Easy Low Carb Egg Wraps for Paleo, Keto Diet

Have a pile of yummy stuff to eat, but no fork? A sandwich or wrap makes sense, but if you’re avoiding breads, tortillas, pita pockets and other carbohydrates, getting that food into your mouth can be tricky.  My Paleo, Keto, Low-Carb Egg Wraps make a smart swap for bread-like products – they have no carbs, no grains, no gluten, and no weird taste and texture like some of those alternative bread products around.

Paleo, Keto, Low-Carb Egg Wraps

Growing up, my mom might have made these Egg Wraps and called them crepes. Yes, they are kinda like crepes, but so much easier and, again, free of all flours and grains. Read on to get the recipe, meal-prep instructions and serving ideas.

jennifer thefitfork low carb keto paleo egg wrapTo keep your day stress free, let me share the essential ingredient list for this easy recipe:

  1. Eggs

You probably already have a dozen eggs in your fridge, meaning you can which up a batch TODAY. Okay, other ingredients you may need and probably already have on hand are coconut oil cooking spray, salt and pepper and wax paper if making a bunch for meal prep. Maybe some chopped herbs if you want to get fancy. But that’s it. You’re welcome. 

Also, there is no shame if you want to skip the fresh eggs in shell and go straight for the Egg Beaters**. That works too. You are in the judgement-free zone.

Paleo, Keto, Low-Carb Egg Wraps make a tasty substitute for bread or tortillas! Each has only 16 calories each (yet with 3g protein) . . . . so you can have several stuffed with tasty fillings for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Great for healthy meal prep and also freezer friendly.

These Paleo, Keto, Low-Carb Egg Wraps have around 26 to 36 calories each and 3+ grams of protein (**depending on what egg carton product or size of eggs used). Have one, have two, have a half-dozen!

Some Low Carb Egg Wrap making tips that you’ll want to follow for success:

  1. If using fresh eggs, let them sit on counter for 10 minutes after blending so any foam or air bubbles are mostly re-absorbed.
  2. If using eggs from a carton, I personally think that the whole egg versions work and taste better than egg white versions.
  3. Use an 8-inch non-stick skillet for best results. I like this this 8-inch non-stick skillet.  It’s a luxury, but well worth it!
  4. Coat non-stick skillet generously with coconut oil or olive oil spray.
  5. Egg should be poured into a VERY thin layer, much thinner than you would pour for an omelet. Maybe about ¼” thick.
  6. Once egg is mostly set in skillet (will happen quickly) and air bubbles are rising, remove from heat and let “self-cook” in skilled until top no longer looks runny.
  7. Do NOT try top flip egg wrap to cook on other side, simply remove from heat (as described above) and it will firm up in about 1 minute.
  8. Use a SOFT spatula with a THIN edge to loosen up edges of wrap from skillet.
  9. Wraps stay good in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
  10. To meal prep for freezer, layer wraps between slices of wax paper and store in air-tight container for up to 3 months. Wax paper will keep them from freezing together in one big blob.

    Thanks for posting this. I had a recipe for low-carb enchiladas using this technique but the link is broken.
    I appreciated the reminder not to flip them. This helped a lot! Also the precise measurement in the 8″pan (I have one) was spot-on.
    One complaint. Please update the yield to 4 or change the ingredients to 4 eggs/1 cup. There are only 8Tbs in 1/2 cup! I had to mix more in the middle of the process which made the second batch more frothy.

    • Thanks for the comment on the yield . . . I am taking a look at the recipe right now and making any needed adjustments.

  4. 5 stars
    There are so many great ways to use these! Very excited to add this to my regular recipes every week.

  5. Hi, can you explain how these are only 16 calories when a large egg is about 80 calories and there is half an egg in each wrap?

    Thanks

    • Hi, thanks for drawing my attention to this, because you are correct on the whole egg calorie thing. I originally ran the nutrition using just liquid egg with yolk product . . . and that’s what it resulted in (even my common sense didn’t see the problem with the 4 egg calories being more). Anyway, I re-did nutrition with varying egg with yolk from carton products and the highest I could get was 21 calories for one crepe (using 1 cup total). If using fresh whole large eggs, then 36 calories . . . One thing I’ve noticed is that nutrition labels aren’t very consistent, including my own (just trying to offer usable info . . but hate for it to be wrong). Am going to edit post saying will vary based on what product is used. Thanks again. — jennifer
