How To Make Almond Flour Crepes

Ingredients
Plus, all you need to make these easy low-carb crepes are 4 simple ingredients:

Almond Flour Pancakes vs Almond Flour Crepes
There is some confusion between crepes and pancakes, so let me help you understand the difference between them.
First, the texture of a crepe recipe batter is always thinner and more liquid than pancakes. It is because you want crepes to be larger, thin, and crispy.
Secondly, crepes can be eaten with savory or sweet fillings, while pancakes are mostly eaten sweet.
Finally, crepes are originally from France, while pancakes were eaten first by Roman and Greek.
So if you like thick crepes, use my almond flour pancake recipe. But otherwise, keep reading for a tasty, thin almond flour crepe.
Almond Flour Crepe Filling
There are many ways to appreciate those almond flour crepes. You can either add a sweet filling or a savory filling.
The best low-carb sweet crepes fillings are:
- Sugar-free crystal sweetener – the easiest and most delicious crepe is filled with sugar-free crystal sweetener. I recommend a Monk fruit crystal sweetener and a dash of cinnamon or lemon juice.
- Whipped coconut cream and berries or regular whipped cream.
- Sugar-free maple syrup – I use Monk fruit syrup as it has no carbs, no sugar, and it is natural.
- Sugar-free hazelnut spread– my chocolate hazelnut spread recipe is 100% sugar-free and keto-friendly. It is absolutely amazing in these crepes for breakfast.
- Homemade peanut butter
- Yogurt, berries, a drizzle of nut butter, and sliced almonds – If you don’t eat dairy, use dairy-free coconut yogurt. You can also use greek yogurt if you can eat dairy.
- Sugar-free chia seed jam
How To Cook Keto Crepes
These almond flour crepes are very simple to make. So don’t be afraid to try this recipe, even if you are not a chef!
It is truly a no-fail recipe for sure. The batter will spread evenly and cook beautifully as long as your pan is hot enough.
Only 2-3 minutes on both sides, and they are ready to eat. You will love the delicious crispiness of the borders.
The texture is light, crispy, and perfect for making a dessert or a sweet breakfast.
Storage Instructions
The unfilled keto crepes can be stored in a fridge on a plate for up to three days.
Make sure you cover the plate with plastic wrap to prevent the crepes from drying out. It’s also possible to freeze them, but you’d have to put them in individual plastic wrapping.
Rewarm them on a crepe pan and fill them with the filling of your choice.

Almond Flour Crepes
Ingredients
- 4 Eggs
- ¼ cup Almond Flour
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- ¼ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil to grease the crepe pan
- 1-2 tablespoons Erythritol Monk fruit or erythritol
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, ground almond, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sugar-free crystal sweetener of your choice. Whisk until all the ingredients are perfectly combined and no lumps form. Set aside.
- Warm a 9-inch crepe pan under medium heat, and use absorbent paper to rub the coconut oil on the pan and grease the pan.
- Scoop the crepe batter into the frying pan and tilt the pan in a circular motion to ensure that the batter coats the surface evenly. The thickness of the crepes will depend on how much batter you use for each. Usually, 1/4 cup is what you need to make a 9-inch crepe.
- Cook the crepe until the sides start to crisp up and lift off easily from the frying pan. It should take about 2 minutes each, over medium heat.
- Loosen with a spatula and flip over to cook the other side. Both sides should be lightly brown, and the crepes should be crispy on the sides and softer in the middle.
- Repeat for the next crepes.
- To serve, fill each crepe with the whipped coconut cream, fold in a triangle, and top with the fruits of your choice fresh berries, spicy plum jam, etc.

