Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (plus extra for serving)

For Cooking

  • Butter or oil for cooking


Instructions

  1. Prepare Dry Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, vanilla protein powder, and cinnamon, mixing well to distribute the spices evenly throughout the dry ingredients.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Crack the eggs into the bowl and pour in the almond milk. Stir the mixture thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter, ensuring the almond flour and protein powder are fully incorporated.
  3. Heat Pan: Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking and help create a golden crust on the crepes.
  4. Cook Crepes: Pour a small amount of batter into the heated pan, tilting the pan immediately to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer. This forms the crepe’s shape and ensures even cooking.
  5. First Side Cooking: Let the crepe cook undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes until the edges start to lift away from the pan and the bottom is lightly browned.
  6. Flip and Cook Other Side: Carefully flip the crepe using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 1 to 2 minutes to ensure it is cooked through and has a delicate golden finish.
  7. Repeat: Remove the cooked crepe and repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the pan as needed to keep the crepes from sticking.
  8. Serve: Stack the warm crepes on plates and drizzle with additional honey or maple syrup for added sweetness. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use a non-stick pan and medium heat to prevent burning and help achieve the perfect crepe texture.
  • Adjust thickness by adding more almond milk if the batter is too thick or more almond flour if too thin.
  • For a vegan version, substitute eggs with flax eggs and ensure the protein powder is plant-based.
  • These crepes can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and gently reheated in a pan or microwave.
  • Optional toppings include fresh berries, Greek yogurt, or nut butter for added flavor and nutrition.
