Thin, tender chocolate crepes with a subtle cocoa flavor, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, customizable with various fillings and toppings.

Ingredients

4 large eggs

1 cup cold milk

¾ cup cold water

1½ cups all-purpose flour

¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

3 tablespoons granulated sugar

¼ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 tablespoons salted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, water, flour, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
  2. Add the melted butter to the batter and blend again for a few seconds.
  3. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes to allow the bubbles to settle.
  4. Preheat a crepe pan or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
  5. Pour approximately ⅓ cup of batter into the pan, swirling to evenly coat the bottom.
  6. Cook for about 1 minute until the surface appears dry, then flip and cook for an additional 15–30 seconds.
  7. Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and cover with a damp towel to keep warm.
  8. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes as you go.
  9. Serve warm with your choice of fillings and toppings.

Notes

  • Store leftover crepes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.
  • Reheat crepes in a skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds per side or in a 350°F oven for 5–10 minutes.
  • For dairy-free, substitute milk with plant-based milk and use dairy-free butter.
  • Can freeze crepes for up to 2 months with parchment paper between layers.
  • To make crepes thinner, use just enough batter to coat the pan and swirl quickly.
  • Chocolate chips can be folded into the batter for added texture.
