Why can I say this is the best recipe for keto crepes? I tried five different ways including a recipe from another respected keto blogger. No shade on their great recipes, but I was looking for something just a little easier, as my crepes were falling apart. I started to experiment and discovered my fifth and final keto crepes batch to be THE batch.
Why Is this the Best Recipe for Keto Crepes
- Easy to make the batter.
- Easy to make thin enough without falling apart.
- 1 to 2 Net Carbs Per Crepe
Most of the keto crepes recipes from the top keto bloggers taste great and work, but are just a little harder to put together and a little more challenging to make, at least for me. Those recipes usually use cream cheese (a great ingredient for various keto recipes), but I discovered using sour cream instead of cream cheese kept the batter at the desired consistency.
Cream cheese does have a stabilizer like guar gum that helps the crepes stay intact. Thus, I added a little bit of xanthan gum. I looked to traditional French crepe recipes to see what I needed to accomplish. These traditional recipes use eggs, milk, and butter in various ratios, but thin enough to make the very thin crepe.
Ingredients for the Best Keto Crepe Recipe
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- dash salt
- 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
- Patience (each crepe takes about 4-5 minutes).
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- avocado spray for crepe pan
- 2 tablespoons keto sweetener of choice (monk fruit, erythrtritol) (skip if savory)
Tips for Cooking Keto Crepes
- Use a crepe pan or non-stick pan.
- Use a blender to mix.
- Use a baking spray or oil, but just enough to glisten pan. I wiped off most with paper towel.
- Heat pan. Use 1/4 cup, but first lift pan off the stove before adding batter and swirl around. then put on medium low heat and have patience. Once the edges are browned, you can lift up and turn over. You only need to cook the other side for about ten seconds or less.
- You can keep in refrigerator covered for 3-4 days and just reheat to eat.
