Best breakfast of this past weekend right here:
Based on a combination of my pumpkin butter crepes & brownie batter yogurt.
Any berries would be great in this recipe.
Greek yogurt based filling (as opposed to the cottage cheese in the pumpkin version).
Strawberry and Almond Cream Crepes (serves 1)
- 1/3 cup prepared pancake batter, thinned to buttermilk consistency (I used Kodiak mix, thinned with water), yielding about 1/2 cup
- 1/2 cup fresh berries, chopped
- 1/3 cup greek yogurt (0% Plain Chobani is my favorite, but Strawberry would be good, too)
- 2 Tbsp almond meal (or ground almonds)
- 1/8 tsp almond extract
- 1/8 tsp vanilla extract (I used vanilla stevia)
- sweetener, to taste (1-2 tsp of honey would be delicious)
- Pre-heat a skillet until a drop of water sizzles when added. Spray with cooking spray.
- Pour 3-4 Tbsp of batter in to hot skillet, turning to coat and create a thin layer.
- When the edges begin to brown and the center looks dry, carefully flip (about 1.5 – 2 minutes), and cook an additional minute on second side. Repeat to make 3-4 crepes.
- Divide almond filling and strawberries among crepes.
- Roll carefully, and place on dish seam-side down.
- Garnish with powdered sugar; serve with extra strawberries, maple syrup or additional almond yogurt.

Favorite crepe/pancake filling?
These look amazing-definitely will be making for breakfast this weekend!! I’m in the Pittsburgh area and have been looking for vanilla stevia since hearing about it from you, but can’t find it anywhere! Do you buy it online or do you have grocery store suggestions? Thank you!
Hi Emily! I actually got it free from the company, but I re-stock from iHerb.com. You can get $10 off a $40 order with code: VAP443. I’d also check any “health food” stores in your area. Shoot me an e-mail and let me know what part of the city you live and maybe I can think of a place for you to look!
These look sinfully delicious! And with pancake batter! I think you just made crepes approachable enough for me to attempt my own…

Claire, you’re making my mouth water! Stop it right now!
I LOVE crepes–I think my favorite filling is Nutella and bananas!
Had that combination during our honeymoon in Rome – AMAZING. http://www.clairetherd.com/rome-part-2/
That looks delicious – I love crepes!
Those look divine! My favorite filling is banana and honey (and chocolate)
Thanks, Aylin! I think chocolate fits in pretty well with anything.
That seems so fancy!
Maybe one morning I’ll be sweet to the husband and make them… maybe just for myself.

I actually can’t remember the last time I had a crepe! #want

Ahh I love, love, love crepes!
For sweet ones, I like strawberries and banana. This is a great use of greek yogurt!
I like savory ones, too, with avocado, alfalfa, and tomato!
