Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a blender, combine the eggs, almond flour, cream cheese, coconut flour, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Blend on high until the batter is smooth and well combined. Let the batter sit for a couple of minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb some moisture.
- Heat the Pan:
- Melt butter in a nonstick skillet or pancake pan over medium heat. Butter or frying spray should be used to lightly coat the pan.
- Cook the Crepes:
- Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the centre of the pan once it is heated.
- Immediately lift the pan off the heat and swirl it gently to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer.
- Cook and Flip:
- Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes or until the edges start to lift slightly and the bottom is golden brown.
- Flip the pancake carefully with a spatula and cook for a further 1-2 minutes on the other side.
- Repeat:
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the pan lightly before each crepe.
- Serve:
- Once cooked, remove the crepes from the pan and fill them with your choice of keto-friendly fillings. Some options include whipped cream, berries, sugar-free chocolate spread, or cream cheese.
Nutrition Tips:
- Almond flour and coconut flour are low-carb alternatives to regular flour, making these crepes suitable for a keto diet.
- The cream cheese in the batter adds a tangy flavor and helps create a soft texture.
- Be mindful of the cooking temperature. Cooking the crepes over medium heat prevents them from browning too quickly and ensures they cook through.
- To reduce the net carb count further, consider using sugar-free alternatives for sweetening or filling.
Final Thoughts:
These keto crepes are a delicious option for a low-carb breakfast or dessert. With their minimal net carb content and satisfying texture, they can be enjoyed by those following a ketogenic lifestyle. Customize your fillings and toppings to suit your taste preferences while staying within your daily carb limit. Whether you’re new to keto or a seasoned pro, these crepes are sure to become a favorite in your recipe repertoire.
