Vanilla Crepes with added protein

Its been a while coming, but I finally have a crepe with protein powder in it that I am happy with. The consistency has been the biggest issue so far. With these is you find that they are still a bit thick, just add extra water in small amounts, do not add extra almond milk however, it ill not make the batter any thinner.

For this recipe I played around with the recipe calculator on www.sparkpeople.com. I did not include all the details on the vitamins and minerals due to the length of the nutrition info (in Microsoft word the table covered 3 pages). I may include this basic nutrition info in future recipes as well, it just means the recipes may be a bit slower coming. And looking at the preview the nutrition information is different from the nice and condensed (compared to the final one) that I see.

Enjoy!



Vanilla Crepes with added protein

Yield: approximately 10 large crepes

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups vanilla almond milk
3/4 cup water
2 scoops vanilla protein powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tbsp chia seeds
1 egg
2 tbsp coconut sugar
1 tsp vanilla bean paste

Preparation:

Combine all ingredients in a bow, batter should be really thin. If it is still thick, and you are getting thick crepes, add more water, or non-fat/low-fat milk.

Pour over a heated, lightly greased, non stick pan.

The first one is not likely to spread well, the rest after it will. Once the batter is in the pan turn the pan to allow the batter to coat the pan. Using a long offset spatula can be very helpful in ensuring the batter is spread thinly.

Cook until the crepe is visibly cooked, transfer to a plate with a paper towel lining it.
