# Instructions:
01 -
In a large bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 3/4 cup liquid egg whites, 1 1/2 cups plain non-fat Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth. For the best Cinnamon Roll Protein Crepes - 40g Protein No Powder, let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
02 -
In a small bowl, combine 2 tbsp light brown sugar and 1 tsp ground cinnamon. Stir in 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted, until a thick paste forms. Set aside. This mixture will create the signature swirl for your Cinnamon Roll Protein Crepes - 40g Protein No Powder.
03 -
In another small bowl, whisk together 2 oz light cream cheese (softened), 1/4 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp powdered sugar, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract until smooth. Add 1-2 tsp unsweetened almond milk, as needed, to reach a drizzly consistency.
04 -
Heat an 8-inch non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 tbsp neutral cooking oil and swirl to coat. Pour about 1/4 cup of crepe batter into the pan, tilting to spread thinly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until edges set and bottom is golden.
05 -
While the first side cooks, carefully drizzle about 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the crepe in a spiral pattern. Flip the crepe and cook for another 1-2 minutes until lightly browned. Repeat with remaining batter and swirl.
06 -
Fold each warm crepe into quarters or roll them up. Arrange on plates and generously drizzle with the prepared Tangy Vanilla Glaze. Serve your delicious Cinnamon Roll Protein Crepes - 40g Protein No Powder immediately for a satisfying breakfast or brunch.
# Notes:
01 -
Leftover crepes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave. Store glaze separately.
02 -
If your crepe batter seems too thick after resting, add an extra splash of almond milk (1-2 tsp) until it reaches a pourable, thin consistency. It should coat the back of a spoon.
03 -
Ensure your light cream cheese is truly softened for the glaze to prevent lumps. You can microwave it for 10-15 seconds if needed. Adjust almond milk for desired thickness.
04 -
Enhance your crepes with fresh berries, sliced bananas, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for added flavor and texture.
