Easy Strawberry Crepes
This is a fun spin on my favorite crepe recipe. I love to make this strawberry version during the summer, Nutella crepes and blintzes also taste great with fresh berries!
Strawberry crepes are one of my favorite breakfast recipes! They make the perfect breakfast or dessert crepes and are seriously so delicious.
Recipe Ingredients
A few pantry staples quickly transform into a light and airy crepe batter in the blender and then are topped off with a bright strawberry sauce that comes together in minutes.
Find the full printable recipe with specific measurements below.
- Crepe batter: Blending milk, eggs, butter, salt, and flour in a blender creates a smooth and light batter ideal for making crepes.
- Strawberry sauce: It’s as simple as mixing fresh strawberries and sugar, but you can make it a bit more decadent and jammy by cooking it with butter and lemon juice.
Crepe Filling Variations
I love to make strawberry and cream crepes by using a cream cheese filling, adding strawberry sauce on top then adding a dusting of powdered sugar on top!
- Cream cheese crepe filling: I use this filling in my easy strawberry crepes recipe then top with the sauce!
- Strawberry Nutella crepes: Spread about 2 Tablespoons of Nutella on the inside of each crepe. You could also use strawberry jam.
- Strawberry and chocolate crepes: Add some mini chocolate chips to the filling or drizzle assembled crepes with chocolate sauce.
- Fruit: Other fruits we love to add includes sliced bananas, raspberries or blackberries.
- Syrup: If your family loves syrup as much as mine try this buttermilk syrup or maple syrup
- Top with: Whipped cream and a sprinkle of powdered sugar are both good choices.
How to Make Strawberry Crepes
Making crepe batter is so easy and quick! All you need is a blender and a skillet and you’ll have perfectly golden crepes in just 15 minutes.
- Blend. Combine ingredients in a blender and mix until batter is smooth, about 15-20 seconds. Place batter in refrigerator until ready to use.
- Cook. Spray 8-inch frying pan with non-stick spray. Pour 1/4 cup batter into pan and cook over medium-low heat. Turn pan immediately from side to side to form an even circle. Cook 1 minute per side and then flip and cook another minute until crepes are lightly browned. Remove from heat and stack until ready to serve.
- Make strawberry sauce. Make a basic strawberry filling by combining strawberries and sugar then resting until a simple syrup forms. You can also make a jammy filling by cooking strawberries and sugar with lemon juice and butter on the stovetop.
- Fill. Fill with strawberry sauce and roll or fold and then top with an extra toppings, if preferred. Serve and enjoy!
Recipe FAQs
Crepes are a French-style pancake that is both thin and flat rather than being like a pancake that is big and fluffy. They can be filled with sweet fillings or sometimes I make savory crepes, too.
They use several of the same ingredients, but crepe batter is much thinner and doesn’t use any leavening agents (baking powder or baking soda), which means they are much flatter. That being said you can make crepes with pancake batter with a few tweaks!
While a speciality crepe pan is impressive, you don’t need one. Any small non stick skillet will work. I use an 8 inch pan but up to a 10-inch pan will also work.
Make Ahead and Storage
- Make ahead strawberry crepes: The crepe batter can be made up to 24 hours in advance and stored in the fridge until you’re ready to cook. You can also make the strawberry sauce up to a few days in advance and store refrigerated.
- Store: Crepes can be made up to 3 days in advance and warmed through just before serving. To store properly, add them to a zip-top bag and layer parchment or wax paper in between (so that they don’t stick together). Place in the fridge until ready to serve.
- Freeze: Easily double the batch and stick half in the freezer for later. They’ll last in the freezer for a couple of months. Then simply reheat in the microwave or in a skillet until warm.

YUM!!! I am excited to try these with my family!
Been trying new recipes every week during this stay in place order and cake across this gem. No longer have a blender so I used a hand mixer and the batter came out good! I doubled the batter when pouring it into the pan because 1/4 would not coat my pan all the way and it was fine. The end result, amazing!!! I look forward to making this many more times. Thanks for sharing!
