This keto crepes recipe might be a thin version of keto pancakes , but they sure feel distinct. The texture is different, and unlike pancakes, you can make almond flour crepes sweet or savory. Serve them for any meal from a low carb breakfast to dinner (more ideas below!), plus they can easily transform into an elegant carb-conscious keto dessert . If you’ve never made low carb crepes before, this is the ultimate guide to use!

I originally posted this keto crepe recipe after I made it for my husband for our wedding anniversary, because they are my husband’s favorite breakfast ever. They remind us of Paris, the destination of our honeymoon and several other trips. We were always able to find restaurants that stuffed these light and thin pancakes with all kinds of goodies, but they were never keto-friendly. So, I got in the kitchen to experiment with making keto crepes that taste just as good!

Why You Need My Keto Crepes Recipe

• Soft, delicate texture
• Pliable – they bend and roll like regular crepes!
• Simple ingredients
• Entire batch ready in 30 minutes
• Only 1 gram net carbs each
• Make them sweet or savory

There’s a secret ingredient in this recipe that makes these pliable, but the flour and sweetener you choose are just as important for the best keto crepes. I use Wholesome Yum Almond Flour (the finest consistency out there!) and Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend (which is sweet like sugar and locks in moisture!) to make a smooth batter with a touch of sweetness.

Ingredients & Substitutions

Here I explain the best ingredients for my low carb crepes recipe, what each one does, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card .

One of the biggest challenges with making keto crepes is getting them to be pliable and not fall apart. In regular crepes made using wheat flour, the gluten helps to bind them together. That’s not the case with almond flour.

But, can you make keto friendly crepes that still roll and fold? Definitely! A few key ingredients make this work:

• Powdered Gelatin – This is my secret ingredient that will prevent almond flour crepes from falling apart! The gelatin acts as a binder. Make sure it’s unflavored.
• Water – It blooms the gelatin, and helps thin out the batter. You could also use your favorite keto milk substitute .
• Wholesome Yum Almond Flour – It’s blanched and super finely milled, so no gritty texture!
• Sea salt
• Eggs – Use large eggs for the right ratio in your keto crepe batter.
• Ghee – It gives these almond flour keto crepes a rich, buttery flavor. Feel free to sub this for coconut oil or regular butter.
• Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend – It adds a light sweetness to the batter, and unlike other sweeteners, helps lock in moisture. Skip it if you’re making keto savory crepes.
• Vanilla extract – Another flavor enhancer for a sweet keto crepe recipe. (Omit for savory.)

How To Make Keto Crepes

I have step-by-step photos here to help you visualize the recipe. For full instructions with amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card .

1. Bloom gelatin. Mix gelatin in a small bowl with water. Set aside to thicken.
2. Blend the batter. Add almond flour, salt, eggs, melted ghee, sweetener (if using), vanilla (if using), and remaining water in a blender. Blitz until smooth. Add bloomed gelatin to the blender and blend again until smooth.

TIP: Batter too thick?

Add a small amount of water to thin the batter, but not too much! It should still be slightly thicker than the traditional runny crepe batter.

1. Cook. Add your almond flour crepe batter to an oiled skillet preheated over medium-low heat (or medium heat depending on your stove and pan). Quickly tilt in a circular motion to reach all edges of the pan. Cook until edges look dry and the crepe forms bubbles all over.
2. Flip. When edges are dry, gently flip the crepe and continue cooking until lightly browned and done. Repeat with the remaining batter.

