Grain-Free Crepes With Strawberry Jam
Grain-Free Crepes are quick and easy to prepare, and lots of fun to eat! They can be filled with almost anything – whether sweet or savory! With a fruit filling, such as strawberry jam, they’re perfect for entertaining guests for brunch, or as a sweet treat any time. They can also be used in place of bread to roll up meats, salads, nut butters, cheese, or anything desired! Since they’re made with tapioca and cassava flours they’re naturally gluten-free, grain-free and Paleo-friendly. They’re so delicious, no one will ever guess they’re healthy!
This post includes a great recipe for Strawberry Chia Seed Jam” by Lexi from LexisCleanKitchen.com. Why buy store-bought jellies or jams when homemade, low sugar jam is this simple to make? Thank you Lexi for this incredible, healthy recipe!
While this Strawberry Crepe is super low in sugar (it only contains a little honey in the jam) it really satisfies one’s sweet tooth!

Grain-Free Crepes With Strawberry Jam
(Printer-Friendly Recipe below)
Servings: Six 8 inch crepes
Crepe Ingredients:
-1/2 cup tapioca flour – (I use Bob’s Red Mill Tapioca Flour)
-2 Tbsp Cassava Flour – (I use Otto’s Cassava Flour)
-4 organic, cage-free eggs (I use duck eggs since I’m sensitive to chicken eggs. Both work perfectly!)
-2 Tbsp coconut oil – melted (I use Nutiva Coconut Oil)
-1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract (*Omit if using a savory filling)
-2 Tbsp almond milk (Cow’s milk can be used if a dairy option is preferred.)
-1/4 tsp pink Himalayan salt (While any salt can be used, I use pink Himalayan salt because of its high mineral content.)
Crepe Instructions:
-
Melt coconut oil.
-
Place melted coconut oil into mixing bowl along with eggs, vanilla, and almond milk. Blend thoroughly.
-
Heat a frying pan on medium heat. (No need to use a non-stick pan or oil. These crepes will not stick to pan!)
-
Pour batter, about 1/4 cup at a time, into ungreased, heated frying pan. In order to make thin, circle-shaped crepes, pour batter slowly into the center of pan and use the back of the spoon or ladle in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly.
-
Cook on first side for about 1 minute, until batter solidifies. (See picture below.)
7. Flip and cook for an additional 30-60 seconds. Crepes should be slightly browned.
-
Eat immediately with desired toppings, such as the Strawberry Chia Seed Jam below. Crepes can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer for future use in an airtight bag or container.
*Note: These crepes can be quickly reheated from frozen in a toaster oven for 3-5 minutes or microwave for 30-45 seconds. Enjoy!
