Are Crepes Keto?
Unfortunately, crepes aren’t keto-friendly. They’re made using wheat flour, milk and often have a lot of sugar in them.
But with just simple changes to the basic crepe recipe, you can reduce the carbs and have a healthier choice that tastes just like the real ones.
And the proof that the result is delicious is right here in this post. If you try our recipe, you will find out that eating crepes on a keto diet was never more quickly than this.
Keto Crepes Ingredients
The ingredients in these gluten-free cream cheese crepes are easy to find and super familiar. You’ll need only 8 ingredients to make this keto dessert:
- Cream cheese – Make sure that the cream cheese is at room temperature before you start using it.
- Eggs – Use large room temperature large eggs to avoid that eggy taste.
- Almond flour – If you want to have fluffy and light crepes, you need to use superfine blanched almond flour, one of the most common ingredients in keto dessert recipes.
- Granulated Sweetener – This will give the crepes some sweetness and make them more delicious. For savory keto crepes, omit the sweetener and add a pinch of salt.
- Vanilla extract – Use the highest quality vanilla extract you can find. Vanilla is what makes this keto crepes recipe incredibly tasty. Don’t skip vanilla extract.
- Almond milk – Unsweetened milk is necessary, and you can choose your favorite plant-based milk.
- Non-stick cooking spray or Butter – I prefer using an oil spray out of convenience but you can use grass-fed unsalted butter to grease the pan because it makes the creps super buttery.
How to Make Keto Crepes
Keto Crepes recipe is incredibly easy to make, and the crepe batter is ready in just a few minutes. The keto crepe batter can be made one day in advance, but I recommend eating crepes right away.
Follow the steps below to make these fantastic crepes:
- Combine the cream cheese, eggs, almond flour, sweetener, and a pinch of salt with an electric mixer.
- If the batter looks too thick, you have to add the almond milk.
- Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.
- And then you can cook them one at a time.
How Long to Cook Crepes
- In an 8-inch skillet, pour ¼ cup of butter into the center of the pan. Twirl the pan, so the batter stretches on the entire pan. Watch the keto crepe video tutorial to see how I do it.
- Cook them for 1-2 minutes on each side.
- With a spatula, flip the crepe carefully to the other side.
Tips to Make the Perfect Keto Crepes
- Before you start, I recommend taking out the cream cheese from the fridge an hour before using it.
- If you want to have a very smooth batter without lumps, you need to use an electric mixer or a food processor.
- Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to let the air bubbles disappear.
- Make sure the pan is hot, but not too hot, because you will end up with crispy crepes instead of soft ones.
- Grease well the pan!
- Spread the batter as thin as possible for a better texture.
- Gently release all of the edges with a spatula before carefully flipping them to the other side.
How to Serve Keto Crepes?
You can add your favorite toppings to these delicious crepes. Here are some of my favorite combinations.
- Keto Maple Syrup: This syrup has a thick consistency and a sweet, buttery flavor, similar to real maple syrup, that goes perfectly with these keto cream cheese crepes.
- Sweetened cream cheese and low carb fruit– Spread softened cream cheese with erythritol on the insides of the crepes, top with mixed berries, fold and enjoy.
- Homemade Nutella and Strawberries – Fill the crepes with homemade keto Nutella and sliced strawberries for a delectable breakfast or dessert.
- Berries and sugar-free chocolate syrup: Fold your crepes in the way you like it, then pour generously over them sugar-free chocolate syrup and fresh berries.
How to Store Leftovers
- To Freeze – Place parchment sheets between crepes, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and chill or freeze up until you are craving crepes again. Let the crepes stay at room temperature about an hour before serving.
- To Refrigerate – You can store the leftover crepes in an airtight container. They’ll be good in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. When ready to enjoy, reheat them in a pan over medium heat for 30 seconds.