1. Enjoy! Fold or roll your keto crepes however you’d like — see below for serving ideas.

My Recipe Tips

• No need to refrigerate the keto crepe batter. This is a common requirement for traditional crepes made with wheat flour, but you can skip it for these gluten-free crepes made with almond flour. The reason is, the need for refrigeration has to do with the interaction between gluten and water. No gluten means no waiting required!
• Use the right pan. An 8-inch nonstick pan works best, and make sure it has a heavy bottom. This low carb crepe recipe is more difficult if you try to use a larger one or a lighter pan.
• Heat the pan gradually. If you heat the pan too fast, it will likely overheat, you’ll have to reduce the heat to compensate, then increase again. Instead, heat it over medium-low and be patient as it heats up.
• Make sure the pan is hot, but not too hot. Clear as mud, right? 😉 What I mean is, heat the pan at medium-low (or sometimes medium), not higher, but give it enough time at this temperature to heat up before you begin cooking. If the pan is too cold, the crepe batter will stick. If it’s too hot, the crepes will be crispy instead of soft.
• Use just a little oil (or ghee), but not too much. You need enough fat to prevent sticking, but if you use too much, the keto crepes will crisp up. You need a very, very small amount, and only need to grease after every few crepes, not after each one.
• Swirl the keto crepe batter around the pan correctly. I did this wrong for years and had no idea! Don’t tilt the pan one direction and wait for the batter to drip down to the edge. Instead, rapidly tilt in a circle in all directions, and repeat this quickly 2-3 times as soon as you pour the batter in. The circle of crepe batter will gradually get larger as you do this.
• Flip at the right time. Cook the crepe for 1-2 minutes, until the edges are dry and you see bubbles forming on top. (Time can vary depending on your pan and stove.) Gently slide a turner underneath, and if it feels dry enough to stay together, then you can flip. You may need to adjust the temperature a bit as you go. Usually, all the crepes after the first one should turn out about the same if you have the temperature right, but the first one is often a flop.
• Use a reader’s tip for flipping low carb crepes. Loosen around the edges first, raise one edge up a little further with spatula, and then use your fingers to carefully pull it up and flip over.
• Cook for less time on the second side. After you flip, you usually need less time than the first side. No more than a minute most of the time.

Filling Ideas

Sweet:

Can you have crepes on keto if they’re sweet? Absolutely! Try these easy ideas:

• Berries – Strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries pair nicely, but just about any keto fruit can work! Pair them with sugar-free whipped cream (pictured in this post).
• Keto Lemon Curd – For a smooth, sweet, and tangy flavor boost.
• Ricotta or Cream Cheese – Whisk it with powdered sweetener , to taste, for an easy and sweet keto crepe filling. You can also take it up a notch with strawberry cheesecake fluff , chocolate mousse , or homemade tvorog .
• Nut Butter – Spread some natural almond butter, peanut butter, or homemade sugar free nutella (or just get a ready-made keto version ).
• Powdered Besti – Perfect for sprinkling!
• Sugar Free Caramel Sauce – Makes a mouthwatering drizzle.
• Nuts – A sprinkle of chopped almonds, pecans, or any keto nuts will add satisfying crunch.
• Keto Maple Syrup – This pours thick like real maple syrup, with a sweet and buttery flavor.

Savory:

For savory keto crepe filling ideas, omit the optional sweetener and vanilla in the recipe. Then fill them with…

• Ricotta or Cream Cheese – This works great for savory fillings, too!
• Fried Vegetables – Try caramelized onions , sauteed mushrooms , or even stir fry vegetables .
• Pesto & Tomatoes – Spread homemade pesto on the base of the crepe, then add chopped tomatoes on top.
• Chicken, Broccoli & Cheese – Make shredded chicken and roasted broccoli ahead, then roll up with your favorite keto cheese .
• Lox – Roll together with cream cheese, red onion, and capers!

Tools I Use For This Recipe

• Blender – A high-powered one gets the batter for this keto crepe recipe super smooth.
• 8-inch Nonstick Pan – This is the perfect size for making keto crepes that won’t break. Larger sizes are too hard to flip.
• Crepe Spatula – Makes it easier to lift crepes off the pan!

2. Meanwhile combine almond flour, sea salt, eggs, melted ghee or coconut oil, remaining 1/2 cup water, and optional ingredients (if using) in a blender . Blend until smooth.
3. Add gelatin mixture to the blender and blend until smooth. If it’s very thick for crepe batter, thin out with a little more water. (Do not thin out too much. It may still be a little thicker than normal crepe batter.)
4. Heat an 8-inch oiled pan over medium-low heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and quickly tilt in a circle repeatedly, to spread evenly into a thin layer. (It may form empty air bubbles at first, just keep rotating and the batter will fill them in.) You should be able to get 2-3 rotations in. Cook for 1-2 minutes , until the edges are dry, then carefully flip and cook for another minute on the other side.
5. Repeat with the remaining batter.