I just had these for lunch. I omitted the vanilla as I wanted to fill them with chicken, cheese and roasted red pepper. They were AMAZING!!! Thank you for this delicious recipe. It will be a staple in my diet!
Great ! I love the savory filling ideas. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the blog and all the low carb recipes around. XOXO Carine.
This recipe is delicious. I’ve been put on a tough diet of no dairy, grains or sugar so this recipe is ideal. I did eliminate the vanilla but filling the crepe with banana and a fruit compote. Thank you for this recipe!!
My pleasure! It makes me so happy to share recipes that can help anyone on a diet! I know how difficult it could be to find tasty recipes without this or that. My husband is dairy free, egg free and meat free and I don’t eat sugar! So my daily challenge is to create easy tasty recipes that are allergy friendly and share them here. Enjoy the recipes on the blog <3 XOXO Carine.
I just tried this recipe and the crepes seem very “eggy”… is this normal? Thanks
Hello! It is a low car recipe mainly made of eggs so yes the egg texture is there for sure! If you prefer a different low carb crepe recipe try my coconut flour crepes recipe. It is delicious too and you would probably prefer the texture if you are not very much into egg crepes. Enjoy the blog recipes my friend. XOXO Carine.
Thank you for this recipe. I am looking forward to trying it. Is it possible to freeze them? I like making things that can be frozen and reheated later.
I won’t freeze any sort of crepes. I tried before and I don’t really like the result. However this is a quick recipe that keep well in the fridge for 3-4 days ! Enjoy the crepes! Carine.
I just made these. They are perfection. I made them 1/2 size and filled my first 2 with almond butter and cherry almond butter. So so so good. And the recipe could not be easier. I already have it memorized. This is a new staple in my meal/snack plan!
Thanks for this lovely comment ! I am so happy you enjoy the almond crepes. Enjoy them and the other low carb recipes on the blog. XOXO Carine.
These are so good! I had them for breakfast and I have enough left over for lunch with some shredded pork. I’m so happy you made this recipe. I have missed crepes so much.
Hello! I am so happy to read your beautiful comment! I can’t live without crepes either 🙂 Probably my French roots ! I also recently made coconut flour crepes, low carb too and very tasty if you want a different crepes recipe for some other days. Enjoy the crepes and the low carb recipes on the blog. XOXO Carine.
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! They are so simple and taste fantastic. I made a “carrot cake” version by adding two finely grated carrots to the batter and increasing the cinnamon. I filled them with a cream cheese filling I sweetened with my stevia blend. I am really excited to try these again with your sugar free Nutella!
My pleasure! thanks SO much for taking a minte to share such a beautiful comment. I love your carrot idea! Sounds delicious. See you soon on the blog. XOXO Carine.
Is this able to be make with egg substitutes eother liquid or powder?
Not this one I am sorry. There is 4 eggs in this crepe recipe so it won’t work with a egg replacer. Try my buckwheat flour crepes recipe or 2-ingredients chickpea flour crepes recipe, both are egg free and gluten free. Enjoy ! XOXO Carine.
So easy and delirious, I will try sweet and savory fillings, great for bread replacement!
Thanks my friend! I love to read positive feedback like this. Enjoy the crepes. XOXO Carine.
These make great crepes. Instead of the vanilla and cinnamon I used garlic salt and chilli flakes (habanero) I like it spicy. And stuffed with chicken breast and cheddar. And topped with a little hellmans mayo. Amazing 🙂
Thanks for sharing your savory recipe ! I always eat my crepes sweet but I LOVE your idea! Delicious combo. Thanks for taking a minute to share this here. I hope you will find even more delicious recipes to try on the blog. XOXO Carine.
Thank you.
Please clarify. You mention water in the blog post: “Yes! the dairy free French crepes recipe made with water instead of milk are thin, light and crispy with a light egg flavor.” Do you use water then (not shown in actual recipe)? Also, do you really use almond meal or almond flour? The meal seems like it would be nuttier and thicker than almond flour. Please advise. Thank you for your time.
Hi! I did not add water or milk in this low carb crepes recipe, follow the recipe and it will perfectly work. In my blog post I am talking about the high carb authentic Frech recipe, the one I was born with, the one that inspire me to create a low carb version (this almond flour recipe) which has a similar texture without the bad carbs. You can use whatever you like almond meal/ground almond/almond flour all are exactly the same thing. The only difference you can sometimes spot in store is darker almond meal that use unblanched almonds (the one with skin on). But any almond meal works here even superfine one. Enjoy the recipe and merry Christmas. XOXO Carine.
I made them many times, it is a very yummy low carb crepes that I love to eat with melted cheese too – I just don’t use vanilla and cinnamon in the batter.
So quick and easy. Thanks for the recipe. I halved it and it was perfect serving for 1.
Thanks for this positive comment! I am so happy that you love those low carb crepes, my family always loves it too even the kids ! Enjoy the recipe on the blog, XOXO, Carine.
These were so delicious. I was craving crepes so badly and this recipe truly satisfied without the guilt!
Thank you so much for this lovely comment! I am so glad you enjoy those crepes. It is so hard to fix a craving when you are on low carb diet!

Can’t wait to try these! Sounds Yummy!
Thank you so much for sharing.
My pleasure! enjoy the lovely crepes 🙂 xoxo Carine
I used the crepe recipe this evening for our Shrove Tuesday pancakes. Added a tablespoon of melted butter to the uncooked batter to enrich it, filled the crepes with summer berries and lightly-whipped double (heavy) cream and they were delicious. My non-keto, non-low carb family agreed.
Hi my friend, Thanks for your lovely comment. I am so happy to read that your family loves this low carb crepe recipe. It is great to have low carb recipe that everyone can enjoy without noticing the difference. Keep browsing the blog I have got lots of low carb/keto recipe available !

I don’t have a crepe pan but it works very well. It is a good crepe to stuff with peanut butter and berries.
I can eat crepes all the time. I can have them for dinner or dessert. I am intrigued by these almond crepes. Looks delicious!
