How to Make Almond Flour Crepes
Combine the erythritol, salt, and almond flour in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add in the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract and whisk until well combined. The results should be runny but a bit thick.
Prep the bottom of a flat frying pan with a bit of coconut oil. You can either brush it on with a pastry brush or use a folded paper towel.
Heat the pan over medium heat.
Add one measure of the batter to the pan and spread the batter around the pan.
Cook until the bubbles have formed and the crepes no longer look shiny.
Run a rubber spatula all over the borders of the crepe and work up the center carefully as you go to detach the crepe from the pan.
Flip the crepe over and cook the other side for a few more minutes.
Reserve on a covered plate until all of the crepes are finished.
Add toppings and serve. Enjoy!
Crepe Topping Ideas
- Coconut yogurt/ or any plant-based yogurt. You can use whipped cream in case you don’t need the crepes to be dairy-free
- Powdered erythritol or powdered sugar in case you don’t care about the keto side of these crepes.
- Fruits: raspberries, strawberries, blueberries…
- Honey/maple sugar (only in case you are not trying to make the crepes keto friendly)
Recipe Tips
These almond flour crepes are best eaten right after being made, especially since they are more pliable while being hot. Since we are using gluten-free flour they break much easier than regular crepes, however, making them thin and eating them hot will prevent them from breaking too easily.
You might want to fill them with a bit of whipped cream or plant-based yogurt and some sliced fruits, for this spread a layer of the cream and place the fruit on top. Roll and enjoy!
You can substitute the almond milk with regular milk, or any other plant-based milk of your choice.
FAQs
How long are almond flour pancakes good for?
You can keep these gluten free crepes for up to a few days (about 3 or 4) if stored in an airtight container in the fridge. This is a great recipe to use for meal planning throughout the week.
Can I freeze crepes?
Yes, you can freeze crepes by placing them into an airtight container and laying a piece of parchment paper between each crepe. Then when you want to eat one (or multiple) take them out of the container and slowly warm up in a skillet until warm enough to roll or fold. You can keep them frozen for up to 3 months.
How do you make crepes less rubbery?
You want to allow the batter to rest for about 30 seconds to one minute after stirring before using. Giving the batter a chance to rest is a great way to get the flour to relax so that they don’t turn out rubbery.
