Why You’ll Love These Gluten-Free Crepes ❤️

• Easy blender batter – Everything goes straight into the blender for a smooth, lump-free mix.
• Make-ahead friendly – The batter can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days; cooked crepes keep 3–4 days.
• Versatile – Works for both sweet and savory toppings.
• Tender and flexible – Thin crepes that fold or roll without tearing.
• Quick to cook – Perfect for breakfasts, brunches, or a simple dessert.

Why These Gluten-Free Crepes Work 🥞

Crepes can be tricky; too often they turn out either brittle or rubbery, or are difficult to flip. This recipe avoids those issues with a well-balanced batter and a short resting time, which allows the flours to fully hydrate before cooking.

The result is crepes that spread easily in the pan, cook evenly, and stay flexible enough to fold or roll without tearing. No gums or complicated techniques required!

Ingredients for Gluten-Free Crepes & Citrus Compote 🍋

For the Crêpes

• Eggs – 4 large eggs provide structure and help the crepes hold together.
• Milk – Light coconut milk keeps the crepes dairy-free, though regular milk works as well.
• Flour – Arrowroot starch and coconut flour create tender, pliable crepes.
• Oil – Coconut oil keeps the recipe dairy-free or use the neutral oil of your choice.

The batter should be thin and pourable so it spreads easily across the pan.

For the Citrus Compote (Optional)

• Citrus fruit – Tangerines, oranges, or your favorite citrus, with zest.
• Honey – Orange blossom honey is ideal but any mild honey works.
• Orange blossom water (optional) – Adds a subtle floral note if desired.

How to Make Gluten-Free Crepes 🍳

Make the Citrus Compote (Optional)

Place citrus slices in a shallow dish and gently toss with zest, honey, and orange blossom water if using. Set aside while preparing the crepes, or cover and refrigerate until ready.
The compote can be prepared the night before.

Make the Blender Batter

Place all of the crepe ingredients into a blender and blend on high until completely smooth. Let the batter sit for a few minutes before cooking, or cover and refrigerate until needed.
(The crepe batter can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.)

Cook the Crepes

Lightly brush a skillet or crepe pan with oil and heat over medium-low heat. Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the pan, immediately tilting and swirling to coat the bottom evenly.

Cook until the crepe appears set on top, about 1–2 minutes. Run a spatula around the edge to loosen, then lift a corner to check that the underside is firm and lightly golden.

Flip the crepe and cook for about 1 minute more, until the second side is just set. Transfer to a plate and cover loosely to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter, brushing the pan lightly with more butter or oil as needed.

The crepes can also be cooked ahead of time and stored in an airtight container for 3–4 days, ready to reheat gently before serving. Serve warm, topped with citrus compote and an extra drizzle of honey if desired.
