Crepes in 30 seconds. What could possibly be better than that? Disneyland? Nope. Puppies? Close. Crepes that are 100% paleo, made in the microwave in under one minute? YUP! These 30 second paleo microwave crepes are the next big thing in easy, microwavable treats.
I brought crepes to a dinner party once. Took me like 23.5 tries to get them perfectly cooked in a pan but eventually I got the hang of it. Who knew a paper-thing egg/flour disk with a little fresh fruit and Nutella could be such a hit. Not a SINGLE person declined dessert that night. In fact, I had my peeps asking for seconds.
Crepes = everyone’s favorite thing. I’m not denying that Nutella probably played a roll in my success story, but no one can debate the utter brilliance of the crepe.
Here is the best thing about crepes – the filling. Totally customizable, making crepes a great choice for a sweet breakfast or a savory lunch. Some of my favorite combos are bananas and almond butter, spinach and mushrooms, and of course strawberry chia seeds and chocolate. Sorry Nutella – I love you but I can’t keep you in my pantry anymore. Self control is too challenging. Nutella = OUT. Strawberry chia seed spread = IN.
One of the most popular recipes on Physical Kitchness is this paleo pumpkin pie microwave soufflé. I am pretty sure it’s a hit because it’s insanely easy and super-duper tasty. So I took note – more recipes that are healthy and delicious, simple and fast. I hear ya, I hear ya!
These 30 second paleo microwave crepes will make breakfast a cinch, dinner party desserts out-of-this-world, and crush all your crepe cravings in the comfort of your own home. Basically crepes in a microwaves are my hero.
The first step is making the chia seed strawberry spread. I love these fruity chia seed creations because not only does this work well folded in these decadent crepes, but you can use any leftovers as jam or sweetener in other breakfasts or desserts. Plus it’s loaded with fiber, protein, omega-3’s, and vitamin C. Simple puree one cup of strawberries with 1 1/2 teaspoons raw honey. Pour into a plastic container, bowl, or mason jar and add one tablespoon chia seeds. Mix well and place the container into the refrigerator and let sit at least 30 minutes, in order for the chia seeds to soak up most of the liquid.
To make the crepes, crack three eggs into a small food processor or blender. Add the coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Puree until smooth (this should take 15 seconds or less). Place a small, square piece of parchment paper on the glass microwave disk or a flat, microwave-safe plate. Pour 2 heaping tablespoons of the crepe batter directly on the parchment paper and using the bottom of a spoon, gently but quickly spread the mixture evenly to form a small, thin circle.
Microwave for 25-30 seconds, until the center of the crepe is fully cooked. Quickly take the crepe off the parchment paper and flatten with a rolling pin (or your hands) if needed. If the batter was spread a little thick before microwaving, it may come out slightly puffy. The crepe will be VERY hot so placing another piece of parchment paper over the top to flatten is recommended. The thinner the batter is spread before microwaving the more ‘crepe’ like it will be.
Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the strawberry chia seed spread in the middle of the crepe and fold in each end. Or simply spread the chia seed mix on top of each crepe. To make the chocolate drizzle, place 1 dark chocolate square (I used 65% cocoa) in a microwavable bowl and add one teaspoon full-fat coconut milk. Microwave 15 seconds, then stir. If the chocolate has not completely melted, microwave another 10-15 seconds. Let cool slightly then drizzle over the top of each crepe.

That looks so good and easy! Will definitely try it soon! 🙂
Good and easy are my favorite two words. Ok, maybe I have a few other favorite words but you know what I mean. Thanks Jookie!
didn’t work for me.. batter just stuck to the wax paper waste of time and eggs
★
Hi Al – instead of using wax paper, use parchment paper. The batter will stick if using anything other than parchment.
Well that’s a pretty niffy idea! I’ve never really had crepes :/ Very THIN pancakes, but never intentionally ‘crepes’ 😉
Hmmmm sounds like it’s time to give these a whirl Rebecca 😉
You don’t know how many times i’ve tried to make crepes and FAILED! Rejoicing over my answered prayer right now! Pinned 🙂
Crepes are hard! I mean, it takes such skill. But not with these!! Enjoy Rachel 😉

Crepes are one of my favorite dishes! I can’t wait to try this microwave version.

I feel like it’s hard not to categorize crepes as ‘non-favorites’. They are just so amazing! Thanks Cathy!
I love that these are gluten free. I enjoy the slightly sweet taste of coconut flour. I bet it works very well with the strawberries and nutella! Yum!
I too, love coconut flour! And YES strawberries and Nutella = amazingness!
Trying this with strawberries and paleo Nutella, feels like I’m committing a sin but NOT!
Gaaaaah you have me drooling over here!
These look amazing!! I will have to try these as soon as I introduce “flours” and seeds back into my diet. I totally love strawberry chia spread what an awesome combo!! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much Jenn! Good luck with the reintroduction and I hope these rock your world!
Wow, these look SO good!

Not impossible, but not easy either! The microwave version is a piece of cake! I hope you give these a whirl Samantha.
Crepes are one of our favorite breakfasts but I had no idea you could make them in the microwave.
Honestly I had no idea either, until I started experimenting!! Now it’s easier than ever!!
Microwave crapes!!?!?!? This is fantastic! Thanks for the recipe!
My pleasure Susannah!
You are a genius! YUM! I’ve always wanted to try making crepes by they looked intimidating. But you make it look SO EASY!
Crepes ARE intimidating! But I got too annoyed by that so I had to create something easier!! These certainly are!
no denying crepes are one of everyone’s favorites! But SAME with taking so many tries in getting them the way they were suppose to come out! This microwave idea is GENIUS. Time saver, #winning.
xo,
Sarah Grace
Thanks so much! Crepes ARE a favorite, no matter what the occasion. But I totally dig the easy route. Don’t we all?! 😉
These look amazing! I love that they can be made in the microwave so quickly. Thanks for sharing 🙂
You are so welcome Sarah. Quick is sooooo perfect when it comes to crepes 😉 When the craving strikes, ya just gotta have them asap.
Genius! Can’t wait to make these!
Thanks so much Nicole! Enjoy my friend!
These look so simple and delicious! I love fresh crepes and homemade jam. Definitely giving this a try!
Oh homemade jam. It makes everything better. Crepes do too of course 😉
Crepes are DEFINITELY a people pleaser! I’ve never seen anyone turn them down. Can’t wait to give these a try and load em up with nutella too 🙂
I haven’t either! Crepes are the best (as is Nutella). I hope you love them Cayanne!
These look amazing! When I saw the title, I was like NO WAY can you cook these in 30 seconds. But that’s an awesome way to make these. Love that there’s 3 eggs for all that protein too.
Hehehe I promise I’m not lying! 😉 Oh yes, gotta love all that protein – but eggs are kinda my thang. Thanks so much Melissa!
I’m trying this tomorrow! So excited! But I’m curious, could almond flour be able to be used instead?
I haven’t tried it to be honest! You might have to play with the ratio a bit. Keep me posted if it works!
Do these taste very “Eggy”? I’ve attempted recipes (like cloud bread) that really just end up tasting like scrambled eggs.
If they don’t, I’ll definitely be trying them!
Hmmm I don’t think so!
