These pumpkin crepes are delicious light and golden crepes, flavored with actual pumpkin and pumpkin spice for the perfect fall breakfast. Stuffed full of pumpkin cheesecake for a perfect fall brunch or breakfast.
I’m one of the people who looks forward to pumpkin season all year long. It’s one of the best fall flavors, whether it’s a classic Pumpkin Roll, Pumpkin Cake or Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies.
These pumpkin crepes are such a perfect wall to start a beautiful fall day. They’re perfect for a deliciously sweet breakfast or brunch. As you cook up the crepes the aromatic smell of cinnamon and pumpkin spice will fill your kitchen, making it smell just fall in your house.
The pumpkin crepes can be filled with a variety of filling options. You can fill them with a traditional crepe filling like nutella, roll them up with some butter and cinnamon sugar, or my newest favorite – a no bake pumpkin cheesecake filling. I’ve included that recipe for you as well as the recipe for the pumpkin crepes themselves.
How to make Pumpkin Crepes?
These pumpkin crepes are pretty simple to make and the base for the crepes themselves, starts out like any other crepe recipe. You can mix the batter for all the crepe ingredients in a large bowl, by whisking it all together, or you can blend them all up in a blender together, till smooth.
Then put the crepe batter in the fridge for about one hour. Letting the crepe batter rest allows it to thicken up a bit, for the most delicate, melt in your mouth crepes.
You can cook the crepes with a crepe maker, or in a large skillet. If you’re cooking them in a pan set the heat to medium heat. Grease the pan with nonstick spray, or melted butter for a little more crispiness. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan and tilt the pan around in circles to swirl the batter to coat the entire pan evenly.
The crepe will start to release from the bottom of the pan after about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Flip the crepe carefully with a rubber spatula and continue to cook the bottom until it’s golden brown as well. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Fill crepes with your desired filling – I definitely recommend the pumpkin cheesecake filling though 😉 and don’t forget to add a little whipped cream to the top of the crepes too.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What is the difference between crepes and pancakes?
Crepes are much thinner than pancakes because they are made without baking powder, or another raising agent. They are thinner, giving them very soft centers, and crispy edges, and are delicious rolled up or filled up with different fillings or toppings. Don’t forget to try our basic crepe recipe too.
To make sure your crepes have a nice crispy edge you can leave them in the pan a little longer before flipping, or removing them from the pan. You can also make sure to add more oil to the pan as well.

How to store leftover Crepes?
Stack the crepes and wrap them well in foil or plastic wrap. Then store them in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. If the crepes are extra sticky place a piece of parchment paper between each one then stack and wrap them.
Let them warm for a few minutes at room temperature before filling, or zap them in the microwave for about 30 seconds each to warm them up.
