Are Crepes Compatible with Keto?
It depends on the ingredients used to make those crepes. For example, if you follow the original crepes recipe, one crepe will have around 13 grams of carbs, which is definitely too much for maintaining the keto lifestyle. And, since such crepes are made of wheat flour and sugar, they are neither keto-friendly nor healthy.
If you are craving crepes, this recipe is the one you need. One crepe has only 3 grams of carbs and 134 calories. The thoroughly chosen ingredients make these crepes low-carb and healthy so that you can enjoy these keto crepes at any time of the day.
What's in These Keto Crepes?
This keto crepes recipe is as simple as it gets. It consists of easy-to-find ingredients (there are only 7) and is very quick to make. Here are the ingredients that you should gather for this recipe:
- Eggs
- Coconut cream
- Water
- Monkfruit sweetener
- Coconut flour
- Almond flour
- Coconut oil
Once you make the batter for this low-carb crepe recipe, you can adjust its thickness. If you realize that the batter is too thick after making the first crepe, try adding a tablespoon of milk (coconut milk, almond milk, or the regular kind).
I know that you might be wondering whether it's possible to use only one kind of flour instead of two different ones - and the answer is NO, you can't. The key to a perfectly textured batter for these keto crepes is to use both coconut flour and almond flour. If you use only one of these flour types, it will be impossible for you to flip the crepe to the other side.
If you don't have any coconut oil left, you can definitely substitute it with either olive oil or butter. Just replace it with the same amount of the needed ingredient.
And if you're a fan of vanilla, you can definitely add a teaspoon of vanilla extract into the crepes batter.
And one more thing: You can substitute the monk fruit sweetener with almost any other available sugar substitute (as long as it's low-carb). Here are some great options: swerve, erythritol, stevia, and sucralose.
How to Make Keto Crepes
Now that you've prepared all of the ingredients, you should add all of them to a large bowl. Then using a hand mixer, combine the ingredients together to make the keto crepes batter. Or alternatively, you can place the crepes ingredients into a blender and blend them on high until smooth.
It is important to set the batter aside for at least 10 minutes to let it rest. Don't skip this step since it ensures that the batter ingredients are better incorporated together, and you'll have no trouble flipping the crepes to the other side.
Also, another thing that you should know is that you should oil the pan before adding the crepes batter. It is essential that you do this for every crepe that you make.
Keto Crepes Topping Ideas (Sweet & Savory)

So if you're now sure how to serve your cooked crepe, here are some delicious sweet keto crepe topping ideas:
