HAVE YOU MADE CREPES BEFORE?
Crepes might seem fancy(kind of intimidating actually!) and usually reserved for special occasions, but they're really very easy!
If you've never had them, crepes are a type of very thin pancake that are served with a variety of fillings. No special pans required(I used a square pan in a demo on instagram and they still came out circle-who knew 😉 Any regular non-stick(at least 10 inch) skillet that you have in your kitchen will work!
WHAT INGREDIENTS DO I NEED TO MAKE THESE ALMOND FLOUR CREPES?
You only need a few basic ingredients to make these crepes. If you're used to baking with alternative flours, then you probably already have everything in your pantry!
- Almond Flour
- Tapioca Flour
- Eggs
- Milk
- Sugar
- Vanilla Extract
- Coconut Oil
Crepes are usually a breakfast or brunch option, but our family loves them any time of day and with a variety of different toppings and fillings.
Serve them rolled up or folded then stuffed or topped with anything from fruit to chocolate. The possibilities are endless!
This recipe makes a sweet crepe, but to make a savory crepe, all you have to do is eliminate a couple ingredients. Leave out the sugar and vanilla extract then sub with a ¼ teaspoon of salt. Serve this savory version with any of your favorite meats or veggies.

Almond Flour Crepes
Ingredients
- ½ cup Almond Flour
- 2 tablespoon Tapioca Flour
- 3 Eggs
- ⅓ cup Unsweetened Plant-Based Milk
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- ½ teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil melted
Instructions
- Mix almond flour and tapioca in a medium size bowl.
- Add the rest of the ingredients to the flour and mix well until a batter forms. The batter will be very thin.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
- In a small non-stick skillet over medium heat, add a teaspoon of oil and let it get hot.
- Using a measuring cup, add about ¼ cup of the crepe batter. Pour in a circle on your hot pan, thinning out batter into a circle shape- either by swirling the pan or I like to use the back of a spoon.
- Once edges are done, about 2-3 minutes, flip and cook 1 more minute on the other side.
- Remove from heat and repeat with the rest of the batter. Serve with desired toppings.

Instead of using a pan and pouring batter into the pan in a thin layer, can you use one of those crepe makers instead ?

I haven't tried, but if you have one already I don't see why not! Definitely not necessary though.

This recipe has become a staple in our house, and I almost always double it because one batch just isn't enough! Super easy to prep & cook, and VERY delicious to eat! We replace the tapioca flour with arrowroot because I always have that on hand 🙂 Crepes were something I missed and something my daughters never had with our Celiac lifestyle, but this recipe has made that old news! Thank you!
