Easy Pancake Mix Crepes
As a busy mom, there are moments where I crave a crepe but don’t have the time to spend hours in the kitchen perfecting every detail. Let’s be real, life gets hectic! When this happens, I turn to my trusty pancake mix recipe that requires only a few simple ingredients: pancake mix, an egg, vanilla extract, and milk. The best part?

These delicate, buttery treats are packed with a delightful combination of caramel apple preserves and toasted cinnamon pecans. The perfect balance of sweet and salty flavors, reminiscent of traditional crepe fillings, will have you falling in love with them during this cozy autumn season.
Strawberries and Cream
The nostalgia-inducing delight of cafe delites is a hard one to beat. The combination of creamy, dreamy goodness in every bite brings back fond memories of childhood summers spent chasing the perfect flavor. But, it seems I’ve found something that rivals even this beloved treat – strawberries and cream crepes! The addition of orange liqueur and its subtle sweetness takes them to a whole new level of indulgence, making each delicate crepe feel like a taste sensation straight from heaven.
Lemon Crepes
As the seasons transition into spring, I find myself drawn back to my beloved lemons. It’s as if their bright, citrusy flavor is the perfect accompaniment to the warmth and renewal that comes with this time of year. And so, I’m thrilled to be revisiting one of my favorite treats: homemade lemon crepes. These delicate pastries are filled with a tangy mascarpone-cottage cheese mixture, then topped with a rich and creamy homemade lemon curd.
The result is a sweet and citrusy delight that’s sure to brighten up any spring morning.
Banana Split Crepes
I’m thrilled to share with you my latest obsession – a recipe that takes the classic McDonald’s ice cream to a whole new level. For those who have been following along, it’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of their ice cream. When the machine is out of order, you can bet I’ll be throwing a tantrum right alongside my three-year-old (who also tends to get a bit upset in these situations). This sundae takes everything great about the original and amplifies it.
Thin crepes filled with sweet cream, ripe bananas, and rich chocolate – what more could you ask for? If you’re a banana lover like me, this treat is sure to be right up your alley.
Chocolate Crêpe Cake with Bourbon
I’m indulging in a decadent celebration – a chocolate crepe cake that’s taken my birthday game to new heights. The magic happens when you combine heavy whipping cream, sugar, and bourbon using an electric hand mixer, creating a luscious whipped topping. To construct this masterpiece, simply layer 20 crepes with two tablespoons of the heavenly mixture in between.
I’ve been fortunate enough to try various mixers over the years, and after four years of loyal service from my trusty Kitchenaid, I can confidently attest that its pastel blue hue, tactile feel, and unparalleled mixing prowess make it well worth the extra $20 compared to its Hamilton counterpart. If you’re seeking a show-stopping surprise for your loved one’s special day, look no further than this birthday crepe cake, guaranteed to leave them beaming with delight.
Nutella Crepes
Let me let you in on a little secret: this homemade crepe recipe is absolute game-changer. In fact, the spread I used – Nuts N More’s protein-rich dark chocolate peanut butter – is so divine that I’ve been known to stock up and hoard it from Trader Joe’s (who can blame me, right?). It’s sweeter, richer, and packed with 75% more protein than your average peanut butter or spread. And trust me, once you try it on these crepes, you’ll be hooked. The best part?
They’re ridiculously easy to make – just whisk together flour, eggs, milk, water, and melted butter for the batter, and fill them with fresh strawberries, bananas, and a drizzle of Nuts N More (or Nutella, if that’s your jam). These classic crepes are a crowd-pleaser, and I’m not surprised they’ll become a staple in your household. Plus, if you have leftover Nuts N More, don’t even get me started on the snacking opportunities – I won’t judge you for eating it straight from the jar (or spoon…
or whatever vessel suits your fancy). All in all, this recipe is a must-try, and I’m so glad I stumbled upon it.

The vibrant red hue is only matched by the rich flavors within. Each delicate crepe is filled with a velvety smooth chocolate whipped cream and sweet strawberries, creating a culinary symphony that’s impossible to resist.
With every bite, you’ll be proclaiming your love in the most delicious way possible.
Gluten-Free French Crêpes
When it comes to preparing meals for my nephew, who suffers from severe gluten allergies, I’m always on the lookout for recipes that meet his dietary needs without sacrificing flavor. During a conversation with my sister about crepes, she introduced me to cassava flour – a game-changer in the world of gluten-free baking. This ‘grain-free’ flour has gained popularity due to its remarkable ability to mimic the texture and taste of traditional wheat flour. The best part?
Most recipes that use it turn out essentially identical to their gluten-containing counterparts. I was thrilled to discover that with just 7 common ingredients, I could create light, airy, and fluffy crepes that are not only gluten-free but also remarkably similar to those made with wheat flour. Whether you choose to fill them with fresh fruit, eggs, and spinach, or other creative combinations, these crepes offer a delicious way to start your day – all without compromising on flavor.

It’s a match made in heaven – Boston Cream sweetness, dessert-like indulgence, and a hint of fudgy goodness. Who needs donuts when you can have crepes this divine?
Homemade Pumpkin Crepes
Imagine savoring the essence of autumn in every bite. These scrumptious homemade pumpkin crepes are the perfect conversation starter! The delicate, fluffy texture is perfectly balanced by a rich and creamy pumpkin filling made from cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, and canned pumpkin – it’s like a taste explosion that’ll leave your taste buds in pumpkin nirvana. As you indulge, the aroma of fall will fill your home, transporting you to a cozy autumn evening.
And let’s not forget the versatility – the pumpkin whipped cream makes an amazing dip for graham crackers, if you can manage to save any! These crepes are truly fa-boo-lous!
Custard Filled with Blueberry Sauce
When it comes to filling crepes, I’m torn between cream and custard. While I don’t have a preference per se, I do believe each has its own perfect moment. And speaking of moments, this particular recipe is one that I hold dear – the combination of sweet, airy crepes, easy custard filling, and fresh blueberry sauce is nothing short of incredible. These crepes are more dessert-like in nature, which I think is exactly what we’re looking for when we cook them up in the morning.
They’re a delightful twist on the classic breakfast treat, don’t you agree? The best part is that each bite is a perfect balance of textures and flavors – light, fluffy crepe, rich custard, and sweet-tart blueberries. It’s a match made in heaven!
