My easy crepe recipe is almost too easy. It’s as simple as tossing a few ingredients into a high speed blender, letting the batter rest for 1 hour. Then, warm up a pan and make these easy crepes in just a few short minutes.
Crepes are French-Style Pancakes
Regardless of what you may have heard about crepes in the past, these delicately delicious French-style pancakes are delicious and versatile. My easy crepe recipe takes less than 20-minutes of hands on time from start to finish.
Interestingly enough, “The history of crepes dates back to 13th century Brittany, France. It seems a housewife there accidentally dribbled some thin porridge onto a hot, flat cooktop. Since people back then weren’t inclined to waste even their smallest cooking mistakes, she ate it.”

Healthy and Easy Crepe Recipe
My easy crepe recipe tastes just like a conventional crepes. But, the nearly every single ingredient is different. So, to make a healthy crepe, we need to remove the refined flour, butter and milk.
Swap out Refined Flour for Whole Grain Gluten Free Flour
Naturally gluten free, we use King Arthur’s cup-for-cup whole grain flour as a replacement to refined flour. Trust me, it tastes exactly the same but with no inflammatory properties.
Replace Butter with Coconut Oil
Not only is using coconut oil healthier, but we’re also using much less. If you’ve not cooked with coconut oil yet, I want to encourage you to make the effort to try soon. Our favorite brands are Barlean’s and Nutiva. Just try it!
Use Water and Hemp Seeds to Replace the Milk
We use raw hemp heart seeds and water in this recipe. However, if you have almond milk on hand, feel free to make the swap. So, not only is the cleaned up version below dairy free and 100% whole grain, it gets an unexpected superfood nutrition boost from hemp seeds.
Easy Crepe Recipe Toppings – Sweet, Savory or Plain
Traditional, a little lemon and sugar were used to fill the sweet French-style pancakes. But we love using a variety of healthy fillings to top our easy crepe recipe.
- Chopped bananas and a dairy free chocolate drizzle
- Nut butter (Try Almond butter or Peanut Butter from Spread the Love)
- Homemade Caramel Sauce and some Banana Ice Cream
- Jams, Preserves or Fresh Berries (Try our homemade Strawberry Sauce)
- Scrambled eggs with a little bit of high-quality organic cheese
- Sauteed vegetables (Try mushrooms, red peppers, onion and garlic)

Make your Easy Crepe Recipe in Advance

Use Medium High Heat and Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is wonderful for cooking at higher temperatures. Plus, they give the crepes a lovely texture when done cooking.
