    Growing up, my mom made crepes all the time. It wasn't just reserved for special occasions; it was a very common food on our kitchen table.

    Crepes in a Slavic home are like pancakes to an American family. And in France, crepes are often sold as street food at creperies or food markets.

    One of the best things about French crepes are their thin and delicate texture. Unlike pancakes, which are thick and fluffy, French crepes are paper-thin, making them perfect for wrapping around sweet or savory fillings.

    And if you're gluten free, you don't have to let gluten hold you back from experiencing the joy of this culinary delight. Crepes made with cassava flour instead of wheat flour ensure that you can still stick to gluten-free while maintaining that wonderful texture and taste enjoyed worldwide.

    What are you waiting for? Make this French crepes recipe and follow my tips and tricks for the ultimate la creperie experience.

    Why you'll love this recipe

    One gluten free flour - Most gluten-free crepe recipes call for numerous gluten-free flours or a gluten free flour blend containing xanthan gum. This recipe has just one, making it an easy option.

    Convenient blender crepe recipe - The batter is quickly and effortlessly whisked in a blender until it's perfectly smooth. No straining through a sieve is necessary for a uniform and rich batter.

    Perfect crepe texture - Thanks to a combination of 5 simple but wholesome ingredients, these crepes feature that beloved thin French pancake texture and rich flavor. You'll be surprised how similar they taste to wheat crepes.

    💭Fun Fact: French crepes, originating in Brittany, France, have become an iconic dish and a symbol of French culinary artistry. Crepes are thin French pancakes that are now enjoyed worldwide as a street food, in creperies, and homes. 

    Ingredients

    Learn how to make gluten free crepes with 5 basic ingredients. If you've been part of the gluten-free world, you likely have all the ingredients for this blender crepe recipe.

    labeled ingredients for gluten free crepes: cassava flour, salt, milk, honey, eggs, and butter.
    • Cassava flour: This is a gluten-free flour made from cassava root. It is used as a substitute for wheat flour in this recipe, making it suitable for those following a gluten-free diet.
    • Milk: Thins the crepe batter and adds richness and creaminess to the recipe. Use whole milk for tastier crepes. Use your favorite dairy-free milk to keep this compliant with your dietary needs.
    • Eggs: Act as a binding agent and provide structure to the crepes. Use room temperature eggs to incorporate effortlessly into the batter.
    • Honey: Adds subtle sweetness, balancing the other delicate texture of the crepes and the richness of the milk.
    • Butter: A few tablespoons unsalted butter is all you need to add major flavor to the batter and help create a tender texture. You'll also need extra butter for greasing the pan between each crepe. Coconut oil or ghee is an excellent dairy-free alternative.

    See the recipe card for exact quantities.

    What is Cassava Flour?

    Cassava flour and tapioca are often used interchangeably, but they are different.  Tapioca is the starch derived from cassava root through a process of washing and pulping, and what's left following that process is the tapioca flour.

    Cassava flour, on the other hand, is the whole root, peeled, dried, and ground.

    For this reason, cassava flour naturally has more dietary fiber than tapioca flour. An important caveat to cassava flour is that it also happens to be high in carbohydrates.  So even though these cassava flour crepes are gluten-free, they are far from keto or low-carb.

    Additionally, cassava flour is high in resistant starch, which may have powerful health benefits. Resistant starch improves insulin sensitivity, lowers blood sugar levels, reduces appetite, and has various benefits for digestion. (source) 

    My favorite brand of cassava flour is Ottos's 100% Natural Cassava Flour. They take great care to ensure their product is free from mold, a widespread occurrence in cassava flours. They are also autoimmune protocol (AIP) friendly and Certified Paleo by The Paleo Foundation.

    But what makes cassava flour stand out is that it has the ability to transform any recipe gluten free with a 1:1 switch.

    If you're looking for paleo crepes with cassava flour, you will love these dairy free crepes. And this gluten free crepe cake is a wonderful holiday addition to any table.

