These Halloween crepes will be the perfect Autumnal breakfast to make your Halloween special! They have pumpkin in the batter which gives them a beautiful orange hue. They also have a spider web design on them that is drawn with chocolate crepe batter.
To make the crepes, a batter is made by whisking eggs with sugar, pumpkin puree, oil, milk, and flour. Then, part of it gets mixed with cocoa powder to make a chocolate batter. Next, to cook the crepes, you begin by drawing a spider web in a non-stick pan before topping it with the pumpkin crepe batter. These beautiful Halloween-themed crepes are delicious on their own but can even be served with whipped cream, maple syrup, and fresh fruit.
