How To Make Your Egg Crepe
- Preheat pan – Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Mix batter – In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vanilla extract, and salt (if using) until smooth. If using flour, whisk it in until fully combined.
- Pour & swirl – Pour the batter into the hot skillet and swirl the pan gently to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.
- Cook the crepe – Let cook for 1–2 minutes, or until the edges lift and the bottom is lightly golden.
- Flip & finish – Carefully flip the crepe and cook for another 30–60 seconds, until set.
- Cool & enjoy – Let cool slightly before serving. Fill or top with your favorite toddler-friendly toppings and enjoy warm!
Hint
If you’d like a firmer or more “classic” crepe texture, whisk in 1-2 tablespoon of flour to give it a bit more structure while keeping it light and flexible! Making a more sturdy egg crepe for your toddler.
Substitutions
This is already naturally gluten-free and can easily be made dairy-free!
- milk → use dairy or any unsweetened non-dairy alternative
- egg → can try with an egg substitute, but personally I haven't tried any other way
Variations
Feel free to make this easy egg crepe your own based on you and your toddler's preference!
- cinnamon banana crepe – add a pinch of cinnamon and spread with mashed banana before rolling
- berry yogurt roll-up – fill with Greek yogurt and berries for a balanced, nutrient-dense snack
- savory crepe – skip the vanilla, add a pinch of garlic powder, and fill with cheese or sautéed veggies
- PB&J roll-up – spread with nut or seed butter and a thin layer of fruit jam or mashed berries, then roll up and slice into bite-sized pinwheels
- mini pizza crepe – skip the vanilla, and after cooking, spread with a little pizza sauce and shredded cheese. Pop it back in the pan for a minute to melt the cheese, a fun savory twist!
Equipment
You will need a mixing bowl or mason jar to whisk the ingredients in and a non-stick skillet (for easy flipping) to cook the egg crepe.
Storing Your Egg Crepe
Honestly, this egg crepe is best served fresh. If making ahead, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Not ideal to freeze.
Tiff's Dietitian Tip
Get creative with how you serve it! Roll the crepe tightly and slice into pinwheels for a fun, bite-sized option, or cut into thin strips for little hands to grab and dip. Changing the shape can make familiar foods feel brand new and new foods feel less scary for toddlers! PS - top with sprinkles for added fun 😉
FAQ
Yes! Use almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk. Whatever works best for your little one.
For sure! Add ½ teaspoon maple syrup or mashed banana for natural sweetness.

My toddler will not touch an egg if it looks like an egg. But she LOVED these crepes! I added flour for the thicker crepe and put peanut butter on it - she crushed it 👏🏻👏🏻
