Ingredients for the Crepes:
- 1/2 cup almond flour (blanched)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other low-carb milk alternative)
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder (optional for fluffier crepes)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for sweet crepes)
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon butter or coconut oil (for cooking)
For Sweet Filling (optional):
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol or another keto-friendly sweetener
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh berries (optional, for topping)
For Savory Filling (optional):
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (e.g., chives, parsley)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sliced deli meats or veggies (e.g., smoked salmon, cucumber, or spinach)
Instructions:
1. Make the Crepes:
- In a bowl, whisk together the almond flour, eggs, almond milk, baking powder, vanilla extract (if using for sweet crepes), and a pinch of salt until smooth.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little butter or coconut oil to coat the pan.
- Pour about 2 tablespoons of the batter into the pan, swirling it to spread the batter evenly across the surface.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Remove the crepe from the pan and place it on a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter to make more crepes.
2. Prepare the Fillings:
- Sweet Filling: In a small bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. You can also fold in some fresh berries if you’d like.
- Savory Filling: In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, sour cream, chopped herbs, and season with salt and pepper. Add sliced deli meats or veggies of choice.
3. Assemble the Crepe Rolls:
- Spread a thin layer of the sweet or savory filling evenly over the surface of each crepe.
- Roll up the crepes gently, folding the sides in as you roll to keep the filling in place.
- Slice into smaller rolls or serve whole.
4. Serve:
- For sweet crepes, garnish with additional berries or a drizzle of sugar-free syrup if desired.
- For savory crepes, garnish with extra fresh herbs or enjoy them as-is.
Tips:
- If you prefer your crepes to be thinner, simply add a little more almond milk to the batter.
- You can make a batch of these and store them in the refrigerator for a few days. Simply reheat them in a pan with a little butter or in the microwave.
- For a different twist, try adding some cinnamon or cocoa powder to the batter for flavored sweet crepes.
