Keto Crepes
I decided to showcase one of Martina’s recipes that I thought would be the most versatile and useful for a family. Wraps are such a staple for so many lunches, so these keto crepes are a lovely alternative. They are sturdy yet soft and delicate.
Use them as a tortilla wrap with chilli, cheese and sour cream, or how about adapting the recipe to a sweet version and making chocolate crepes using my sugar free chocolate spread?
Keto Crepes
Keto crepes can be made sweet or savoury. Imagine these with sugar-free chocolate spread over them? Ah-mazing!!! Or add cheese, ham and avocado for lunch.
Ingredients
- 2 egg yolks
- 8 large egg whites
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 1 tbsp psyllium husk or ground chia seeds
- 90 ml coconut milk cream or almond milk
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cream of tartar
- 2 tbsp ghee or coconut oil
- 2 tsp garlic powder omit if making a sweet keto crepe and add sweetener to taste instead
- salt to taste
Instructions
-
Separate the egg whites and from the egg yolks. You will only need 2 egg yolks and 8 egg whites, as the crepes hold better together when more egg whites are used. Reserve the remaining egg yolks for another recipe.
-
Place the whole eggs and egg whites, coconut flour, psyllium husk or chia seeds, coconut milk, baking soda and cream of tartar in a bowl and mix well.
-
Add the garlic powder (or sweetener if making sweet keto crepes) and whisk well.
-
Allow the batter to sit for 5-10 minutes so the coconut flour and psyllium have time to swell and absorb the moisture. Whisk again.
-
Heat a nonstick pan evenly with the ghee or coconut oil. Move the pan while pouring in the batter to ensure the batter covers the bottom of the pan in a thin layer. The batter should be runny so it will spread easily. If it is too thick, you may add 1 tablespoon of water to the mixture.
-
Make the crepes one by one, greasing the pan in between to ensure the keto crepes don't stick.
-
Depending on the size, you can make 2 large or 4 medium crepes per serving.
-
Once cool, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Amazing wonderful recipes! Ingenious replacement with Keto friendly ingredients! Would love to win the free cookbook!!
Jane says
I just made these. The garlic is too strong for me so I’m going to try them without. I also had trouble getting them thin enough. Next time I’ll thin the batter, cook them longer on lower heat.
jackie says
Can I use cow’s milk for the coconut milk?
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
That may work, but coconut milk is much higher in fat, generally about 25%.
Denise says
Wondering if oat fiber could work instead of psyllium?
patricia says
can i substitute the psyllium husk with xantham gum? or anything else. Having a difficult time finding psyllium husk.
thanks.
jody says
vitamin shoppe carries it in the store fwiw. 🙂
Shannon says
I finally found it in my grocery store pharmacy by the laxatives! It’s the same thing as Metamucil, just make sure it’s plain, not orange flavored.
BlkGrlMgc says
Ok I made these last night. And they taste good, but they taste more like a fancy fried egg. I used ground chia seeds and half & half for the “milk” product. I do like them though, I’m going to try them again but with the actual psyllium husk powder and see if they turn out more tortilla like.
Stacy Yeager says
If you’re going sweet on them like I did,you can make homemade whipped cream w/your favorite powdered sweetener and a dash of cinnamon, they enhance the flavor! Dab it with just an 1/8 of tsp of Polaner All Fruit and you just entered keto Crepe heaven!
djnikkik says
Is the taste of coconut supposed to come through with these? Mine tasted a bit coconut-ty which is fine for me if served as a crepe, but I was using them for your low carb burritos and the coconut flavour didn’t go so well with the flavours of the mince mixture.
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
There might be mild coconut taste, but the spiced mince/ground beef would overpower it for burritos. Add plenty of cheese, salsa and avocado for a real tasty meal.
BlkGrlMgc says
I made them last night, I don’t taste coconut at all, they just taste like an egg to me.
Lori says
I wonder if adding cumin, curry and/or chili powder (if using for burritos) would mask the coconut…
yakaterina Polese says
Any chance I can make it with almond flour without it causing issues?
