Ingredients
  

For the crepes
  • 1 cup protein powder (whey or plant-based) Choose your preferred type of protein powder.
  • 1 cup milk of your choice Any milk works, including dairy and non-dairy alternatives.
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract Adds flavor to the crepe batter.
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (melted) Use for extra flavor.
  • 1 pinch salt
For the filling
  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar or a sweetener of choice Adjust sweetness according to preference.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the protein powder, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, melted coconut oil, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and brown sugar until thoroughly combined. This will be used for the filling.
Cooking
  1. Preheat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or a little coconut oil.
  2. Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet, swirling to create a thin, even layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift.
  3. Sprinkle a thin layer of the cinnamon sugar mixture over one half of the crepe. Fold the other half over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
  4. Cook for another minute, then carefully flip the crepe to ensure the sugar melts and the crepe is cooked through.
  5. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes on a plate as you go. Serve warm with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Notes

For gluten-free crepes, substitute regular protein powder with a gluten-free option. Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes for a more tender texture. Serve with fresh fruits, Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
