Today, I made us a special breakfast to celebrate spring! It’s here! It’s finally here!!
I totally ignored that little sprinkle of snow yesterday, because really? It’s spring and I’m so over that! Snow is yesterday’s news. Today, it’s all about flowers blooming, birds chirping and these Coconut Crepes with Whipped Yogurt and Berry Compote! I know, I know, the title is a mouthful, but believe me, it’s a delicious mouthful you need to try! I couldn’t just whip us up some ordinary breakfast to celebrate the new spring season, now could I?! I had to go big!
We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day right?! So we need to do it and we need to do it right. I don’t know about you guys, but when I have a delicious breakfast, I feel better about myself and whatever challenges the day has in store for me.
Yogurt has always been a favorite on my breakfast menu and Chobani has always been my yogurt of choice. Have you tried their new Simply 100 line? It’s the only 100-calorie Greek yogurt with zero artificial sweeteners or preservatives. It’s perfect as a quick, on-the-go breakfast, but even more perfect enjoyed with a special recipe like today’s crepes.
The fresh berries at the market were just screaming spring, so I decided to take full advantage and make a fresh strawberry and blueberry compote. You’re gonna LOVE it! And nothing goes better with fruit than yogurt, so I whipped up some Simply 100 vanilla yogurt with some honey and some cream and stuffed it inside a delicious crepe made with some coconut milk and unsweetened coconut. Perfect breakfast to celebrate spring don’t you agree? Hope you enjoy! Happy spring!
- Berry Compote:
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 2 cups fresh strawberries cored and quartered
- 1 cup water
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- Crepes:
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 Tbsp. melted butter
- 2 tsp. granulated sugar
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 2 Tbsp. desiccated coconut plus extra for sprinkling on top
- Whipped Greek Yogurt:
- 3 5.3-oz conatiners Vanilla Flavored Simply 100 Greek Yogurt
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
- 2 Tbsp. honey
-
Berry Compote: Place berries, water, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla in a large saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until sugar dissolves and fruit begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Set aside to cool.
-
Whipped Greek Yogurt: In a medium bowl, whisk together yogurt, heavy cream and honey. Continue to whisk until mixture begins to thicken and soft peaks form. You can also use a hand mixer here if you have one. Place in refrigerator until ready to use.
-
Crepes: Combine flour, egg, egg yolk, melted butter, sugar, milk and coconut milk in blender. Cover and blend until very smooth. Add the coconut and continue to blend for 10 seconds. The batter should be the consistency of heavy cream. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
-
Heat an 8-inch crepe pan or small non-stick skillet over medium heat. Spray the pan with non-stick cooking spray.
-
Using a 1/3 cup scoop, pour batter into the center of crepe pan. Tilt and turn pan so the batter spreads evenly across the bottom of the pan.
-
Cook for about 1-1 1/2 minutes until edges and bottom begin to brown. Flip carefully with spatula. Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes until crepe is golden brown. Remove from pan to a large plate. Repeat with remaining batter spraying the pan with non-stick cooking spray in between each crepe and stacking finished crepes on plate. Keep warm.
-
To assemble crepes: Spoon some whipped yogurt onto one half of each crepe. Fold the crepe in half and then in half again. Spoon some of the compote over the filled crepe. Repeat with remaining crepes, yogurt and compote. Sprinkle the top of the crepes with extra coconut if desired. Serve immediately.
I totally ignored the “frosting” of snow that was on my trees this morning too…AND I picked up some blueberries and strawberries at the market this weekend without having definite plans for them. Looks like I now have definite plans for them! Happy Spring. :)
Great! You’ll definitely enjoy these Kate! Have a wonderful week!
Looks awesome Mary Ann, definitely a must try!!!!
Yay! Hope you like them! The perfect treat for after a tough workout!
Love that you are ignoring that bit of snow Mary Ann! It’s cold here, but I’m choosing to ignore the layers of clothing I need to put on to go outside, because helllllo spring! These crepes are the perfect way to celebrate, my dear! Coconut crepes are there own sound delicious, but that whipped yogurt and berry compote sound like an amazing addition! Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and I can’t wait to add this to my rotation! Gimme gimme gimme! Pinned! Cheers!

Oh my gosh, it’s snowing right now. I’ve got 6 inches and it’s still coming down. Some second day of Spring, huh? Ugh! I’m ready for sunshine and warmth! These crepes look fantastic. I eat berries and yogurt almost every morning for breakfast. It’s my go-to. So I’m very excited about this recipe!
Yay! I’m so glad Liz! I hope you enjoy them! I’ll say a little prayer for some spring weather to head your way!
This sounds like spring brunch in heaven!! I will definitely try this for Easter here in God’s waiting room, Naples, Florida…….
Ha! Sounds like a plan! I bet they’re that much better in sunny Florida!!
This looks amazing and the perfect recipe to remind you that spring is actually here (even if it doesn’t always feel like it)! I absolutely love fresh berries and greek yogurt but never thought of putting them in/on a crepe – it’s genius!

I start my mornings with Chobani coconut yoghurt most days – but never am I as creative to think of doing anything more than eating it straight from the tub. Delicious looking crepes Mary Ann Xx

Gorgeous crepes, and those berries are so vibrant and springlike! Sad that we are heading into autumn on this side of the world, but also kinda ready to say goodbye to sweaty, humid nights (in a month or so time when it is rainy and cold I will want them back through!). Stunning photos Mary Ann! x
Thank you so much Claudia! Autumn is one of my favorite times of year too. I actually don’t mind the snow in winter either, but when spring is here I’m ready for it to be over! Thanks so much commenting and following Claudia! Have a wonderful week!
Delicious! Can’t wait to create

This sounds divine. I cannot wait until we start seeing fresh berries around here. I have never made my own crepes, but now I must! So lovely!
They’re so easy Tessa! I have been enjoying my mom’s crepes since I was little! Such a treat!
Way to start your day with these healthy and delicious crepes! I love crepes but sometimes I am afraid that with the wrong ingredients they will be fattening but your recipe looks so perfect. I can’t wait to try it. Happy Spring to you too!
