Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
2 eggs
1 tbsp honey
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1¼ cup milk (any kind)
1/2 cup oat flour
1/2 cup almond flour
For cooking:
Vegetable oil for spraying the pan
For serving:
Sugar-free jam
Fresh berries
A drizzle of honey
Directions
-
I whisk together the eggs, honey, vanilla extract, and salt in a medium bowl.
-
I gradually add the milk, alternating with the oat and almond flour, whisking until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
-
I heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and lightly spray it with oil.
-
I pour a small ladle of batter into the center of the pan, tilting it in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly to the edges.
-
I cook the crepe until the bottom turns light golden brown, then gently flip and cook the other side until golden.
-
I repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes on a plate.
-
I serve them warm with sugar-free jam, a drizzle of honey, and fresh berries.
Servings and timing
This recipe makes about 10 crepes.
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Total time: 20 minutes
Variations
Sometimes I leave out the honey to make savory crepes, filling them with sautéed vegetables, cheese, or scrambled eggs. For a dessert version, I like adding a sprinkle of cinnamon to the batter and serving them with chocolate spread or whipped cream. Plant-based milk works just as well for a dairy-free option.
Storage/Reheating
I store leftover crepes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, I warm them in a dry skillet over low heat or in the microwave for a few seconds. I can also freeze them, separating each crepe with parchment paper, for up to 1 month. When ready to use, I thaw them at room temperature or reheat directly from frozen in a skillet.
FAQs
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
Yes, I can prepare the batter the night before and keep it covered in the refrigerator. I just give it a quick whisk before cooking.
Can I use only oat flour or only almond flour?
I can, but the texture will change—oat flour alone makes them more tender, while almond flour alone makes them richer and slightly denser.
How do I keep crepes from sticking to the pan?
I use a good nonstick skillet and make sure to lightly oil it before cooking each crepe.
Can I make them dairy-free?
Yes, I can substitute the milk with almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk.
How thin should I make the crepes?
I aim for a thin, even layer that just covers the bottom of the pan. Too thick, and they’ll be more like pancakes.
Conclusion
I love how these gluten-free almond oat crepes are both healthy and indulgent at the same time. They’re quick to make, versatile, and work beautifully for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. Whether I go sweet or savory, they’re always a hit in my kitchen.
