Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Tapioca flour
- 6 medium Egg whites
- 20 grams Whey protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)
- 60 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil or cooking spray
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the tapioca flour and whey protein powder until well combined.
Add the egg whites, unsweetened almond milk, and a pinch of salt to the bowl. Whisk until the batter is smooth and lump-free. The batter should have a slightly runny consistency; add a little more almond milk if necessary.
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with vegetable oil or cooking spray.
Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the center of the pan. Quickly swirl the pan in a circular motion to evenly spread the batter into a thin layer.
Cook the crepe for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to release from the pan and the bottom is golden brown.
Flip the crepe using a spatula and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the other side is cooked through.
Transfer the crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed between crepes.
Serve the crepes warm with your choice of savory or sweet fillings, such as avocado, smoked salmon, nut butter, or fresh fruit.
