Classic Zero Point Crepes
These paper-thin, delicate Classic Zero Point Crepes offer a remarkably light take on the French breakfast staple. By leaning on protein-rich zero-point bases instead of standard heavy flours and butter, they cook up into beautifully lacy, golden sheets ready to be folded or rolled with your favorite guilt-free fillings.

Prep time: 5 minutes

Cook time: 10 minutes
-
Servings: 2 (makes about 4–6 crepes total)
Ingredients
-
2 large eggs
-
2 large egg whites
-
½ cup water or unsweetened almond milk
-
2 tbsp cornstarch (divided thinly to maintain low value, or sub ground oat fiber)
-
1 tbsp zero-calorie granulated sweetener
-
A pinch of salt
-
Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
-
Blend Batter: Combine the eggs, egg whites, water, cornstarch, sweetener, and a pinch of salt in a blender. Blend on high for 30 seconds until completely smooth and frothy.
-
Heat Pan: Heat a 10-inch non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
-
Pour & Swirl: Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the center of the hot pan, immediately tilting and rotating the skillet in a circular motion to coat the bottom with a thin layer.
-
Flip: Cook for 60 to 90 seconds until the edges loosen and turn lightly golden. Carefully flip using a thin spatula and cook the other side for another 30 seconds. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Notes & Tips
-
Rest the Batter: If you have time, let the blended batter rest for 10 minutes. This allows the air bubbles to subside, preventing your crepes from tearing easily.
-
The First Crepe Rule: The first crepe is almost always a test run while your pan’s temperature stabilizes—don’t worry if it folds or tears!

Q&A
Q: What fillings can I add to keep this at zero or ultra-low points?
A: Fill them with fresh zero-point fruits like sliced strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries, and top with a dusting of powdered erythritol or sugar-free syrup.
Q: Can I prepare the batter ahead of time?
A: Yes, you can mix the batter the night before and store it in an airtight container in the fridge. Just give it a quick whisk before pouring it into the pan.
