Table of Contents
What You’ll Need
Here is what you’ll need to make these spinach crepes:
- Spinach: The main ingredient for that vibrant green color. Spinach adds great nutrients and vitamins.
- Flour: I used all-purpose flour in this recipe, but you may replace it with a different type of flour.
- Milk: I used whole milk, but dairy-free alternatives work as well.
- Water: To help thin out the crepe batter.
- Egg: Used as a binder to help hold the crepes together.
- Butter: For added fat, and flavor, and to help prevent the crepes from sticking to the pan.
- Maple Syrup: For added sweetness. Omit if you are using savory fillings.
Step By Step Instructions
- Blend all of the ingredients together until smooth. Refrigerate the batter for at least 30 minutes. If you don’t have time, you can use the batter right away, but refrigerating crepe batter for some time is what helps the crepes obtain a better texture!
- Melt some butter on a pan on medium heat and use a brush to spread it on the pan. Pour a small amount of crepe batter into the pan and quickly tilt and rotate the pan to spread the batter evenly. I used an 8-inch pan and spread about 1/4 cup of batter.
- Cook the crepes until the edges start to slightly brown and lift up away from the pan. Flip over and cook for about 30 seconds on the other side. Stack the crepes on top of each other so that they do not dry out as you make the rest.
- Fill the crepes with your favorite fillings, fold them over, and serve!
Ingredient Substitutions
- Milk: You may replace the whole milk with a dairy-free alternative like oat milk or coconut milk.
- Flour: You may replace the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
- Butter: The butter may be replaced with equal parts coconut oil.
Sweet Crepe Filling Combos:
- Peanut Butter & Banana
- Blueberries & Cream Cheese
- Nutella & Strawberries
- Sunbutter & Jelly
- Whipped Cream & Strawberries
- Yogurt & Peaches
Storage Instructions
Let the stacked crepes completely cool and wrap them in foil or plastic wrap. Store them in the fridge for up to 3 days. To freeze, store in a freezer-safe Ziploc bag with parchment paper lined between them for up to 2 months. Placing a sheet of parchment paper between each crepe ensures that they do not stick together since they are so thin. You may reheat them on low heat in a pan until warmed through.
Recipe Notes
- It’s ok if your first crepe doesn’t come out well! This happens often as you get the hang of the pan tilt and heat. Once you get the hang of it, the next few will come out well and you’ll be a pro!
- Once the top of the crepe starts to look dry and the edges start to lift up away from the pan, it is time to flip over the crepe.
- I like to make crepes in an 8-inch pan. I find that this size is easiest to flip, but feel free to use what you have on hand!
- If you are using savory fillings, omit the maple syrup and replace it with 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- I love using this nutribullet blender to blend the ingredients into a smooth batter!
