Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 1/2 cup oat flour (or almond flour/gluten-free blend for variation)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs (or flax/chia eggs for vegan option)
  • 3/4 cup milk or milk alternative
  • 1 tablespoon sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or sugar substitute)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cinnamon Swirl Mixture

  • 1 tablespoon melted butter (or vegan alternative)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon sweetener

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: Combine protein powder, oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet, stirring until smooth and thin without lumps.
  2. Heat Your Pan: Warm a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or a neutral oil to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  3. Cook the Crepes: Pour a small ladleful of batter into the heated pan, swirling quickly to spread thinly and evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until edges lift easily, then flip and cook for another 30 seconds until golden.
  4. Create the Cinnamon Swirl: While still warm, brush or drizzle the crepe with melted butter mixed with cinnamon and sweetener. Roll or fold to seal in flavor.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Plate the crepes immediately for best flavor and texture or keep warm while finishing the batch.

Notes

  • Batter should be thin enough to spread easily but not overly runny; adjust milk or flour as needed.
  • Preheat the pan properly to ensure even cooking and easy flipping.
  • Use non-stick cookware for delicate crepes that won’t tear.
  • Watch cooking closely to avoid overcooking; crepes brown quickly.
  • Batter can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 12 hours.
  • For gluten-free, substitute oat flour with almond flour or gluten-free blends.
  • For a vegan version, replace eggs with flax or chia eggs, use plant-based milk and protein powder.
  • Add extras like Greek yogurt or chopped nuts for added texture and protein.
