Easy Oat Flour Crepes Recipe (Gluten Free)

Lately, I’ve been trying to find simple ways to bring a little more joy to my day. And I can’t think of a better (or more delicious) way to do that than by enjoying these amazing oat flour crepes.

Crepes, no matter what fillings you choose to put inside them (even just a pat of butter), make every meal or snack feel like a special occasion. 

Our trip to France last year was the beginning of my obsession with crepes. Stopping for a cup of coffee and a warm crepe drizzled with melted butter and sprinkled with sugar and a touch of freshly-squeezed lemon juice became our favorite daily ritual.

When we got back home, I started making and freezing batches of these crepes so I could keep those wonderful feelings going!

Even though crepes made with oat flour might sound a bit unusual, I think you’ll discover that oat flour crepes taste even better than regular crepes.

Plus, this gluten-free crepes recipe uses simple ingredients and is surprisingly easy to make.  Once you get your wrist loosened up and are in the groove, making crepes is actually a lot of fun!

Once you’ve made your batch of crepes, you can pop them in the fridge or freezer and have them on hand to use any time as an instant breakfast, a satisfying lunch or dinner, or an elegant snack or dessert.

Simply reheat them for a few minutes in a skillet or for a few seconds in the microwave.  I recommend making double or triple batches of crepes so you’ll always have plenty on hand.

Compared with traditional crepes, oat flour crepes are extra light and fluffy. And to make this a true gluten free crepe recipe, I use certified gluten free oat flour. However, if you don’t have oat flour on hand, and are fine with gluten, regular oat flour — or even all-purpose flour — will work just fine.

The first time you make this delicious recipe, your first crepe or two might not look great, but keep going, and soon you’ll be turning out perfect crepes!

Sweet and Savory Crepe Filling Ideas

The possibilities for sweet or savory fillings for these wonderful oat crepes are endless:

  • For breakfast, you could fill them with eggs and cheese, peanut butter, almond butter, chocolate hazelnut spread, jelly, fruit, etc.
  • For lunch or dinner savory crepes, try filling them with crumbled feta cheese (or cream cheese), sliced avocado, and thinly-sliced ham or turkey.
  • As for dessert crepes, you can really go all out! One of my favorite fillings for sweet crepes is melted dark chocolate, sliced strawberries, mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, and coconut, topped with whipped cream or ice cream.

Add a cup of coffee or tea, and you’ll see what I mean about crepes = joy!

Oat Flour Crepes Recipe (with easy gluten free option)

Makes about 8 eight-inch crepes

Ingredients

2 large eggs, preferably at room temperature

1 cup oat flour (if you have a gluten intolerance, make sure to select gluten free oat flour – Bob’s Red Mill also makes a great gluten-free option for a strict gluten-free diet)

1 cup milk (for a dairy-free option, almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk work well, too)

dash of salt

1 tablespoon cane sugar or sugar substitute, such as Swerve (you can reduce or omit sugar for savory crepes)

Cooking spray

Instructions

  • Whisk all ingredients together in a medium bowl (or place in blender and blend on medium) until most lumps have disappeared.
  • Heat a 9.5″ crepe pan or small nonstick skillet over medium heat; spray with nonstick spray.
  • When pan is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter into non stick pan and swirl until pan is coated in a thin layer of batter.
  • Heat crepe until edges start to turn a light golden brown color and curl up slightly on the edges.
  • Using a spatula, turn crepe over and heat on other side until light golden brown.
  • Transfer crepe to plate. Place a small square of wax paper between crepes to keep them from sticking together.
  • For best results, spray crepe pan or skillet with additional cooking spray before cooking each crepe.
  • Store extra crepes in the fridge or freezer.  To reheat, warm one at a time in a skillet over medium-low heat for a few minutes.  Or pop one or two in the microwave for a few seconds.  I recommend making double or triple batches of crepes at a time so you’ll always have plenty on hand.

Enjoy, and bon appetit! ♥ xo jane
