High-Protein Crepes
These high-protein crepes are an easy, nutritious recipe packed with protein from cottage cheese and egg whites. Perfect as healthy crepes with cottage cheese or crepes without flour!
Equipment
- Blender
- 8-inch nonstick skillet
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup egg whites
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese (2% or 4% works best)
- 1/4 cup oat flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Add eggs, egg whites, cottage cheese, oat flour, and vanilla extract (if using) to a blender. Blend until completely smooth to create a silky, lump-free batter.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow bubbles to settle—this ensures even cooking.
- Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet, swirling quickly to coat the pan evenly. Cook for about 1 minute, or until the edges lift easily, and the bottom is golden.
- Flip and cook the other side for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute, until golden and cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking crepes on a plate and covering them loosely with foil to keep warm.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit and yogurt, or let cool completely before storing for meal prep.
Notes
Meal prep tip: Store crepes in an airtight container, layered with parchment paper, in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
