This paleo-friendly Gluten Free Crepes recipe yields crepes that are lacy and crisp outside, slightly chewy inside, and equally delicious with sweet or savory filling. They're perfect for a special occasion breakfast or holiday brunch!
The first time I had crepes was in French Club during high school. (Yup, I was a total nerd and I loved French Club, lol!) We made them at an after school meeting one day. You know the story, it was love at first bite.
I usually make Julia Child’s crepe recipe. (Because why reinvent the wheel or mess with perfection?) But I was on a mission to come up with a gluten free version, so that’s what I did!
It’s funny how blogging serves as a time-marker for life events.
I made these crepes back in June, about three weeks before heading to Paris for the summer.
I had all things France-related on my mind, and I had a craving for crepes something fierce.
At that time I was packing up my entire apartment, getting ready to put everything in a storage unit in Central Florida and head to Europe for the summer before coming back Stateside and buying a house.
In an attempt to clean out my pantry, the idea to play around with a Gluten Free Crepes recipe seemed like a good one.
I wasn’t anticipating this result. I actually like these just as much as regular crepes!
These are lacy and crisp outside and slightly chewy inside. And they’re equally wonderful with a sweet or savory filling.

Gluten Free Crepes
Ingredients
- ¾ cup tapioca starch
- ½ cup coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons milled golden flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 ¼ cups + 2 tablespoons cold water
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled slightly (see Note)
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 drop liquid stevia
Instructions
- Whisk together the tapioca starch, coconut flour, milled golden flaxseed, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl. Whisk in the water, butter, egg, vinegar, and stevia until well-combined. Let the batter rest 3 minutes (it will thicken a bit).
- Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over just over medium heat.
- Once the skillet is hot, add ¼ cup of batter and pick the skillet up and rotate it to spread the batter out. Cook until light golden on both sides, about 3 to 5 minutes on the first side and 2 to 4 minutes on the second side. Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate. (If you have another similar skillet, you can have 2 going at the same time to speed up the cooking process.)
- Cook the remaining batter the same way (you should get about 8 crepes).
- Serve, or store wrapped in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Helpful Tips
- Net Carbs: 12g per serving (1 crepe)
- Instead of whisking the batter by hand, you can blend it in a blender or food processor if you prefer.
- Paleo Version: Instead of the butter use coconut oil or ghee.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve these with Sugar Free Strawberry Jam; I used blueberries instead of strawberries to make this jam and it was delicious!
