Are Chocolate Crepes Healthy?
These Chocolate Crepes probably wouldn’t be considered healthy in the diets of most people, but mindful eating is all about balance. If you’re putting in the effort to eat healthy foods most of the time, it’s important to let yourself indulge sometimes too.
How Are Crepes Different from Pancakes?
The main difference between crepes and pancakes comes down to the batter. Pancake batters have a raising agent in them like baking soda, baking powder or both which makes them thick and fluffy, whereas crepe batter does not. Instead, crepe batter produces a thin and flat result. It also typically has more eggs in it, which helps to give the cooked crepes a silky texture.

FAQs & Tips
Crepe batter keeps well in the fridge, which means you can make it in advance. Just make sure to keep it in an air-tight container, then you can store it for up to 5 days. Doing so makes it easy to prepare crepes one serving at a time throughout the week, if that’s your style.
Or, if you use all the batter at once and have leftover crepes, you can store them in an air-tight container or cover them in plastic wrap, then keep them in the fridge for up to 5 days as well.
If you aren’t getting your desired crepe texture after cooking the batter in the pan, you might need to add a bit more liquid. Crepe batter needs to be quite thin, so if your Chocolate Crepes are coming out thick or lumpy, try adding a splash of milk or water to the batter and whisk well.
The chocolate in Chocolate Crepes doesn’t come from actual chocolate, but from cocoa powder. This provides a more subtle chocolate flavor – extremely tasty and not too rich. If real chocolate were used, it wouldn’t blend as well into the batter.

Serving Suggestions
These Chocolate Crepes are amazing when topped with fresh fruit, but also go great with a fruit smoothie, like this Blueberry Smoothie. If you want to get a serving of greens with your breakfast, this Kale Smoothie makes a nice companion too.
