See, this ingredient list isn’t so scary: no xanthan gum or anything like that!

• Eggs: I try to source pasture raised and/or organic eggs when possible. You’ll be using the egg white as well as the egg yolks.
• Cream: I’ll discuss this more in a minute!
• Butter: I like to use grass-fed butter in these. But I’m sure you could substitute melted coconut oil or avocado oil.
• Vanilla: Adding a splash of vanilla really enhances the flavor of these crepes. Please use pure vanilla extract!
• Cinnamon: A touch of cinnamon makes for some even more tasty KETO crepes!
• Blackberries: I like to use berries to fill these low-carb crepes since they tend to be lower carb than other berries.
• Coconut flour: The coconut flour is probably the ingredient that you would have the most difficulty finding, but even regular supermarkets are carrying it now. Check around and you should be able to find it. Bonus: since these don’t contain any wheat flour or almond flour, the grain free and nut free!

 

 

Can we chat about cream for a second?

You guys know that I’m a huge fan of Kalona SuperNatural. Their whipping cream is my personal favorite. I love that it’s made with cream from pasture-grazed cows, and that it only contains one ingredient: organic cream.

Most creams on the market, even organic ones, contain stabilizers and other additives in the forms of carrageenan, Polysorbate 80, gums, etc., which I try to avoid.

Beyond simple ingredients, Kalona SuperNatural whipping cream is less-processed in other ways: It’s non-homogenized and gently pasteurized to just 145°F. All of these factors are so rare to find!

Plus the flavor is just really good. These are the reasons I highly recommend it.

Okay, back to making the KETO crepe recipe!

 

How to Make KETO Crepes:

It’s incredibly easy to make the batter, guys.

Simply put everything in the blender (I’m sure you could use a food processor as well), whiz it up to create a smooth batter, and let it sit for 10 minutes.

Letting the batter rest allows the coconut flour to absorb the liquid.

 

Fry the crepe batter in a hot pan (I like to use a cast iron skillet) over medium-low heat with a little butter. A special crepe pan would make this even easier, but it isn’t necessary! 

You’ll want to use a scant 1/8 cup of batter for each crepe. Pour it into the hot pan and move the pan in a circular motion to cover the bottom with the batter.

Cook until the crepe is beginning to brown on the first side. Flip and let the crepe cook until it begins to brown on the second side.

Keep in mind that the first crepe is usually a little mangled, but the rest should turn out better!

Stack them up on a plate as you finish them. This will keep these thin pancakes warm and soft as you cook the rest.

Don’t they look like traditional crepes?!

KETO Crepe Filling:

Now you’re gonna want to finish your KETO crepes with a low-carb filling!

I like to use vanilla whipped cream. It’s made with just 2 simple ingredients: whipping cream (you could also use heavy cream) and vanilla extract! Just whip them together until stiff peaks form.

You could also opt for cream cheese whipped cream, which sounds absolutely scrumptious! 

 

 

Now for the best part: filling the crepes!

Since berries are lower in carbs than other fruits, I recommend using them in your crepes. Blackberries are still in season in September, so I like to use those this time of year.

 

Carb Content:

These crepes contain 7 grams of carbs, 4.25 grams of fiber, and 2.75 g net carbs.

They also contain 23 grams of fat and 8.75 grams of protein.

Notes:

• If you’d like a little sweetness in your KETO crepes, you could add a low-carb sweetener that’s compliant with the KETO diet such as stevia or monk fruit extract. I personally don’t like the flavor of natural low-carb sweeteners, so I prefer to have unsweetened whipped cream.
• You can switch it up and use other berries such as raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, etc.
• If you’d like to try savory crepes instead of sweet crepes, you could simply leave out the vanilla extract. Fill the crepes with savory fillings such as fried veggies, scrambled eggs, feta cheese, bacon, etc.
• If you have any leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
