Why This Works for Intermittent Fasting
These crepes are built on eggs, coconut flour, and butter — a high-fat, moderate-protein combination that delivers lasting satiety without spiking insulin. The low net carb count keeps your body in or near a fat-burning state even after breaking your fast, and the generous butter content gives your cells the slow-burning fuel they need to carry you through the rest of your eating window.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 3 tbsp coconut flour
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for the pan)
- 4 tbsp full-fat double cream
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch of sea salt
- Optional: 1–2 drops liquid stevia or monk fruit sweetener
Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk well. Add the melted butter, double cream, cinnamon, sea salt, and optional sweetener.
- Sift in the coconut flour and whisk until completely smooth and lump-free. Let the batter rest for 3–4 minutes — it will thicken as the coconut flour absorbs the liquid.
- Place a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Add a small knob of butter and swirl to coat.
- Pour about 4 tablespoons of batter into the centre of the pan and immediately tilt to spread into a thin round about 18 cm across.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes until the edges look set and the surface is mostly dry. Carefully slide a spatula underneath and flip.
- Cook for a further 1 minute on the second side, then slide onto a warm plate.
- Repeat with remaining batter, adding a little butter to the pan between each crepe.
- Serve warm with a generous pat of cold butter melting on top and a dusting of cinnamon.

Fasting Compatibility
Best for: 16:8, 18:6, OMAD. The high fat and moderate protein content of these crepes create a slow, sustained insulin response, making them an ideal first meal after a 16+ hour fast. They are filling enough to sustain a single eating window without the need for additional snacking.
