Gluten-Free Crepes

Crepes used to be one of my favorite comfort foods growing up. We didn’t call them anything fancy—we just made them on the weekends, rolled them up with whatever sweet or savory fillings we had on hand, and devoured them while they were still warm. My favorite ones, especially during the summer, were with strawberries and whipped cream, jam, or even just a dusting of powdered sugar.

But once I stopped eating gluten, that crepe joy came to a screeching halt. For a long time, I figured gluten-free crepes were just one of those things that weren’t going to happen. Every time I tried to recreate them, the batter stuck to the pan, tore in the middle, or ended up like scrambled batter instead of those lovely thin pancakes I remembered.

The turning point? I learned how to treat the batter gently, how long to rest it, and which ingredients actually work together. This version—made with a gluten-free flour blend, goat milk (or your milk of choice), and coconut sugar—is the one I go back to again and again.

As a Nutrition consultant and chef who’s struggling with Hashimoto’s, I’m always looking for ways to make meals both comforting and supportive of health and the thyroid. For many women, especially those in their 30s, 40s, and beyond, reducing gluten intake can help support digestion, reduce inflammation, and stabilize hormones. But I never want “healthy” to mean boring, bland, or complicated.

That’s why I love this gluten-free crepes recipe. It’s quick to whip up, it uses simple ingredients, and it’s incredibly versatile. You can keep the gluten-free crepes sweet with strawberries, or go savory with fillings like sautéed greens and eggs. Either way, it’s a great option for breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner.

Ingredients for Gluten-Free Crepes

  • Gluten-free flour with xanthan gum: (store-bought like Bob’s Red Mill or King Arthur, or a mix with tapioca flour)
  • Goat milk (or any other milk, including plant milk)
  • Eggs
  • Coconut sugar or maple syrup
  • Avocado oil or melted butter
  • Vanilla extract
  • Salt

Ingredient Swaps and Substitutions

  • Can’t find a flour blend? Make your own with a mix of rice flour, potato starch, and tapioca flour. If it doesn’t contain xanthan gum, add ¼ teaspoon to help hold things together.
  • No goat milk? Use any milk of choice—almond, soy, coconut, or even oat.
  • No eggs? A flax egg or egg replacer will do the job (though the crepes may be more delicate).
  • Out of coconut sugar? Maple syrup, white sugar, or a drizzle of honey can sub in.

Did you know?

Crêpes have their own holiday in France.
Every February 2nd, the French celebrate La Chandeleur—also known as Crêpe Day—by making and flipping crepes for good luck. Tradition says if you can flip a crepe in the pan with one hand while holding a coin in the other, prosperity is coming your way. (No pressure, just maybe don’t try it over your dog.)

How to Make Gluten-Free Crepes

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, combine your dry ingredients—flour, sugar, salt.
  • Slowly whisk the dry mix into the wet until the batter is completely smooth. Let it rest at room temperature for 10–15 minutes.
  • Preheat a nonstick pan or crepe pan over medium heat. Add a bit of oil to coat.
  • Pour in about 3/4 cup of batter (depending on teh size of your skillet) and immediately swirl the pan in a circular motion to evenly coat the bottom.
  • Cook for about a minute or two until the edges start to lift and the underside is golden. Flip gently and cook the second side for 30–60 seconds.
  • Remove to a plate and cover with a towel while you cook the remaining batter.

My Favorite Ways to Serve These Crepes

Sweet Options:

  • Strawberries tossed with a little lemon juice and maple syrup
  • Sliced bananas and peanut butter

Savory Options:

  • Sautéed mushrooms with garlic and herbs

How to Store Leftover Crepes

Let them cool completely, then stack with parchment between each and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can reheat them in a pan over low heat or even in the microwave for a few seconds. They also freeze beautifully—just wrap tightly in foil or plastic and defrost overnight.

FAQ Questions

Do I really need to let the batter rest?

Yes! It helps the flour hydrate and gives you a smoother, more pliable crepe.

Why is my crepe tearing?

Try lowering the heat, adding a little more oil to the pan, or checking that your flour has xanthan gum.
