Ingredients
• 1 teaspoon Splenda or other granulated sweetener
• 2 tablespoons / 16g coconut flour
• 2 tablespoons / 30ml coconut oil, melted and divided
• 2 large organic eggs
• ½ cup / 120ml heavy cream
• 1 pinch of salt
Instructions
1. Directions
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of the melted coconut oil, the eggs, sweetener, and a pinch of salt until smooth and well combined.
3. Sift the coconut flour into the wet . Whisk continuously to prevent clumps until the flour is fully incorporated. The batter will be slightly thicker than traditional crepe batter.
4. Gently stir in the heavy cream, whisking until the batter is smooth and uniform.
5. Heat a small, non-stick skillet (about 8 inches) over medium-low heat. Add a portion of the remaining coconut oil to lightly grease the pan.
6. Pour approximately half of the batter into the center of the hot pan, immediately swirling the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even circle.
7. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the surface appears set. Carefully flip the crepe with a thin spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
8. Slide the finished crepe onto a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Pro Tips
• Let the batter rest for 5 minutes after mixing. This allows the coconut flour to fully absorb the liquid, resulting in a better texture and easier spreading.
• Keep the heat on medium-low. Coconut flour can burn easily, so a lower, consistent temperature is key to achieving a golden-brown crepe without scorching.
• For a touch of flavor, add ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract or a dash of cinnamon to the batter.
• To meal prep, allow crepes to cool completely. Stack them with a piece of wax or parchment paper between each one, place in a resealable bag, and freeze for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.
FAQ
Q: Can I use almond flour instead of coconut flour for this recipe
A: It is not recommended to substitute almond flour directly. Coconut flour is highly absorbent and unique in texture. Using almond flour would require significant adjustments to the liquid ingredients to get the right batter consistency.
Q: Why is my keto crepe batter thicker than regular crepe batter
A: This is completely normal for a coconut flour-based recipe. Coconut flour absorbs a lot of liquid, resulting in a batter that is slightly thicker than traditional flour-based versions. This helps create a delicate yet flexible crepe.
Q: What are some good keto-friendly fillings for these crepes
A: For a sweet option, fill them with fresh berries, sugar-free whipped cream, or a keto-friendly chocolate spread. For a savory meal, they are delicious with cream cheese and chives, spinach and feta, or bacon and shredded cheddar.
Q: How do I store and reheat leftover crepes
A: Let the crepes cool completely, then stack them with a piece of parchment paper between each one. Store in an airtight container or bag in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a non-stick skillet or in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.
