Oat Crepes with Tomatoes, Basil, and Goat Cheese

In my kitchen, I treat gluten and gluten-free the same. I have quite a few gluten-free recipes on this site but it's not because I specifically made them to be gluten-free. I made them because I liked the flavor those particular elements brought to the dish. I'm not celiac or gluten-intolerant but I still enjoy these dishes. While these grains (and seeds) get the label of "gluten-free" I think it's important to remember that they too have a place in everyone's kitchens. Each one is unique and can add a lot to whatever the dish may be.

You may have noticed by now that I also have a certain love of crepes. While I typically enjoy the sweet variety, I do eat my fair share of savory (like this grilled cheese and asparagus crepe). I enjoy the lightness the wrap brings and how well it can lend itself to both savory and sweet. There's a nice almond crepe in the book but I felt like sharing this easy oat crepe. If you saw yesterday's post on grinding equipment, you may notice that you can make oat flour from rolled oats in a food processor + a little sifting. If I'm not careful, I'll just lather these oat crepes with a bit of butter/honey and eat them just like that.

Also, if you want more sneak peaks at the book, some of my friends have shared a smattering of gluten-free recipes from the cookbook:

  1. Although I will eat any crepe.... my favorite crepe filling is a sauteed mix of spinach, corn, swiss cheese, and chicken (baked, cubed or shredded works)!

  2. These look amazing!! I am not gluten free by any stretch of the imagination, but I will try these with oat flour, I'm sure they taste great!

  3. Crepes with maple syrup + strawberries used to be my go-to Sunday morning breakfast 🙂 Definitely need to try with oat flour!

  4. I love this idea! I'm always looking for a crepe/pancake GF recipe that's not super high in sugar or calories! This is DEF one to try!

  5. brilliant post, love! i've been curious about making gf crepes as of late. i think i might try this for lunch today. it seems so much easier than i imagined it to be! i guess my favorite sweet crepe filling is probably chèvre and sour cherry or blackberry jam, and then savory is probably grilled asparagus and heirloom tomato and feta. <3

    1. There's really nothing to it! It's all about the balance of flour and liquids. The almond crepes from the book are my favorite dessert crepe!

  6. Smoked blue cheese,mushrooms, sun dried tomato, and garlic spinach.

  7. I love your blog and recipes and look forward to buying your book. Everything I've seen about it so far looks fantastic!

  8. Yum, these really look good-definitely will try it. I like the other suggestions from the comments too.

  9. I'm a simple gal when it comes to crepes. Sugar, a squeeze of lemon and some melted butter, and I'm good to go!

  10. I love savoury breakfasts and this one looks so simple and beautiful. Oat crepes taste delicious and especially because they're a little more filling, since crepes can be super light sometimes!

  11. Savory: maybe some sauteed zucchini/onion/mushroom mixture also with goat cheese. Sweet: lemon curd! nutella!

  12. I prefer savory food.

    My choice of filling would be peanut butter with curry leaf powder (Indian, can be found in grocery stores) / chutney or chicken curry or mixed vegetable curry.

    This is how we do crepes in our household and nobody in the family has a sweet tooth because we are not used to it.

  13. I love bananas in a crepe... but the goat cheese in this one has me very intrigued!

  14. for savory crepes, this sounds like a new favorite filling. although, for sweet crepes dark chocolate and raspberries never fails!

  15. banana and nutella crepes for sweet

    ham and gruyere for savory! can't go wrong with simple...

  16. Good Morning Erin, thank you again for the opportunity to enter. I enjoy crepes with fresh berries and a maple syrup, but will be trying your recipe soon : )
    Have a great day!
    Julie

  17. Tried this recipe and it is my new favorite!
    Goat cheese makes it so delicious. <3

  18. I love simple berries (Boring, I know) but I once did an awesome portobello mushroom and goat cheese crepe. Fresh herbs would have taken it to the next level! I'll have to try this recipe.

    1. Hi Natasha, not sure why they would be! Oat flour is fairly light and closely resembles the color of wheat flour.

  19. i recently went gluten free for dietary reasons, and i've been loving all your gluten free recipes recently! i'm definitely going to have to get a copy of your book.

    a younger (less healthy) version of myself loved to pile whipped cream, chocolate sauce, & colorful sprinkles in my crepes. now i'm more of a savory crepe fan, and the basil + tomato combo is always a winner. i bet these would be great with a balsamic reduction too!

  20. These crepes are such a great idea! What an amazing and simple lunch--especially when the summer tomatoes ripen. I love all kinds of different crepe fillings, but I think my favorites have scrambled egg and veg. Egg and spinach is especially classic. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!