    Make it Nutrient Dense

    Staying true to the heart of what Prepare and Nourish is all about, there are ways to ensure you get the maximum nutrition in this recipe. And like in my gluten free rice crispy treats, you can take purposeful steps to turn this into a nutrient-dense snack or light breakfast.

    Use quality ingredients. Use non-homogenized milk or even raw milk, as it would still retain nutrients and benefits. Opt for grass-fed butter and pastured eggs.

    Serve with powerhouse foods. One of my favorite ways to enjoy crepes growing up was with salmon roe. Slather loads of pastured butter on the crepe and top with incredibly nourishing roe or canned cod liver for a nutrient-dense snack.

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    The complete printable recipe is below in the recipe card for your convenience.

    The recipe for gluten free crepes can seem intimidating. Follow this step-by-step tutorial along with all the tips and tricks, and you can't go wrong!

    all ingredients in a high-speed blender for gluten free crepes.

    Step 1. Blend

    Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend until frothy and thoroughly combined.

    Step 2. Rest

    Set the crepe batter aside for a few minutes to rest and let the bubbles settle.

    💭Pro tip: To help faciliate proper blending, add the ingredients in this order: milk, eggs, butter, honey, flour, and salt.

    Step 3. Cook

    While the batter is resting, heat a few teaspoons of butter in a stainless steel pan over medium heat. Swirl to cover the entire bottom of the pan with the butter.

    Pour about a quarter cup batter onto the pan. Lift the pan off the heat and swirl it so the batter coats the bottom evenly.

    Return the pan to the heat and cook on medium-low heat until the bottom is golden brown.

    💭How do I know when to flip the crepe? You will start seeing bubbles form on the top surface of the crepe and see the edges lifting from the pan. Using a thin spatula, carefully lift one edge about ¼ way and see if it's golden brown. If it's cooked, it will release from the pan easily. If not, continue to cook for a few more seconds.

    Step 4. Flip

    Carefully flip the crepe and cook the other side until golden brown.

    Step 5. Remove

    Slide the crepe over to a plate or use a a wide spatula to transfer the crepe from the pan to a plate or platter.

    💭Pro tip: Add butter to the hot pan between cooking the crepes to prevent sticking. Fat also helps to develop a delicate and rich crepe texture. 

    Helpful Tips

    Practice makes perfect - Don't be discouraged if the first few crepes don't turn out perfectly. In fact, it is customary and totally appropriate for the cook to eat the first few.

    Preheat the pan - A properly heated pan ensures that the crepes cook evenly and quickly. Preheat the pan first on medium heat then melt the butter.

    Measure with a measuring cup - Use a ¼-cup measuring to deliver just the right amount of batter.

    Use a crepe spreader - Though not necessary, this tool will help you easily distribute the batter in the pan to achieve thin and uniform crepes.

    Watch the crepes closely - Be attentive while cooking the crepes as they cook quickly. Avoid leaving the pan unattended to prevent burning.

    Stir the batter often - Be sure to stir often as flour settles on the bottom, changing the consistency of it. You may need to add a few tablespoons of milk to thin it out as you get low on the batter.

    Serving Suggestions

    When it comes to serving crepes, the possibilities are endless. Start the day with a fancy gluten free breakfast featuring these crepes made with cassava flour.

    We love serving them with homemade sour cream or creme fraiche. Or, if you want to be fancy and take them to a new level, serve crepes with butter and salmon roe.

    For sweet options, you can fill them with cream cheese and fruit and a dollop of whipped cream. Or make this cottage cheese dessert with crepe rolls. Or drizzle some sweetened condensed milk or chocolate syrup. I prefer making savory crepes and filling them with creamed spinach or browned ground beef with onions. You can also pair them with beef liver pate.

    Get creative and serve with your favorite fillings for a flavorful treat fit for any occasion.

    Storage containers: These glass snap containers are perfect for leftover gluten free crepes.

    Can you freeze crepes?

    Yes, crepes freeze well for a future treat.

    To freeze: Stack crepes with parchment paper between each layer and store them in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight at room temperature or in the fridge.

    FAQs

    Are crepes gluten free?

