With only three ingredients, these coconut flour crepes are simple to make. Gluten—and dairy-free, they’re great for a sweet yet filling breakfast.
A month back, a friend gifted me a bag of coconut flour. I wasn’t quite sure how to use it, so I went back to my childhood staple of pancakes. With a bit of experimentation, I came up with these delicious coconut flour crepes.
They come out a bit thicker than classic crepes but are still great with fillings. The coconut flavor is so unique.
If you’re like me, you probably enjoy eating similar things every day but appreciate variety. These coconut milk crepes provide a wonderful variation.
Often, I’ll eat several for breakfast, using a different spread on each – peanut butter, maple syrup, or honey to name a few. I’ll even add a few berries.

Advantages of using coconut flour to make crepes
Coconut flour is gluten-free and high in fiber and protein. WebMD suggests its low glycemic index makes it ideal for people trying to control blood sugar spikes.
Tips for making coconut crepes
- The coconut flour tends to clump in the bowl/pan, so make sure you pop all of the little clumps when you see them.
- The batter tends to make 4 crepes in total – sometimes I eat them all by myself, and other times, I share them with one other person. It depends on how hungry you are.
Other options for crepes / pancakes include our gluten and dairy-free banana pancakes, grain-free pancakes, or our butternut squash pancakes.
