Homemade Sweet and Savory Strawberries and Cream Oatmeal Crepes are so simple and easy to make, scrumptious too!
Do you enjoy crepes but, like me, have never made them? Don’t let that stop you. When it comes to crepes, I’m not gonna lie… I’d never made them before this recipe came to fruition in the ongoing list of ideas going through my head at any given time.
I have to say, I believe I’m sold on making crepes. They’re so easy to make and scrumptious too. I love that they can be made savory or sweet, meaning every person in my family is happy.
Yet another inspiration point for these particular crepes was the fact that strawberries are ripening across Northwest Arkansas, and my boys wanted to go pick berries. Berries, oatmeal, my desire for a new recipe… You get the picture.
I normally love berry picking every year, but this year my 9 month pregnant belly is kinda hindering me in some ways, including bending over to pick a whole flat of berries. But that didn’t stop us from going and letting the boys pick ’til they had a crate full of red, juicy berries that looked oh so good.
It didn’t take them long because the berries were in abundance and absolutely beautiful. I couldn’t resist picking a few myself.
Our first ever batch of homemade crepes was a hit!
This crepe recipe is similar to a pancake recipe, only it uses a slightly thinner batter, that and there’s no baking powder or baking soda. That way the crepes can really spread out in the pan without puffing up into pancake form.
I added crushed strawberries to the crepe batter itself, and I also added chopped strawberries to the cream filling.
Mix your batter. Then cook each crepe on a griddle, spreading each crepe out with a spoon, so it’s nice and thin. They don’t take long to cook; once they’re fully cooked, you can lay them out on a cutting board to cool. Once cooled, you can either stack them or fill with the cream filling and fold the sides over on top of each other.

Thank you, Ashley! I’d never made them before, but I’ll definitely be making them more now.
Just a thought…how would one of the yogurts work in the filling?
Thank you, Debbie! Arkansas berries are the best. I hope you enjoy the crepes. And mmmm, yes… Adding in yogurt would make a great filling. And add even more nutrition too.