The Basic Keto Meal Formula

Eating keto doesn’t have to be complicated! While there are plenty of delicious easy keto recipes to choose from, you don’t even have to cook from a recipe to get started.

Simply follow the keto cheat sheet formula of protein + veggie + fat for your meals.

Be sure to choose a moderate amount of protein, only low carb vegetables (mostly ones that grow above ground), and generous fat to attain an optimal macro ratio. That’s approximately 60-75% of calories from fat, 20-25% protein, and 5-10% from carbohydrates. The table below will give you ideas for what to choose.

Understanding Macros

Macros are macronutrients for short. They include fat, protein, and carbohydrates.

You can calculate your own macros using the macro calculator , but the macro keto cheat sheet below will explain how to look at macros when following a keto lifestyle.

Carbs Are A Limit.

Keeping carbs low is what gets you into ketosis and keeps you there. Ketosis means that you’re using fat as your primary energy source instead of sugar, and requires keeping carbs very low.

A good starting point is 20-25 grams net carbs per day, but you can experiment after a few weeks to see if your body stays in ketosis at higher levels. People who are very active may be able to do more and stay in ketosis, up to around 50 grams per day.

“Carbs are a limit” means that you set a limit for how many carbs to eat per day and don’t exceed it. You don’t have to hit that limit, so if you’re under that’s okay, just don’t go over. Ideally most of your carbs would come from low carb vegetables, and if you’re eating enough veggies, you’ll usually get close to the limit naturally.

A common misconception is that reaching ketosis requires a certain macro ratio, but it’s really only restricting your carb intake that gets you there [ * ]. In the absence of sufficient carbs to use as energy, the body will switch to using fat as fuel. This is called the metabolic state of ketosis.

Protein Is A Goal.

Protein is made up of amino acids, the building blocks of all our cells. It’s a crucial for keeping our muscles strong and for many cellular functions [ * ].

“Protein is a goal” means that you always want to eat enough protein to reach the goal each day, but not exceed it too much. You want enough for your needs, but excess protein can trigger gluconeogenesis, which is protein being converted to sugar [ * ] and can kick you out of ketosis.

Fat Is A Lever.

Fat is the primary macronutrient in a keto lifestyle, because being in ketosis means that fat is your primary fuel source. Fat as a fuel source will come from your food, and if you are losing weight, from your body.

A big advantage of a keto lifestyle is the high fat intake. It keeps you full and satisfied, making it easier to stick to, and using it as the primary fuel source makes it easier on your body to burn body fat, with a lower chance of breaking down your muscle (provided you get enough protein).

Aside from reaching your protein goal and limiting your carbs, the remainder of your calories on a keto diet comes from fat.

Don’t fear fat – it’s your main energy source on keto, and getting enough of it trains your body to use fat for fuel instead of sugar. That means that as long as you are not overdoing your overall calorie intake, you’ll efficiently burn your body fat for fuel as well.

“Fat is a lever” means that you can increase or decrease your fat intake depending on your goals and hunger levels. Increase it (along with exercise) to gain muscle, or decrease it to lose weight.

Keto Food Swaps

One of my favorite challenges is creating recipes, or just discovering, keto food swaps. These are delicious keto replacements for traditionally high-carb or high-sugar foods.

So, I created this keto diet cheat sheet with all the swaps in one place! I also have more keto food swaps in my Easy Keto Cookbook .

Keto Swaps For Bread

Keto Swaps For Meals & Side Dishes

Keto Swaps For Snacks & Sauces

Keto Food List

When looking for a keto cheat sheet printable, the most-requested information is a keto food list.

The great thing is that keto doesn’t have to feel restrictive. It’s incredibly satisfying and there’s such a wide variety of foods you can eat!

Foods To Eat On Keto

• Leafy greens – Such as spinach, chard, and lettuce.
• Above-ground veggies – Such as peppers, zucchini, and cauliflower.
• Full-fat cream & cheese – Such as heavy cream, sour cream, and full-fat hard cheeses.
• Natural meats – Such as beef, lamb, and pork.
• Berries – Such as raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries.
• Avocados
• Unsweetened nut milks – Such as almond milk and coconut milk.
• Almond flour and coconut flour
• Eggs
• Healthy fats – Such as coconut oil, avocado oil, olive oil and butter.

