Enjoy these healthy low carb crepes with sweet or savoury fillings. They are grain free, gluten-free, pliable and made with only 3 ingredients.
Friends, I have tried so many versions of keto crepes I have considered applying for a research grant.
The simplest keto crepe recipe out there is using just two ingredients - eggs and cream cheese. This combination works well, the only thing is that it tastes a bit, well, eggy. I didn't mind it at all, but if you are looking for a traditional crepe experience, you might not feel satisfied.
I then added coconut flour to my eggs and cream cheese mix, which makes a nice crepe, too. I found that this version tastes good if eaten straight away, though it was less pliable, especially when it cooled down.
Adding milk and butter to the recipe made a softer crepe that tasted great and more crepe-y, but was difficult to flip over in the pan.
These 3 ingredient low carb crepes are the result of me using up all my coconut flour for a batch of low carb rolls. I substituted with psyllium husk - and BINGO.
Keto crepes that taste like the real thing!
My children loved them, even my very critical 11 year old daughter. They are very pliable, even once they have cooled down.
Ingredients
Here are the ingredients I used:
- Eggs
- Cream cheese
- Psyllium husk
Psyllium is a soluble fibre made from the husks of the plantago ovata plant seeds. It sorts out your bowels and can lower blood sugar levels as well as cholesterol levels. Research also shows it is good for your heart.
I love to use it as a thickener in low carb cooking (think sauces!!) and baking. For example, I've added it to my low carb pizza recipe and it worked a treat.
Instructions
This section contains step by step instructions and photos that show how to make this recipe. See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
Step 1: Mix all ingredients with a stick blender or in a food processor. Your batter will be very liquid.
Step 2: Heat butter in a large non-stick frying pan or a crepe pan. Pour in the crepe batter and swirl it around until it is evenly distributed.
Step 3: Once the crepe is browned on one side, flip it over...
Step 4: ...and fry the other side. Continue until all batter is used up.
Top tips
You can customise the crepe batter by adding powdered sweetener, vanilla extract or cinnamon. Or, experiment with savoury spices such as onion powder or paprika.
Grease the pan between crepes.
Keto crepes are more fragile than regular crepes because they lack the gluten found in wheat. That's why I've invested in this quality non-stick frying pan. It is a life-saver. NOTHING sticks to it.
Sweet Toppings
We had our crepes with a ricotta/yoghurt mix and my sugar free blueberry jam. Here are more ideas what to top them with:
- Berries - blueberries, strawberries or raspberries
- Whipped cream
- Strawberry jam
- Raspberry jam
- Caramel sauce
- Sugar free Nutella
- Almond butter
Savory Toppings
Low carb crepes also taste great with savoury fillings, such as:
- Cheddar cheese
- Emmental
- Wilted spinach
- Fried mushrooms
- Cooked ham
- Bacon
Fill the crepes, then put them back in the pan with a lid on over a low heat. Wait 2 minutes until the cheese is melted.
FAQ
Regular crepes are not keto friendly, because they contain wheat flour. These 3 ingredient low carb crepes are perfect for a keto diet because they contain only 1.2g net carbs per crepe.
Yes, you can replace the psyllium husk with ½ cup or 50g almond flour.
The benefit of a crepe pan is that it has shallow sides. This makes it easier to flip the crepes. However, a large non-stick frying pan will do the job as well.
Storage
Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container the fridge for up to 5 days.
Freezer: These crepes are great for freezing. I layer parchment paper between them so they don't stick. Freeze for up to 3 months.
Reheating: After defrosting, gently reheat in a frying pan over low heat.

We made these this morning and they were perfect! They didn’t fall apart like so many other low carb crepes I’ve tried and I loved that they were balanced with egg whites and whole eggs so they weren’t SO high calories and were loaded with protein. I also loved that they didn’t have any nut flours as that can add a lot of calories too!
Thank you!

Are these sturdy enough to be used as a wrap?
Katrin Nürnberger
You can use them as a wrap, but they are soft and not like traditional wraps made with wheat. I have a few tortilla recipes that work really well as wraps, such as the coconut flour tortillas or these low carb tortillas. I also have these flaxseed wraps.
