Serving suggestion
Adjust the batter consistency
The consistency of the batter is key to making soft, pliable spinach wraps. If it feels too thick, add water a little at a time, blending until the batter spreads easily without becoming runny. On the other hand, if the batter seems too thin, mix in a teaspoon of coconut flour, one at a time, to thicken it.
Ensure the spinach wraps cook evenly
Spread the batter evenly on parchment paper, aiming for 3–4 mm thickness. This prevents the wraps from becoming too thick or fragile. Monitor the baking time and temperature; overcooking can make the wraps brittle. Properly baked wraps will be firm enough to hold the fillings while remaining soft and pliable enough to roll them easily.
Select the best avocado and mango for your wraps
Selecting ripe avocado and mango offers the best flavour and texture in your wraps. Choose an avocado that yields slightly to gentle pressure and has no dark spots. For the mango, look for one with a vibrant colour and a subtle give when pressed. Avoid underripe fruits, as they can be too firm and lack flavour, or overly soft ones that might turn mushy.
FAQ: Questions about spinach wraps
Are you wondering how to keep spinach wraps fresh or prepare them ahead of time? Below, we share answers to frequently asked questions to help you on your way.
Can I prepare spinach wraps in advance?
Yes, spinach wraps can be prepared beforehand, making them a convenient choice for meal prep. Once baked and cooled, store them in an airtight container. Place a sheet of parchment paper between each wrap to prevent them from sticking together. This keeps them soft and easy to separate when you are ready to use them.
How do I store spinach wraps?
To keep your spinach wraps fresh and pliable, let them cool to room temperature first. Wrap each individually in parchment paper to prevent sticking, then place them in an airtight container or resealable plastic bags. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months for longer storage.
Can I freeze spinach wraps?
Yes, you can freeze the spinach wraps. In fact, the wraps themselves are pretty handy for long-term storage. When ready to enjoy again, ensure they are fully thawed before reheating. Warm them briefly in a dry frying pan over medium heat or in the microwave to soften them, making them flexible and ready to fill and roll.

Homemade spinach wraps with eggs
Soft, vibrant, and full of flavour, these homemade spinach wraps are the perfect base for an array of delicious fillings. Making these quickly and from scratch gives you the opportunity to create a colourful home-cooked meal – even when you are short on time.
The secret lies in blending thawed, well-drained spinach with eggs and coconut flour to create a soft, pliable wrap. Chia seeds help pump up the volume of the wraps, making sure they have a satisfying texture for carrying the delicious fillings.
Smoked salmon filling with white cheese and fresh spinach
Smoked salmon and white cheese are a match made in food heaven. The salmon adds a rich, smoky aroma that is basically tailor-made for the creamy, tangy white cheese. Both are rolled into the subtly savoury spinach wraps and joined by fresh, crisp spinach. This way, you get a dose of all flavours and textures in each bite.
Sweet and buttery with mango and avocado
Mango and avocado create a fresh and fruity filling that truly hits the spot. The juicy sweetness of mango, combined with the buttery texture of avocado, adds a vibrant contrast to the earthy spinach base. Together, these fillings create a well-rounded meal that is refreshing and delicious.

Get creative with the recipe
Spinach wraps are great because they allow you to experiment with flavours and ingredients to suit your mood. Replacing smoked salmon with grilled tofu or tempeh adds a smoky, savoury character while remaining easy to prepare. For those who enjoy a bold kick, thinly sliced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce can bring a vibrant heat that enlivens each wrap.
Play around with the veggies as well. Add carrots for a gentle sweetness and cucumber for a cool, crisp bite. Both give a light touch to the richer ingredients like salmon and white cheese. Fresh herbs, such as basil or dill, bring a fragrant, aromatic touch, elevating the overall experience with their brightness.
With so many ways to personalise your wraps, every creation feels exciting, ensuring this recipe never becomes predictable.