    Most crepes are not gluten free but this recipe is! If you use the right kind of flour, like cassava flour, you're good to go. By making this simple switch, you can enjoy delicious and safe-to-eat gluten free crepes.

    How do I flip a crepe without breaking it?

    Learn how to flip a crepe in 3 easy steps: First, ensure the bottom of the crepe is cooked before attempting to flip. Use a thin, flat spatula, like a fish or crepe spatula, to gently slide it under the crepe. Lastly, lift and flip the crepe swiftly but carefully to avoid tearing, and cook the other side briefly until done.

    What is the best crepe pan?

    You might think the key to making the best crepes is in the pan itself. But I'm happy to say you can make the best crepes in a regular stainless steel pan. There is no need to go out to buy a pan that serves only one purpose! You can use an 8-inch, 10-inch, or 12-inch tri-ply stainless steel pan. Just remember, the larger the pan, the bigger your crepe will be, which may make it harder to flip.

    Save your cast iron skillet for another recipe - they won't work here.

    What's the best way to fold a crepe?

    Wondering how to fold a crepe? Well, there is no wrong way to do it but here are some ideas. Lay the crepe flat on a clean surface and fold the crepe in half for half-moon folds. Or do a triangle fold and fold the half-moon crepe one more time in half. Lastly, you can simply roll the crepe up tightly, creating a cylinder shape.

      Do you know if this would work with almond milk or coconut milk?

      Technically the Whole30 rules don't allow recreating treats with whole foods, but I've been thinking about letting myself have one treat with Whole30 compliant ingredients per week. French crepes would totally fit!

        That's on my list to do to make these completely dairy free. I'm thinking either of those should work well for this recipe. And be sure to use either ghee or coconut oil for frying them. Let me know how they turn out. 🙂

        I've made other crepes successfully with canned coconut milk. I would not recommend almond milk, as it doesn't have enough fat to give proper bulk to the batter.

        I just used almond milk and they came out amazing! I did the first half as the recipe called, and for the second half of batter, I added vanilla and cinnamon. The first for savory & the latter for sweet. They were both amazing, and loved going to my friend’s 4th of July red, white and blue crepe party and being able to eat crepes. Thank you!!

        Using 2 cups gives you a very runny batter which is what you need for crepes. You can get away with using less milk but I'm assuming the crepes will be a bit on the thicker side, which there's nothing wrong with that. 🙂 Glad your family enjoyed the recipe, Liz.

        No and I don't recommend it. Coconut flour absorbs a ton of liquid, the texture and composition of coconut flour is vastly different from cassava flour.

      I am on the SC (Specific Carb0 diet and Cassava isn't rated and "Tapioca" is Illegal. Crohn's patient so I am being very careful. Anyone know if a combo of almond/coconut flour would work?

        Hi Cindy,
        I understand the need to be super careful. Almond and coconut flour has a completely different composition and will not work in this recipe. Have you seen Against All Grain's tortillas/crepes with almond flour? (link: http://againstallgrain.com/2013/01/26/crepes-grainfree-paleo/)

      Hey there

      So yesterday I tried this recipe. But I´m a bit cofused. Well first of all it´s awesum!! Yesterday we had them with veggies stuffed in them and today I had a sweet one with apples...yum!!!

      But how do u get 24 out of this recipe....Well I only used one cup of water since I ddnt have any nut milk and I was too lazy to make sum. But the dough was really runny already. So I decided to only add one cup...But all in all it only made 7 crepes....yeah so what did I do wrong?

      And do u use a food processor for beating the eggs or do u use a hand hold blender??

      Hope u can help me. And tanks for the recipe.

