Ingredients
Scale
Batter Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 120 ml low fat high protein milk (soy, almond, low fat, or full fat)
- 30 g protein powder (vanilla, white chocolate, chocolate, etc.)
- 15 g flour (can substitute oat flour or gluten-free flour)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Toppings (Optional)
- Peanut butter powder mixed with cocoa powder and hot water (for chocolate spread)
- Chopped bananas
- Strawberries
Instructions
- Mix the Batter: Whisk the egg until frothy. Add the milk, protein powder, flour, and vanilla extract if using. Whisk thoroughly until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Using an electric whisk is recommended for the best texture.
- Rest the Batter (Optional): Refrigerate the batter for 5-10 minutes while preheating your pan. This allows the mixture to settle and can improve the crepe texture.
- Heat the Pan: Lightly spray a non-stick pan with oil and heat it to medium temperature. Make sure the pan is evenly coated for easy crepe removal.
- Cook Each Crepe: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, lifting and tilting the pan to spread the batter evenly over the surface. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is golden. Flip if desired or cook fully on one side.
- Repeat: Continue cooking crepes with the remaining batter, making approximately 4-5 crepes depending on the size of your pan.
- Serve: Top your protein crepes with your choice of toppings such as a homemade chocolate peanut butter spread and fresh fruit like bananas and strawberries for a tasty and healthy meal.
Notes
- You can substitute the flour with oat flour or gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
- The protein powder flavor can be adjusted according to your preference (vanilla, chocolate, etc.).
- Refrigerating the batter is optional but helps create a smoother texture.
- Use a non-stick pan and light oil spray to prevent sticking.
- Serve immediately for best taste and texture or keep warm in a low oven.
