These deliciously healthy Breakfast Protein Crepes are easy to make, low in carbs, high in protein and made of simple ingredients. Crepes are one of my favorite things to enjoy for dessert (or, breakfast). What I love about crepes is that you can make them sweet or savory depending on your cravings.
Breakfast Protein Crepes
These breakfast crepes are the perfect for a protein-filled breakfast. I left out the sugar and added vanilla whey protein to make them low-carb without any added sugar. They are perfect for breakfast or as a low-carb dessert – delicious stuffed with berries.
I love making pancakes – but crepes? I love them even more because they are so delicious and completely adaptable. You can whip up a batch of crepes in mere minutes and they are perfect for any time of the day. Though I’ll admit — for me, they are the ultimate breakfast or dessert.
If you are feeding a crowd of people, you can go a step further and make both sweet and savory crepes and set out your own fillings to have people create their own based on their cravings.
How to make Breakfast Protein Crepes
Step 1: Blend the ingredients together:
Mix the protein powder with the milk in a small bowl. In another medium bowl, whisk the egg and egg whites together until they are combined. Add the protein powder mixture and cinnamon into the eggs and stir thoroughly.
Add the almond flour to the mixture and stir until fully incorporated and there are no clumps.
Step 2: Heat the skillet
Heat the pan with the oil and pour in about a third of the batter. Swirl the pan until the entire bottom is coated evenly with the batter.
Step 3: Cook the crepes in the skillet
Cook for 2-3 minutes and flip, cooking for another 1 minute on the other side. Repeat two additional times with the remaining batter. If you need to make additional crepes, double or triple the recipe.
Step 4: Fill the crepes with your favorite fillings
Add Greek yoghurt into each crepe and top with berries. Or, if you make your own homemade yogurt, feel free to use that, instead. Add additional toppings such as nuts, honey or fruits if desired. Serve the crepes right away and enjoy – go a step further and dust your fruit and yogurt filled crepes with powdered sugar.
Yum!