        Hi Laura,
        Glad you liked the recipe. I use my stand up mixer, but you can throw everything in the blender and give it a whirl. As far as the number of crepes goes, this recipe *should* make a lot of crepes. Crepe batter needs to be runny to achieve that thin texture but I haven't tried these crepes with water though. That would probably change the consistency and texture of the batter and crepes. Try adding a cup of nut milk next time to your cup of water. Looks like you didn't have enough liquid in the batter in relation to eggs and flour. Hope this helps and thanks Laura for the feedback. 🙂

      Hi,
      I can't wait to try your creeps. I was looking for a recipe for a topping like cream cheese and fruit. To go with these creeps. I just ordered my cassava flour it should be here today or Wed.
      Thank you for any help with toppings you can give me.
      Blessings

        Hi Patti. You can try sweet toppings like cream cheese with a bit of maple syrup and fresh fruit. Or cook down a cup of berries (frozen is fine) with a tablespoon of lemon juice, 1/4 cup of water to make a quick fruit syrup. For savory fillings, I've added any hard cheese and fresh spinach, fold the crepe in half and quickly warm up on a skillet over low heat. Just enough for the cheese to melt and the spinach to slightly wilt. You can also add some ham for more sustenance. The options are endless! Let me know what you decided to go with. Thanks for your comment.

      Like you, I grew up eating crepes ALL THE TIME! Then I found out I have gluten sensitivity and my husband is allergic to nuts...most of them. I tried chickpea, buckwheat and store bought gf flours but THIS IS A WINNER!
      I just made the crepes today and ate them all, they are the closest thing, if not even better, than what I grew up eating. Thank you thank you thank you!

      Hi Anya,
      I have used your recipe today. Because I needed a dairy free and gluten free crepe that wasn't gummy or fell apart this is what I have done with good results. Thought I share with others who are looking in that category. You recipe as written, sub milk for 1cup almond milk and 1cup water, use olive oil instead of butter, add 1/4 cup white rice flour and 1/4 cup sorghum flour. Add liquid to egg first, then add dry ingredients. It prevents lumps from forming.

        Thanks for sharing your substitutions! Just remember, rice flour and sorghum flour no longer makes these crepes grain-free.

      I made these dairy free. Used one cup coconut milk, and one cup almond milk to substitute for the milk. Also, replaced the butter with Trader joe’s Coconut oil (the triple filtered, no flavor one). I also didn’t have any honey on hand so I used maple syrup. Turned out delicious, tastes just like the real thing! Thank you so much for sharing.

      Love this recipe, thank you! I found that letting the batter sit for 20 mins or so helps to thicken the batter so that the first couple don’t fall apart. We aren’t gluten free, but I do like switching up the flour we use every once and a while. Kids barely noticed the difference. Thank you!

      Really good crêpes and easy to make. Thank you for the recipe. The first time I made them, I followed the exact recipe except I cut it in half. The second time I made them, I also cut the recipe in half, used granulated sugar instead of honey, kept the three eggs and added 1/4 cup of unflavored protein powder. They turned out really good and a little less sticky.

      I made these today. Followed the recipe, except I added all the milk at once and used dairy free butter and almond milk and large eggs. I have made gluten crepes TONS of times. These did not turn out well at all. They were under done even when I cooked them to a crisp! I only used 1/4 cup batter per crepe and used a medium fry pan. I even added a little extra flour to see if that would help after the first couple ones, but it didn’t. They do not have the eggy taste that I love in regular crepes. They also were very fragile when flipping even when they were very brown. Also, it was too much salt. That was a dominant flavor in my opinion. I was so hopeful!

        Hi Amanda,
        I'm sorry these didn't turn out for you. Crepes in general are pretty fragile, especially when flipping. Make sure the pan is hot when you add the batter and also that you use medium high heat. I hope you give these another try and I'd love to help you troubleshoot more if needed. 🙂

      I made this recipe with some modifications. I used the 1 cup of almond milk with the 3/4 cup of cassava flour, as well as the honey,eggs and salt. The batter was far too runny without adding the second cup of almond milk so I added another 1/4 cup of cassava flour.
      Here is what worked for me:
      3 medium eggs at room temperature
      4 TBSP Earth Balance vegan baking sticks("Butter")
      1 tsp honey
      pinch of fine sea salt
      1 cup Cassava flour
      1 cup almond milk

        Hi Shawna, no almond flour won't work because it absorbs too much liquid. You'd need a different ratio of liquid to flour if you were to use almond flour.
