Crepes have held a spot in my heart for many many years. I’m not even sure when I ate my first crepe or when/how my love for them started. All I remember is every single time our family went to IHOP, I would get an order of their crepes.
When I went to Paris for a weekend trip while studying abroad in Europe, I practically ate crepes at every meal. I had several banana Nutella crepes and a savory crepe filled with chicken, cheese, a fried egg, and mushrooms. For dessert one night, I had a strawberry, banana, Nutella, and ice cream crepe.
Holy CREPE!!
My traveling partner thought I was nuts for eating crepes, while I thought she was nuts for not eating crepes….in PARIS!
A pre-blogger photo of my banana Nutella crepe eaten while lounging in a beautiful Parisian garden:

For brunch yesterday, I made some crepes that brought me straight back to Paris. They were thin ‘n’ light and made with just 3 ingredients.
3 Ingredient Oat Flour Crepes
Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup oat flour (ground oats)
- 1/2 cup almond milk or any dairy/non-dairy milk
Directions:
1. Grind oats into a flour consistency using a food processor/Magic Bullet
2. Add egg and almond milk. Blend.
3. Pour a thin layer onto a nonstick and/or greased pan.
4. Carefully flip the crepe to cook the other side.
5. Enjoy!
Makes 4-5 medium sized crepes.
***I would NOT recommend using egg whites. Egg yolks are essential for a crepe-like texture. Also, you can add stevia/agave nectar/sugar to sweeten up the batter if desired.
Of course, I came up with some combinations for my crepe fillings:
Filling #1:
Pumpkin yogurt (pumpkin puree + yogurt + cinnamon), bananas, and hazelnuts:
Filling #2:
Almond butter yogurt (almond butter + yogurt), nuked apples and cinnamon.
Topped with confectioners sugar and bananas:
Bon Appetit!!

Thanks for the tidbit about NOT using egg whites. That is definitely something I would have tried to get away with.
Never tried a crepe while in Paris. Guess I’ll have to go back!!!
Girl, you are amazing!! I am so making these tomorrow for breakfast!
Those look delicious! And who goes to paris and doesn’t eat crepes??
Absolutely beautiful. I just ate my afternoon snack but all of the sudden I’m hungry again! Surprise surprise.
One word: YUM!
I love making crepes, glad to see someone else does too! They are impressive, yet such a cinch to make.
I used to adore nutella crepes when I was younger…we used to go to this pancake restaurant when I went to stay with my step dad, and they did the biggest most amazing ones! Aaah this post takes me back
NEED to try these, stat
I fail at flipping crepes – but practice makes perfect, right? The mistakes still taste good, and hopefully I can manage three ingredients 
MAKING these! I have all the ingredients and no breakfast food! PERFECTO!
Wow these look so good! If I don’t have a food processor, do you think I could use oat bran in place of oat flour?
These look so great, I just wrote oat flour down on my after work grocery list. They WILL be making an appearace at my house this weekend!
HOLY YUM! girl you are such the little chef. THESE look amazing! I will be trying this soon.
Go Miss Baker extraordinaire! They look divine!
these look so yummy! I think I may try crepes this weekend! you inspired me
They look delish and the combos yum! x
Mmmm crepes!! They remind me of Paris, too…when I was a kid I LOVED them with Nutella!
MMM … these look delicious! I love the idea of making your own oat flour. Definitely going to try these!
)(*&$#()*&)(*#&$@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (That was me screaming internally so that my co-workers do not think I’ve officially gone crazy). I LOVEEEEEEEEE CREPES! Especially Nutella Banane (although Framboise/Raspberry jam is a very close second)!! I studied abroad in Paris, so you’d better believe I ate my own weight, and probably the weight of about 12 skinny Parisiens as well, in crepes. They are just so delicious and CHEAP! I mean, there is a little Crepe monsieur on every corner! There was one right around the corner that my friends and I knew quite well, because we’d pretty much stop there every day before hoping onto the metro to class. yummmmm… just thinking about it makes me miss the smelly, non-air conditioned Paris metro. I am definitely going to have to try this recipe! Merci Allie!!!!

Hey Allie! Awesome spread for breakfast! I was just reading some of your older posts and ran across the one where you made a version of Rosie’s Granola Bars….are you going to post the recipe?! It would be very much appreciated! Thanks!
DROOL!!!! OMG, Allie….these crepes look amazing. It’s been a few years since I’ve made them….don’t know why as they’re so simple…….and now I have a hankering. I like mine stuffed with warm cream cheese and strawberries with chocolate drizzled on top. Mmmm…
Brilliant little crepe recipe- I will most definitely try this
wow! nice job! they look great!
I miss European crepes so much! While studying abroad, I had SO many too (the best one was in Versailles). Thankfully, my roomie here has a crepe maker and randomly we’ll have strawberry and nutella crepes! SOOO tasty.
Your crepes look amazing and so easy to make! I will definitely try out this recipe.
I loooooove crepes! We had nutella crepes in Paris and they were fantastic…not even all that fancy! Add some banana and life is good…
Crepes remind me of Paris too.We went there with my boyfriend in summer 2008 and I still remember the small cafe by a street where they served THE best crepes I’ve ever had
I wish I could go back to Paris NOW and have some crepes for breakfast.
Wow, you can’t get any simpler – love it. I wish you could have lunch with me at a delicious healthy, hippie crepe restaurant in my hometown. You would be in crepe heaven!
YUM!!!!!!! i am totally impressed with how nicely you got those to turn out!

I’m gonna try these tomorrow morning, too! Thanks!
Oh my, this would be tackling one of my fear foods, but they sound simple and amazing. Thanks for the recepie
WOW ALLIE!!! 3 ingredients crepes!!! THAT’S AMAZING!! Thanks for sharing your recipe! Will be making this sometime this week
For making the crepes.. is there a way to make it vegan? what ingredient should i use instead of an egg? i could use egg replacer but that’s not the same texture as an egg. or applesauce
This looks to be the newest addition to my breakfast addiction. Holy Moly that looks amazing! Thank you for sharing.
These look so amazing! I am trying to eat a little healthier and I think I’m going to add these into our diet.. I love the pictures– makes them look delicious!

Made these tonight after looking for a wheat free pancake recipe. Can’t believe they are so good. I added a wee bit of cassonade sugar and a pinch of salt. I live in France and this will do in a jiff if you need a wheat free crepe.
yum!! I just came back from Paris and LOOOOOOOVED the nutella crepes… My boyfriend was so confused why I would be SO determined to get them. I can’t help it.. crepes thin, papery, sweet and can be stuffed with anything. How can you go wrong?
Oh my goodness, I miss those crepes SO much. Sweet and savory. Mmmm! You’ll like this post http://www.livelaugheat.com/2010/09/26/project-food-blog-holy-crepe/
I tried these for breakfast and they turned out yummy! Plain, they tasted like cream of wheat (not a bad thing!!)…but when I smeared them with a bit of cream cheese and some raspberry preserves, OH MY! These were YUMMY! I will try making them with coconut flour next time just to see what the taste variation is…
I found your website…big smile…yes..:)
and I found what I’m having for breakfast tomorrow
Yum! I just made these with shredded chicken and cabbage, almost like and egg roll! Thanks!
I’ve made these a couple times now! So good! Thanks for the recipe! Me and my family love them! I found that the first one ALWAYS sticks to the pan so if you like making them thin like me, be careful with the 1st one!
