Ingredients

Scale

Main Batter Ingredients

  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 1/2 cup oats or oat flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk or milk alternative (almond, oat, or coconut milk)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1–2 tbsp natural sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or stevia)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Variations and Toppings

  • Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free oats or almond flour instead of regular oats
  • Dairy-Free Option: Use almond, oat, or coconut milk
  • Keto-Friendly Option: Substitute sweetener with erythritol and use coconut flour sparingly
  • Extra Protein: Add 2-3 tbsp Greek yogurt or cottage cheese to the batter
  • Nutty Flavor: Sprinkle chopped walnuts or pecans inside crepes
  • Cinnamon Roll Swirl: Light cinnamon-sugar mixture or protein cinnamon glaze to brush on cooked crepes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a blender or mixing bowl, combine protein powder, oats, eggs, milk, baking powder, cinnamon, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Blend or whisk until smooth and slightly runny, forming a batter that spreads easily but isn’t too thin. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes to hydrate the oats and improve texture.
  2. Heat the Pan: Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with a small amount of oil or butter. The pan should be hot but not smoking to prevent burning and to achieve a golden finish.
  3. Cook the Crepes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan and swirl to evenly cover the surface with a thin layer. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until edges lift easily and the bottom is golden brown. Flip carefully and cook the other side for 1 to 2 minutes until cooked through.
  4. Add Cinnamon Roll Swirl (Optional): Immediately after cooking, brush the crepes with a light cinnamon-sugar mixture or a smear of protein cinnamon glaze for an extra touch of cinnamon roll flavor.
  5. Serve Warm: Stack crepes with desired fillings or toppings, such as powdered cinnamon, chopped nuts, almond butter, or Greek yogurt glaze, and enjoy warm.

Notes

  • If the batter is too thick, add a splash of milk to achieve the perfect crepe consistency.
  • Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and ease flipping.
  • Resting the batter 5-10 minutes hydrates the oats and improves the crepe texture.
  • Cook the crepes on medium heat for low and slow cooking to avoid burning and ensure even cooking.
  • Experiment with fillings like cream cheese, nut butter, or fruit preserves for variety.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days with parchment paper between crepes to prevent sticking.
  • Freeze individual crepes wrapped in plastic in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat or microwave covered with a damp paper towel for 20-30 seconds to keep them soft.