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
I’m not sure about that. It may not hold together as well. If you do try, please come back and let us know how it works out. I love hearing how readers adapt my recipes.
alison says
I used 4 eggs, some 18% cream and a handful of almond flour in olive oil. Held together great. Tasted like eggs and didn’t have a lot of flavour. Could work with some tweaking.
Bronwyn says
Hello! Perhaps I missed this somewhere, but how many does this make? Or how many grams is one serving?
Claire Cadogan says
These look wonderful – but any ideas as to what to do with the 6 spare yolks? That’s a lot of egg to throw away. I’d love some inspiration!
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
Easy peasy, lemon curd!!!! I love this stuff and it is simply amazing.
Anne says
Keto chocolate ice cream from my keto kitchen.
Mimi says
You can also buy cartons of just egg whites so you don’t have to find immediate use for extra yolks. However, yolks can also be frozen, blended with a bit of either sweetener or salt, depending whether you plan to use them in a sweet or savoury dish later.
Terrie says
Hollandaise sauce!
Ying says
Hello. Just to check, 5.5g carb = net or total?
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
All my carb values are total.
Mari says
Is one large or two small pancakes one serving or is it 2 large/4 small?
Dave Robb says
Could I substitute coconut oil for a regular oil? Or ghee for butter? What is ghee?
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
Ghee is clarified butter and is pretty much interchangeable with regular butter. You could use coconut oil, you may just want some extra flavouring or salt as coconut oil is such a tasteless and neutral fat.
susancharlip says
I’m confused by the egg instructions: you say, separate 8whites/2 yolks, but in #2 you say to place “the whole eggs” and the egg whites, but there are no whole eggs listed in the ingredients, only separated yolks and whites. Can you clarify? I really want to try this. Sounds perfect. Thanks!
PJW says
My reading of this is that because you’re not doing anything separately to the egg whites (like whisking them until fluffy) and it is all being mixed together, you don’t need to separate the two whole eggs, just the six eggs from which you only need the whites. Another way to list the ingredients would be 2 whole eggs and 6 egg whites, rather than 2 yolks and 8 whites.
Leah says
I was having a lot of trouble flipping these so I cooked each crepe on one side until it set then put the crepe pan under the grill. It worked really well and they came out really thin but sturdy. Awesome recipe 🙂
Dee says
I’m allergic to all tree nuts… Is there a replacement for coconut flour and almond milk
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
You could look at my keto waffles which are nut free. They can be made in a waffle maker, frying pan or even a panini press. They contain coconut flour if you can tolerate coconut (which is a drupe not a nut). That may be a good option for you?
Sally says
Can they be frozen, if separated by wax paper?
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
I’m sure that would work well, as long as it is in an airtight container.
Terri says
Great book great app great website. Free meal plans
Heather Williamson says
I made these last night for dinner and they were ANAZING! I don’t need flour tortillas in my life anymore! These were so yummy and so easy to make! I’ll be making these ALL the time now!
Sarah Bennett says
Hi, do you think I could use powdered egg whites in place of fresh egg whites?
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
Sorry I don’t know as I have never used, or would recommend, powdered egg whites, go for fresh and really notice the difference 🙂
Elicia says
In the ingredients list it says 2 eggs and 6 egg whites but in the instructions it says 8???
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
The recipe implies that you use 8 egg whites (6 whites as per recipe plus the 2 egg whites from the whole eggs). I have now written it to state 8 egg whites and 2 egg yolks. I hope that is clearer.
Rbk says
Hi !
Living in France, I’d love to try this but cream of tartar is super hard to find. What could it be replaced with ?
Thanks !
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
You could try replacing the baking soda AND the cream of tartar with 1 tsp baking powder.
Eliz~ says
I bought this book- cannot recommend it highly enough!
Terri says
I just noticed the Amazon links and how they coincide with your recipes! Too cool!
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
I am the low carb ninja, that’s why 😉
Marie Doe says
You certainly are! 😊
