Ingredients
Scale:
1 cup all-purpose flour (or a gluten-free blend)
2 large eggs
1 ½ cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1 tablespoon melted coconut oil (or butter)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon sugar (or a sugar substitute)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch of salt
1 cup Greek yogurt (or cottage cheese)
2 tablespoons protein powder (vanilla or cinnamon flavored)
2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Maple syrup (for drizzling)
Additional cinnamon (optional)
Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, sugar, cinnamon, and salt until the batter is smooth and well combined. Let it rest for about 20 minutes.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the skillet, swirling to ensure an even layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional minute. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter.
In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, protein powder, honey, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Mix until well combined and creamy.
Take one crepe, spread a generous amount of the filling down the center, fold the sides over the filling, and roll it up tightly. Repeat with remaining crepes.
Plate the filled crepes and drizzle with maple syrup. Sprinkle with additional cinnamon and nuts if desired. Enjoy warm.
