Ingredients

For the Crepes

• 1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour for added fiber)
• 1 1/4 cups skim milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Cooking spray

For the Chocolate Filling

• 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or dark chocolate for a richer flavor)
• 1/4 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon powdered sugar (optional for sweetness)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Prepare the Crepe Batter

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and gradually add the milk and vanilla extract.
3. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth. Let the batter rest for 15-20 minutes to remove air bubbles.

Cook the Crepes

1. Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray.
2. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and quickly tilt to spread it evenly into a thin layer.
3. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift, then gently flip and cook the other side for another minute. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Prepare the Chocolate Filling

1. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth.
2. Mix the melted chocolate with Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy.

Assemble the Crepes

1. Spread 1-2 tablespoons of the chocolate filling onto each crepe.
2. Roll or fold the crepes into your desired shape (rolled, folded into quarters, or layered).

Garnish and Serve

1. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a small amount of melted chocolate for presentation.
2. Serve warm with fresh fruit like strawberries, bananas, or raspberries for a flavorful and colorful touch.
