Nutella Crepes are an indulgent option for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. Tender crepes start with a simple batter that’s cooked in a skillet, then slathered with Nutella and fresh fruit.

Why We Love This Recipe

  • Prep in Advance – Because the batter has to rest, this is a great recipe to prep the night before and then cook up the morning of!
  • Decadent, yet simple, Breakfast or Brunch – Crepes are an indulgent option to elevate your breakfast or brunch, but they are as easy to make as pancakes!
  • Lots of Filling Options – We love Nutella and strawberries, but the options are endless, from sweet to savory!

RECIPE WALK-THROUGH

How To Make Nutella Crepes

See the recipe card below for full, detailed instructions

Crepe batter in a blender

Mix Batter and Rest – Blend up the batter (basically eggs, milk, flour and sugar) in a blender and let rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before using.

Crepe batter in a skillet

Heat Pan and Add Batter – Heat a 10 – 12-inch non-stick pan over medium heat and grease with butter. Add in 3 to 4  tablespoons of batter and quickly swirl it around the bottom of the pan to give it a thin even coating. You don’t want it so thin that you can see through it, but thin enough it cooks in 1-2 minutes.

Flip Crepe – When the batter is no longer shiny and wet and the edges are just starting to brown, flip it! Cook on the second side for 30-45 seconds. Remove the crepe to a plate.

Repeat – Repeat until all the batter is used, but be sure to add a little more butter in between each crepe.

Fill Crepes and Serve – Fill crepes by spreading a little Nutella over half and top with strawberries before folding the other half back over and one more time to make a triangle. Dust with powdered sugar and enjoy!

Are crepe and pancake batter the same?

While the two batters are similar, pancake batter has a rising agent like baking powder to make them thick and fluffy, while crepes do not so they are thin and flat. For a fluffy pancake recipe, check out my blueberry pancakes!

Storage Tips

The Best Way to Store Leftovers

Allow the crepes to fully cool then stack them with parchment paper between each one so they don’t stick together. Wrap the stack with plastic wrap to keep them from drying out, then store in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Recipe Tips

  • Rest the Batter First – For easy and perfect crepes that come out of the pan without tearing it is imperative to rest the batter for at least 30 minutes and preferably overnight. This will allow the gluten to relax and the flour to fully hydrate for tender crepes that won’t tear when you flip them. 
  • No Blender? If you don’t have a blender, you can use a medium bowl and a whisk. Slowly whisk the eggs and milk into the dry ingredients to prevent lumps of flour from forming, then fold in the melted butter.
  • Batter Consistency – Thinner is better when it comes to crepes. Make sure you fully use the pan and swirl the batter until it is very thin. Crepes should cook up in 1-2 minutes and should have a delicate browning. 
  • Adjust Temp for First Crepe or Two – Much like pancakes, the first crepe or two might not be the best of the batch. It takes a few tries to hone into the correct temperature setting on your stove. Once you find the correct setting, somewhere between medium and low, you can get into a good rhythm and start turning them out with ease. 
  • Watch the Edges – The edges of the crepe will begin to curl up when it’s ready to be filled over.
  • Flipping – If you’re having a hard time getting the crepes to flip, try using your hands to gently pull it up and roll it over.

Instructions
 

  • Place all ingredients for the batter in a blender and pulse 12-15 times, until everything is well combined. Let batter rest for at least 30 minutes up to 48 hours in the fridge before using.
  • When the batter has rested, heat a 10 – 12 inch non-stick pan over medium heat. Grease the hot pan with just enough butter to coat the bottom fully, then reduce the pan heat to medium low. Add in 3 tablespoons to ¼ cup of batter and quickly swirl it around the bottom of the pan to give it a thin even coating. You don’t want it so thin that you can see through it, but thin enough it cooks in 1-2 minutes.
  • You will know it is time to flip the crepe when the batter is no longer shiny and wet and the edges are just starting to brown. Cook on the second side for 30-45 seconds. Remove the crepe to a plate and continue cooking crepes until all of the batter is used, making sure to give the pan a very light swipe of butter between each crepe.
  • Fill crepes by spreading 1-2 tablespoons of Nutella over half the crepe. Place a layer of strawberries on top of the Nutella. Fold the crepe in half with the unfilled side covering the filled side, and then fold once again to create a triangle. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
