Description
Light protein crepes flavored like a cinnamon roll, suitable for a high-protein breakfast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cooking spray or butter for the pan
- For the filling: 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- For the filling: 1 tablespoon powdered sweetener
- For the filling: 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- For the drizzle: 1 tablespoon powdered sweetener
- For the drizzle: 1 teaspoon milk
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the egg, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Whisk until the batter is smooth.
- Lightly grease a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread the batter thinly into a circle.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges look dry and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip and cook for 30 seconds more. Slide the crepe onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- While the crepes cook, prepare the filling by mixing the softened cream cheese, powdered sweetener, and cinnamon until smooth.
- Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over each crepe.
- Roll or fold the crepes.
- Prepare the drizzle by mixing the powdered sweetener and milk until you reach a thin consistency. Drizzle over the finished crepes.
Notes
- Adjust milk amount if the batter is too thick or too thin. The consistency should be thinner than pancake batter.
- Use a low-sugar sweetener if preferred for the filling and drizzle.
