Keto Crepes
There is just something about crepes. A delightful, thin pancake that has all the pancake flavors but is light and fluffy and rolls around your favorite filling.
Crepes are like having dessert for breakfast and not having to feel guilty about it! I mean, score, right??
The great thing about these almond flour crepes is that every person can have a different version! Fill it, top it, eat it plain – up to you!
But there is certainly a way to eat them that will satisfy ALL!

What are Crepes?
Well, crepes are basically a super thin pancake. Pancakes are traditionally thick and heavy.
Crepes are paper thin and you can roll them up around your favorite “toppings”. Even though the topping is on the inside!
How to Make Keto Crepes
Add the ingredients to a food processor or blender, and pulse until completely combined.
If the batter is thick, thin it out by whisking in a bit of water. You want it to be thin enough to spread out easily in the skillet.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium to medium-low heat.
Place about 1/4 of a cup of the batter into the skillet, and swirl it gently around to spread it out into a thin circle.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, carefully flipping until it is completely cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining crepes and the top with your favorite choice of toppings.
How to Get a Thin Crepe
A lof of this has to do with the consistency of the batter. You really do want to have a thin batter. If it is too thick, you can slowly thin it down with water.
I usually make the first crepe and then determine if I need to thin it out or not!
How to Flip a Crepe
Here is where you want to be careful. The crepe is paper thin and you can’t go flipping it like a pancake. Very gently make sure nothing is sticking and then flip!
Keto Crepes Kitchen Essentials
Frying Pan – You will need a nice, flat frying pan that heats evenly.
Silicone Spatula – I have switched over to silicone for most kitchen tools such as this so as to not scratch my pans.

Low Carb Sweetener
I chose to use Lakanto Powdered sweetener for this recipe. I’m actually starting to use powdered sweetener instead of granular more and more! I find it blends much better.
Keto Crepe Toppings
This is where you get to be creative! There are so many toppings to choose from.
Below are my favorites! But I’m sure you can come up with more!
Homemade Whipped Cream – This is my go to topping for crepes. It goes inside, on top of, around, and through! I basically have a crepe with my whipped cream instead of the other way around! No shame!
Berries – YEP! Good old fashioned berries! No need to have a ton, but a small handful of berries compliments these crepes perfectly!
Lakanto Sugar-Free Syrup – I LOVE this syrup. So many “sugar-free” syrups are simply full of crap ingredients. Not this one! Lakanto Sugar-Free Syrup has the best ingredients out there!
Butter – I mean, do you need anything else when butter is an option? Not really! Mmm…. butter!
Homemade Buttermilk Syrup – Now, if you want the perfect mix of butter and syrup, then certainly try Keen for Keto’s Buttermilk Syrup!

Be Warned
Making Crepes are not for the faint of heart! It can be a wonderful adventure or a frustrating adventure!
It is hard to get a perfect circle. Mine usually aren’t.
Temperature matters.
Spatulas matter.
Your frying pan matter.
It ALL matters.
I can tell you that EVERY time I make crepes, the first one never turns out. I just prepare for that. But there IS something good that comes out of that. I use that one to snack on while making the rest!
Sometimes your crepes may crack when you fold them. Just go with the flow. Unless you are photographing your food, that doesn’t matter.
Pro Tips
Don’t let your frying pan and oil get TOO hot. Otherwise, it will cook too quickly for parts and cook unevenly.
