Servings: 6
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup (236 grams) Liquid Egg Whites
1/2 cup (118 grams) Low-fat Cottage Cheese (or use a Banana)
1/2 cup (118 grams) Vanilla Whey Protein Powder
1/2 cup (118 grams) Rolled Oats
Toppings:
Peanut Butter
Dark berries
Strawberries
OR
Red pepper
Chicken
Avocado
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Using a hand-held blender, mixer or a food processor, blend all ingredients.
2. Optional: add spices like cinnamon, vanilla extract, orange or lemon zest, or nutmeg to batter.
3. Once your batter is smooth, heat a pan greased with a teaspoon of coconut oil or cooking spray.
4. Allow the pan to get super hot.
5. Once pan is hot, pour in 1/4 cup of batter. (The batter should sizzle when you pour it into the pan.)
6. As soon as the batter hits the pan, turn down the burner to medium-high so it cooks evenly and doesn't burn.
7. Cover the surface of the pan with the batter in a thin layer.
8. Spread the batter by moving the pan or by spreading it with a spoon or spatula.
9. Flip each crepe as soon as bubbles begin to form on its surface.
10. Then, allow the other side to cook—it should only take a few seconds—until it gets golden brown.
11. When the crepe is done, remove it from pan and put it on a plate.
12. You may have to re-grease the pan every three or four crepes.
13. Once all your crepes are prepared, fill them!
For this column, I filled them with peanut butter. But the sky is the limit. You can fill them with protein, protein pudding, nuts, fresh fruit. You can even go down a savory route and fill them with red pepper, chicken, and avocado!
