Cinnamon-infused crepes with creamy filling and a light protein glaze—warm, tender, and satisfying.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Crep Batter

01 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1/3 cup vanilla protein powder (about 40 g)
04 - 1/2 cup whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour blend (about 60 g)
05 - 1 tbsp coconut sugar or brown sugar
06 - 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
07 - 1/4 tsp salt
08 - 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

→ Cinnamon Filling

09 - 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
10 - 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
11 - 1 tbsp coconut sugar or brown sugar
12 - 1 tsp ground cinnamon
13 - 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

→ Protein Glaze

14 - 1/4 cup vanilla or plain protein powder (about 30 g)
15 - 2 tbsp milk of choice
16 - 1 tsp maple syrup (optional)

# How-To Steps:

01 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond milk, eggs, protein powder, flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla extract until completely smooth with no lumps remaining. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate.
02 - Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the skillet, tilting and swirling to spread the batter into a thin, even layer across the surface.
03 - Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges begin to pull away from the pan and the surface looks set. Carefully flip with a spatula and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter to produce 4 crepes total.
04 - Combine the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Stir vigorously until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and free of any lumps.
05 - Spread an even layer of the cinnamon filling across each warm crepe. Roll them up tightly or fold into quarters, depending on your preference.
06 - Whisk together the protein powder, milk, and maple syrup in a small bowl until the glaze is smooth and reaches a drizzleable consistency. Adjust with a few drops of milk if needed.
07 - Drizzle the protein glaze generously over the filled crepes. Serve immediately while warm, garnished with an extra dusting of cinnamon or fresh berries if desired.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • You get all the warm cozy comfort of a cinnamon roll wrapped in something that actually fuels your body.
  • The crepe technique is surprisingly forgiving, even if you have never made them before.
  • They come together in thirty minutes flat, which is faster than any bakery run.
02 -
  • Overmixing the batter can make crepes tough, so stop whisking once everything is combined.
  • If the batter seems too thick, add a splash of milk rather than more eggs to keep them tender.
  • Protein powder brands vary wildly in absorbency, so adjust milk by the tablespoon until the batter pours like heavy cream.
03 -
  • Use a small non stick pan around eight inches for the most evenly shaped crepes with no messy edges.
  • Keep the filling at room temperature so it spreads without tearing the delicate crepe skin.
