Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk or milk alternative
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour blend
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or sugar substitute)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Non-stick cooking spray or butter for cooking

Optional Toppings and Variations

  • Cinnamon and sweetener mixture for swirl or layering
  • Fresh berries or sliced apples
  • Almond or peanut butter drizzle
  • Powdered sugar, cream cheese glaze, or chopped nuts for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together protein powder, flour, eggs, milk, cinnamon, sweetener, baking powder, and vanilla extract until smooth and lump-free. The batter should be thin, similar to traditional crepe batter, for easy spreading.
  2. Heat Your Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with non-stick cooking spray or a bit of butter. Ensure the pan is hot enough to cook quickly without burning.
  3. Cook the Crepes: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan, immediately tilt and swirl the pan to spread the batter thinly and evenly. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until edges lift and the bottom is golden, then gently flip and cook the other side for an additional 30 seconds.
  4. Stack and Add Cinnamon Roll Touch: Stack warm crepes on a plate, adding a sprinkle of cinnamon mixed with sweetener between layers or drizzle with cinnamon glaze to enhance the cinnamon roll flavor.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the crepes warm topped with your favorite garnishes such as fresh fruit, nut butter, powdered sugar, or cream cheese glaze. Enjoy the perfect balance of sweet and protein-packed goodness.

Notes

  • Use a whisk or blender to ensure a lump-free, smooth batter.
  • Adjust batter thickness by adding more milk if too thick; it should pour easily.
  • Cook crepes on medium heat to avoid burning or rubberiness.
  • A non-stick pan helps with easy flipping and prevents tearing.
  • Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking to improve texture and spreadability.
