Protein Crepes

Protein Crepes

When I discovered Power Cakes pancake mix at Costco, I instantly fell in love and started making pancakes from it. On whim, I tried to make crepes from it. This protein packed recipe (note that is not powdered sugar on the picture, it is protein powder) will have you wanting more. I had success on the first try and so will you!

The macros are (with non-fat milk): 295 calories, 2.3 grams fat, 37.1 grams carbs, 31.4 grams protein.

Recipe (Makes 1 portion, feel free to double, triple, etc.)

1. Combine 1/2 a cup of each of the following: power cakes mix, milk of your choice, and liquid egg whites in a bowl with a whisk. Liquid egg whites are sold where eggs are usually found in the grocery store. They are a great alternative to separating eggs yourself. They are especially good if you have no use for the yolks. If you do need egg yolks, feel free to use egg whites from whole eggs.

 

 

2. Heat up a medium sized pan.

3. Spray the pan generously with Pam. Pour a little bit on the crepe batter into the pan.

4. Swirl the the batter around the pan right away. It is all in your wrist. Don't be afraid to go up the sides.

5. Once the edges start to curl up, it is time to flip. I just use my hands. The crepes are sturdy.

6. Once  the edges start to curl up again. The crepe is ready. The curl won't be as pronounced as before.

 

 

7. Repeat steps 3-6 on the remaining batter, especially the part about the Pam.

I like to make crepes with powdered peanut butter or peanut flour. Combine two tablespoons of the powder/flour with a little bit of milk at a time until you get the desired consistency. I like to have it will a little bit of jelly to make a PB & J crepe or marshmallow fluff to get fluffernutter crepe.
