Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 scoop whey protein powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil or non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine whey protein powder, all-purpose flour, and salt. Whisk together until evenly distributed.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. The batter should be smooth and slightly runny.
Let the batter rest for at least 15 minutes. This allows the flour to hydrate properly, leading to better crepe texture.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease it with vegetable oil or non-stick cooking spray.
Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan. Quickly swirl the pan to spread the batter evenly across the surface.
Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift away from the pan and the underside is golden brown. Flip the crepe using a spatula.
Cook the other side for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, until golden.
Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and cover it with a clean kitchen towel to keep it warm.
Repeat steps 6-9 with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as necessary.
Serve crepes with your choice of high-protein fillings such as Greek yogurt, almond butter, or cottage cheese.
