Considerations
- !The filling significantly changes the caloric profile - jam, syrup, or chocolate spread can double a portion's calories
- !Fried with a lot of oil or butter, crepes can absorb extra fat that doesn't appear in the base recipe
- !Values shown are averages for plain crepes without filling, made with a little fat
FitAzi Tip
FitAzi recommends crepes filled with cottage cheese and fresh fruit as a more balanced version than jam or chocolate-filled ones. Use a nonstick pan with little oil to reduce the fat absorbed while cooking. Values are averages for the classic recipe without filling.
Frequently Asked Questions
A plain crepe (about 50g) has 114 calories, with 3.3g protein, 14g carbs, and 4.5g fat. These are average values for the classic recipe without filling - filling adds extra calories.
A portion of 2-3 crepes with jam or chocolate spread (about 150-180g with filling) can reach 450-550 calories, nearly double the value of plain crepes, due to the concentrated sugar in the filling. A version with cottage cheese and fresh fruit stays significantly lower in calories.
