Crepes are already a weekend favorite, but this version takes them to a whole new level. These Chocolate Peanut Butter Crepes combine two timeless flavors, chocolate and peanut butter, in a way that feels both familiar and exciting. The crepes themselves are soft and tender, made with real cocoa for that deep chocolate flavor, while the peanut butter filling brings a creamy contrast that tastes like dessert for breakfast.
What makes this recipe stand out is the balance. The chocolate isn’t overly sweet, the peanut butter adds just the right amount of richness, and you can control the sweetness depending on your preference. It’s a recipe that proves indulgence doesn’t have to be complicated, just thoughtfully made.
What Makes This Recipe So Good
These Chocolate Peanut Butter Crepes are made to impress without demanding much effort. The crepe batter comes together in minutes, yet the texture is light and pliable enough to wrap around a generous layer of peanut butter filling. Using cocoa powder in the batter gives a deep, satisfying flavor without relying on excessive sugar or syrup.
The real highlight is the filling. Instead of heavy cream or frosting, this version uses peanut flour for a protein-rich, smooth, and creamy center that complements the chocolate crepes beautifully. Paired with a drizzle of homemade chocolate sauce, this crepe recipe strikes the perfect balance between comfort and indulgence, making it a reliable go-to for both breakfast and dessert.
What Goes Into Chocolate Peanut Butter Crepes
You only need a handful of simple ingredients to make these Chocolate Peanut Butter Crepes rich, soft, and full of flavor. Each ingredient serves a clear purpose in building texture and taste.
- Plain Flour: Provides structure and flexibility, keeping the crepes thin yet sturdy enough to hold the peanut butter filling without tearing.
- Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: Adds real chocolate flavor and a naturally deep color, giving the crepes their signature look and taste.
- Egg White: Creates a light, smooth batter and helps the crepes set properly while staying tender.
- Peanut Flour: Whisked into a creamy filling, it delivers a rich nutty flavor with fewer calories and more protein than traditional peanut butter.
Note: Please see recipe card at the bottom for a full list of ingredients with measurements.
How To Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
- Whisk the Batter: Combine all crepe ingredients in a bowl and whisk until smooth and free from lumps. The batter should be thin and easy to pour.
- Heat Pan: Lightly grease a non-stick pan over medium heat and allow it to warm up before pouring in the batter. This helps the crepes cook evenly and prevents sticking.
- Cook the Crepes: Pour about 2 tablespoons of batter into the center of the pan, swirling to spread it thinly and evenly across the surface.
- Flip and Repeat: Once edges turn golden, flip the crepe using your fingers or a spatula. Cook the other side until lightly golden, then remove and repeat.
- Prepare Filling: Whisk the peanut flour and sweetener until smooth. In another bowl, mix the cocoa, sweetener, and warm water to make the chocolate sauce.
- Assemble and Serve: Spread the peanut butter filling over each crepe, fold, and drizzle with extra filling and chocolate sauce before serving.
These Chocolate Peanut Butter Crepes pair beautifully with a few simple sides. Try them with Honey Lime Fruit Salad for a bright, refreshing contrast, Cream Cheese Scrambled Eggs for a savory touch, and a cozy Nutella Hot Chocolate to round out the meal.
Tips For Making Chocolate Peanut Butter Crepe
- Keep the batter thin so it spreads easily across the pan. If it feels a little thick, I just add a small splash of milk until it pours smoothly.
- A good non-stick pan makes all the difference and saves you from torn crepes. Trust me, it’s worth it.
- Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. It gives you softer, smoother crepes every time.
- Medium heat is your friend. Too hot and they’ll brown too fast before they set properly.
Recipe FAQ’s
A non-stick pan works perfectly. You don’t need a crepe pan, just make sure the surface is smooth and easy to swirl the batter around.
Make sure your pan is hot enough and lightly greased. If the batter is too thick, the crepes will be hard to spread thinly.
Stack them with parchment paper between each one, then refrigerate for up to two days. Reheat briefly in a pan before serving.

Instructions

Notes
