, bring back the cooked crepe in the crepe pan and top half of the crepe with any shredded cheese or soft cheese you love like:

  • Cheddar
  • Emmental for a French crepes keto-style!
  • Goat cheese
  • Blue cheese

Then, top up the cheese with some of the following ingredients:

  • Ham
  • Cooked bacon bites
  • Chopped walnuts
  • Wilted cooked spinach
  • Butter fried mushrooms

Finally, fold the other half of the crepe back to close the crepe into a half-moon shape. Cover with a lid for 2 minutes on low heat to melt the cheese.

Serve immediately.

Expert Tips

I’ve done a lot of trial and error to make the best keto crepes. Here are my best tips to making the best ever keto crepes.

Choosing The Pan

You must use a crepe pan or pancake griddle to cook crepes, but never a frying pan!
There are a few differences between a crepe pan and a frying pan, explaining why a crepe won’t cook evenly in a frying pan.
For example, a crepe pan has:

  • Shallower sides – this makes it easier to flip the crepes and crisp the borders of the crepes fast while keeping the center moist and flexible.
  • A thinner metal layer than a regular frying pan cooks the crepe faster.
  • A flatter bottom,  diffusing heat more evenly.

Knowing When They’re Cooked

A crepe is ready to be flipped over when the edges are crispy, dry, and pull out by themselves from the pan.

The center of the crepes should also be set, still moist but not runny.

Crepes Sticking To The Pan?

A crepe might stick to the pan if you didn’t use:

  • A non-stick crepe pan is made of a non-stick material like Tefal pans.
  • Oil to grease the pan between each crepe.
  • A crepe pan – frying pans are not suitable to cook crepes.
  • A hot pan, you added the batter into a cold or lukewarm pan.

Making Thin Keto Crepes

The thickness of your keto crepes depends on the speed at which you tilt and rotate the crepe pan after adding the batter. The faster you tilt the pan, the better it spread on the pan and covers the surface.

The trick to making a thin keto crepe is to:

  • Warm the crepe pan for 2 minutes before greasing.
  • Grease with minimal oil using a piece of absorbent paper to spread the fat – adding too much oil fry crepes!
  • Add the crepe batter to the center of the pan.
  • Tilt the pan fast with a large angle rotating clockwise.

The Best Keto Crepes

Keto Crepes

Ingredients

  • 4 large Eggs
  • 4 oz Cream Cheese
  • 1 ⅓ cup Almond Flour
  • 2 tablespoons Erythritol or 1/4 teaspoon stevia drops
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • ¼ cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
  • 1 tablespoon Butter melted

Instructions

  • Add all the ingredients into a blender and blend at high speed until creamy and smooth. You may have to stop the blender, scrape down the side of the jug as some flour may pulse on the sides, and repeat blending until smooth. Overall it shouldn't take more than 45 seconds to create a smooth keto crepe batter.
  • Pour the batter into a mixing bowl rest for 5 minutes.
  • Heat a non-stick 10-inch crepe pan under medium heat. Rub the pan's surface with a piece of absorbent paper covered with a teaspoon of coconut oil or grass-fed butter. Don't leave too much oil on the pan, or you will fry the crepes.
  • Pour 1/3 cup of batter into the pan, then tip and rotate the pan fast to spread the batter as thinly as possible and cover the entire pan. It takes a bit of time and practice. Watch my picture above in the post to see the angle I give to the pan to spread the batter evenly. If your batter is too thick and doesn't spread well, that is ok. Stir in 1 or 2 extra tablespoons of almond milk in the batter to thin it out.
  • Cook gently, for about 2-3 minutes or until the edges dry out, and it's easy to peel off the sides with your fingers and flip it over. I don't recommend sliding a spatula under the crepes. Use your fingers to peel off the side and flip. It's much easier and prevents the crepe from breaking. Cook for 1 more minute on the other side.
  • Serve with sugar-free monk fruit syrup, keto jam, or almond butter.
  • Repeat the steps above to cook the next crepes. Always re-grease the pan between each crepe.

Notes

Storage Instructions

These keto crepes store very well in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Stack the crepes on a plate, wrap them with plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out, and store them.
You can also freeze this crepe keto recipe, but to do so, wrap each crepe individually into plastic wrap or in a zip-lock bag.

    12 Thoughts On Keto Crepes (Only 1.6g Net Carbs)
  1. 5 stars
    These are the bomb! So quick and easy to make and the cream cheese makes them SO creamy and delicious. Best keto pancake/crepe recipe I’ve found.

  2. Love the flavor,but could not keep from sticking so impossible to turn. I do not use nonstick cookware, so increased the oil a bit. Coconut oil worked better than butter. May try again.

  3. Oh my, are these delicious or what? Carine knocks it out of the ballpark again! Carine, you are definitely the undisputed champion of keto recipes, based on all of my experience.

    I made these a little bit thick, somewhere in between the normal thicknesses of a crepe and a pancake. So… not exactly a classic crepe, but it did make them easier to flip with a spatula that way, instead of using that “flip with your fingers” trick.