  21. lemon, ricotta cheese, radishes, and a whole lot of fresh herbs from the garden. I think that would be delicious along side a salad!

  22. I've been on a savory kick lately, so my favorite crepe filling would have to be the combination of sauteed mushrooms and carmelized onions!

  23. my favorite filling is fresh ricotta with pear butter. i just got the wondermill grain and can't wait to use it with your new book!

  24. Just bought ingredients to make this after reading this post this morning! Thanks for the inspiration.

  25. Lovely recipe! Kind of a combination of sweet and savory: gorgonzola blue cheese with pears caramalized in honey and vanilla with roasted walntus and fresh thyme.

  26. Great giveaway! I live the nuttiness of oats. I love your idea for a savory crepe. I would definitely try it that way. For breakfast, I think it'd be good with a later of almond butter, drizzle of honey, and sliced strawberries. Yum!!

  27. I'd use any fruit I have on hand. Right now, strawberries and blueberries. Warmed in a saucepan with a little butter and sweetener and there you have it!

  28. Thank you for this recipe!

    What would I fill? Well it would depend on a mood of sweet vs. savory...

    Sweet: Peach, Pecan and brown sugar (a sort of 'peach cobbler' style)]
    Savory: Ricotta, artichoke and freshly ground pepper. Simple!

  29. How to decide?? Probably sweet first, since I haven't made creeps yet and have a sweet tooth lately... Berries?

  30. Oh Ella - these crepes look amazing! I've printed out the recipe and on my way to find some oat flour!
    mary

  31. I would have to say that sweet crepes stuffed with greek yogurt and topped with maple syrup and fruit is my favorite!

  32. I'd love to try them with za'atar roasted eggplant and onions, with tahini spread and feta!

  33. I would love to try a jam filling, perhaps for a brunch or light dessert. These look delicious!

  34. These look so good! I love savory crepes, with veggies...onions, mushrooms, and asparagus sound like it'd be delicious right now!

  35. The Tomato, Basil, and Goat Cheese look so yummy in it and all the other suggestions are looking tasty too...I will have to try these soon!

  36. I do vegan and savory. Any type of fake cheese will do -- cashew, tofu, cauliflower -- and some greens sauteed with onion. Your GF recipe looks great and easily made vegan. Thanks!

  37. yum! We were just in Paris and I was all googly-eyed over all of the crepes there on the street. I would enjoy these with almond butter and jam 🙂 I know that is kind of random but just sounds good to me at the moment!

  38. I love the traditional lemon and sugar, but would like to incorporate more savory options to my crepes.

  39. I love all crepes, but you can't go wrong with some nutella. My favorite breakfast treat from France 🙂

  40. Love all crepes, but there is something about savory ones. Particularly enjoy spinach, mushroom and cheese.

  41. These crepes are amazing! I also made them with spinach in a mixer, and it brougt a little more sweetness to the crepes. Delicious! I have a glutenfree blog and are always happy when I find great gluten free recipes.

  42. I would make these for breakfast filling them with scrambled eggs made with green onion, minced garlic, feta cheese, spinach and a few halved grape tomatoes.....mmmmmmm.

  43. Used homemade oat flour I had on hand. It gave the crepes a bit of a nutty flavor and added texture to my crepes (since my oat flour wasn't super fine). Served with almond butter and melted dark chocolate. Great recipe!






  44. Most often they get eaten with jam or honey but one of the yummiest versions are crepe rolls filed with spinach, tomato (cooked together so the tomato gets soft) and mozarella cheese. Put in a baking pan and covered generously with cheese (the kind that melts well), and put in the oven for a while. So yummy. 😀

  45. The title says, 'Gluten Free Oat Crepes with Tomato, Basil, and Goat Cheese' but then it says cream cheese in the instructions - is it just a typo?
    BTW - they look delish, I am intrigued.

  46. These crepes turned out so well. My children loved them with apple Honey cinnamon and cottage cheese. Thank You!

  47. This is so yummy and interesting gluten-free oat crepes with tomatoes basil and goat cheese. I tried this kind of recipe before but this is unique.






  48. These crepes look delicious; and after trying out your recipe, I can confirm they taste even better. I like trying out various crepe recipes, being an all time favorite for me. I was curious to see how a gluten free version would taste like; and I am impressed.

  49. Hi and thank you so much for sharing this recipe! I just made these for my partner and he loved them!






  50. Why are all of the ingredients in Imperial measure and the flour is in grams? How much is 60 g in cups? Would love to make these but don’t know how much flour to use!

  51. Would the caprese recipe work with fresh mozzarella cheese instead of goat cheese? I'm wondering if the mozzarella cheese would be too wet