Foods To Avoid On Keto

• White flour & sugar
• Rice & grains – Such as barley, wheat, and corn.
• Milk & yogurt – Such as fruit on the bottom yogurt, sweetened Greek yogurt, and all milk.
• Cereal
• Processed food – Such as granola bars, candy
• Most fruit – Such as apples, bananas, and grapes
• Hydrogenated fats – Such as vegetable oil, soybean oil, and margarine
• Sweetened beverages & condiments – Such as soda, ketchup, and sweet dressings
• Starchy veggies – Such as peas, carrots, and beets.
• Potatoes – Such as sweet potatoes and white potatoes.

That’s the short keto diet cheat sheet version of all the keto food categories, but I recommend downloading the full Keto Cheat Sheet System. It includes a super detailed printable keto food list with over 100 items, including 2 color-coded pages with net carb counts, along with 6 more pages of keto cheat sheets:

Electrolyte Basics

Getting enough electrolytes is crucial for anyone, but especially so on a keto diet. The reason is that ketosis has a diuretic effect, which increases excretion of water and electrolytes, especially sodium [ * ]. This is often the cause of the keto flu.

For more details on electrolytes and avoiding keto flu, check out the full keto flu guide here .

The important thing to know about electrolytes is that replenishing them will keep keto flu away and keep your body functioning well. I always recommend an electrolyte drink and whole food sources of anything your body needs before resorting to supplements, so I made a list of what to eat to get each of the 3 major electrolytes – sodium, magnesium and potassium.

Here’s your keto diet cheat sheet for getting electrolytes from food:

Keto Diet Types

People follow a keto lifestyle for different reasons. Some do it just to lose weight, others are after better overall health, increased energy, and reduced inflammation.

Strictly speaking, the defining factor of a keto diet is the metabolic state of ketosis, which is achieved by restricting carbs. However, many people (myself included) also reduce or eliminate processed, inflammatory, or low-nutrient foods.

Below is your keto cheat sheet summary of the different ways that people follow keto. You choose what works best for your goals and lifestyle!

• Strict Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, count all calories and macros, and eat clean, unprocessed foods.
• Lazy Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, and track only net carbs OR eat keto foods without tracking.
• Dirty Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, with “if it fits your macros” approach including processed foods.
• Low Carb – Up to 50-100g net carbs daily, less strict.

Tools I Use For This Recipe

• Blender – A high-powered one gets the batter for this keto crepe recipe super smooth.
• 8-inch Nonstick Pan – This is the perfect size for making keto crepes that won’t break. Larger sizes are too hard to flip.
• Crepe Spatula – Makes it easier to lift crepes off the pan!

Base Keto Crepes Recipe

• 2 tbsp Gelatin powder ▢
• 1 cup Water (divided) ▢
• 1 cup Wholesome Yum Blanched Almond Flour ▢
• 1/4 tsp Sea salt (increase to 1/2 tsp for savory) ▢
• 4 large Eggs ▢

Instructions

Tap on the times in the instructions to start a kitchen timer.

1. Place gelatin into a small bowl with 1/2 cup water. Set aside for 3 minutes to bloom.
2. Meanwhile combine almond flour, sea salt, eggs, melted ghee or coconut oil, remaining 1/2 cup water, and optional ingredients (if using) in a blender . Blend until smooth.
3. Add gelatin mixture to the blender and blend until smooth. If it’s very thick for crepe batter, thin out with a little more water. (Do not thin out too much. It may still be a little thicker than normal crepe batter.)
4. Heat an 8-inch oiled pan over medium-low heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and quickly tilt in a circle repeatedly, to spread evenly into a thin layer. (It may form empty air bubbles at first, just keep rotating and the batter will fill them in.) You should be able to get 2-3 rotations in. Cook for 1-2 minutes , until the edges are dry, then carefully flip and cook for another minute on the other side.
5. Repeat with the remaining batter.
