Crepes with Fresh Fruit: A Light, Sweet Treat for Any Time of Day

There’s something special about crepes—they feel fancy, yet they’re surprisingly easy to make. I remember making a big batch one morning, hoping for a simple breakfast, but before I knew it, they were disappearing faster than I could cook them! Light, delicate, and slightly crispy at the edges, these crepes became an instant favorite.

What I love most is how versatile they are. You can fill them with anything—fresh berries, bananas, a drizzle of honey, or even a bit of whipped cream. They’re perfect for a slow weekend breakfast, a midday snack, or even a light dessert. Whether you’re making them for yourself or sharing with loved ones, crepes always feel like a little bit of luxury on a plate.

Crepes with Fresh Fruit Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Crepes:

• 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/4 cups (300ml) milk
• 1 tablespoon melted butter (plus more for cooking)
• 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for sweeter crepes)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Filling:

• 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
• 1/2 cup blueberries
• 1 banana, sliced
• 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
• Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
• Whipped cream or Greek yogurt (optional)

Instructions:

1. Make the Crepe Batter:

   • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
   • Let the batter rest for at least 15-20 minutes (or refrigerate overnight for even better texture).

2. Cook the Crepes:

   • Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
   • Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling to spread it evenly into a thin layer.
   • Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges lift slightly, then flip and cook for another 30 seconds.
   • Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking cooked crepes on a plate.

3. Assemble the Crepes:

   • Fill each crepe with fresh fruit, fold or roll them, and drizzle with honey or maple syrup.
   • Dust with powdered sugar and top with whipped cream or Greek yogurt if desired.

Light, delicate, and bursting with fresh fruit, these crepes are a simple yet elegant treat. Whether you enjoy them as a breakfast, brunch, or dessert, they bring a touch of sweetness to any moment. Serve them warm with your favorite toppings, and don’t be surprised if they disappear quickly!
