I am so excited to share this recipe gluten-free crepes with you. It is almost incredible how simple it is. All you need is a blender, few basic ingredients and about five minutes to make the batter.
Regular crepes use all-purpose flour containing gluten, but this one without gluten in it also tastes great! They’re spongy, they’re easily made (in a blender!) and go perfectly with various toppings or fillings.

Ingredients Best Gluten Dairy Free Crepes
Flour: I used Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 Baking flour which I highly recommend. In case you decide to choose another type of blend, ensure that it has xanthan gum.
Milk: The best choice would be almond milk but any other kind works too whether it’s non-dairy or dairy type.
Eggs: Two large eggs are needed here for these crepes. Do not use flax eggs or applesauce as egg substitutes if you want the real texture and taste.
Butter: Use melted butter here considering dairy butter, non-dairy butter, refined coconut oil if desired but nothing beats plain old butter!
Sugar & Vanilla: Sugar and vanilla enhance the flavors. I used white sugar but any granulated sugar should work just fine. The crepes will turn out darker when you use coconut sugar. You can also try some refined sugar-free option.
Making Best Gluten Dairy Free Crepes
Blend the Ingredients: Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor. The blending is necessary so that clumps are prevented since the batter is thin.
Heat the Pan: Heat your non-stick pan with a little oil over medium/low heat.
Cook the Crepes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the pan. Spread it uniformly by using the back of a spoon or tilting the pan sideways. Leave for about one minute up to when bubbles rise on top, then flip and cook for another thirty seconds. Don’t burn them much; they need to be soft.
Finish and Serve:Â Place cooked crepes on a cooling rack while waiting for others to finish cooking. They can be served rolled up or folded in quarters with an optional addition of strawberry jam before folding/rolling.
Serving and Filling Suggestions
Berries & Whipped Cream: My favorite! Also, try using coconut whipped cream, strawberry jam and drizzle some chocolate sauce over it.
Banana & Nutella:Â Fresh banana and Nutella are always a great combination that goes well with these best gluten dairy free crepes.
Savory:Â Skip sugar or reduce it and serve with egg, avocado, parsley, cilantro and red pepper flakes.
Maple Syrup: Just a few drops of fresh maple syrup and pinch of cinnamon.

minutesIngredients
1 cup gluten free all purpose flour
1 ¼ cups milk dairy or non-dairy
2 eggs
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons melted butter dairy or non-dairy
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
- Put all ingredients in a blender or food processor. But if you just whisk it up as the batter is thin, it can become clumpy so I opt to blend.
- Blend until the mixture is smooth.
- Heat non-stick pan with oil over medium/low heat.
- Add ¼ cup of batter to the pan. Use a spoon’s back or turn the pan itself in circular motions for even spreading of batter.
- Cook for about 1 minute or until bubbles appear on top, then flip, and cook for another 30 seconds. Avoid frying too much because it will make crepes tough.
- While you prepare the remaining dough put the cooked pancakes on a wire rack.
- Roll them up into tubes or fold them into triangles. Optionally, before rolling or folding, put strawberry jam in the middle of your rolled pancake.
- Serve berries and bananas with nutella, whipped cream maple syrup etc.
