Recipe Tips for Success

• Use a high-quality non-stick skillet for easy flipping.
• Make sure your cream cheese is very soft.
• Tilt the pan quickly to get thin crepes.
• Do not overcook the crepes or they will snap.
• Let the batter sit for five minutes before cooking.
• Adjust the almond milk if the batter is thick.
• Use a silicone spatula to lift the edges gently.
• Whisk the glaze vigorously for a smooth finish.

Easy Flavor Ideas

• Add a sprinkle of chopped pecans for crunch.
• Swap vanilla protein for chocolate for a twist.
• Mix fresh raspberries into the cream cheese filling.
• Use pumpkin pie spice instead of cinnamon in fall.
• Top with a dollop of extra Greek yogurt.

Common Questions

Can I use a different protein powder?

Whey protein works best for the texture here. Casein might make the batter too thick. Plant-based powders may need more almond milk. Always check the consistency before you pour.

Is oat flour necessary for this recipe?

Oat flour helps give the crepe structure. You can blend dry oats to make it. It keeps the recipe gluten-free and healthy. Do not skip it for the best results.

How do I stop them from sticking?

Use a good non-stick spray every time. Keep the heat on medium-low, not high. High heat will burn the protein powder. Patience is key for a perfect flip.

You are going to love how these make you feel!
