Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup oat flour (or coconut flour for gluten-free options)
- 2 scoops vanilla protein powder (about 50 g)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (for sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together oat flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together almond milk, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients while stirring to form a smooth, pourable batter. Do not overmix.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the skillet and swirl to form a thin layer. Cook for 1–2 minutes until edges lift and center sets.
- Flip and cook the other side for 30 seconds. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Optional: Sprinkle a cinnamon sugar mix inside the crepes and roll them up while still warm.
- Optional: Mix powdered sugar, almond milk, and a drop of vanilla extract to create icing. Drizzle over crepes before serving.
Notes
- Use any milk of choice such as dairy, soy, or coconut milk.
- Let the batter rest for 10–15 minutes for fluffier crepes.
- Use a blender for a smoother batter consistency.
- Store crepes between parchment paper in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.
- For vegan version, use flax eggs and plant-based protein powder.
