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

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine whey protein powder, all-purpose flour, and salt. Whisk together until evenly distributed.

Step 2

In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. The batter should be smooth and slightly runny.

Step 4

Let the batter rest for at least 15 minutes. This allows the flour to hydrate properly, leading to better crepe texture.

Step 5

Preheat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease it with vegetable oil or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Cook the other side for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, until golden.

Step 9

Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and cover it with a clean kitchen towel to keep it warm.

Step 10

Repeat steps 6-9 with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as necessary.

Step 11

Serve crepes with your choice of high-protein fillings such as Greek yogurt, almond butter, or cottage cheese.
