Lately, I've been on a bit of a protein pancake kick. I love making different variations to wake up to! These vegan protein crepes are stuffed with berries, basil, and shredded coconut. I Topped mine with yogurt, fresh basil, and berries. I like to swap out my maple syrup for other creative toppings, so If you've never tried yogurt on your crepes, now's your chance! It's so creamy without being too sweet. I love to make a giant crepe in the morning to start my day. If you're not a protein powder user, try subbing almond meal for varied results. I love to whip one up for a busy workweek morning as well as lazy weekend mornings!
YIELDS
1 crepe
PREP TIME
COOK TIME
TOTAL TIME
- 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 banana, smashed
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon peanut powder
- 1 tablespoon flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water flax egg
- 1 tablespoon (optional) peanut powder
- 1 cup berries
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk yogurt
- 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon shredded coconut
Directions
1. Warm a skillet over medium heat with a little bit of avocado oil spray.
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 TBS flaxseed + 3 TBS water and let sit for a few minutes to create your "flax egg."
2. Next, add smashed banana, unsweetened almond milk, protein powder, and peanut powder and mix until well combined with a spatula or spoon. Spoon mixture onto the warm skillet and spread with a spatula so it forms a large thin circle.
3. Heat for 5 minutes, or until golden brown underneath, then carefully take a peek underneath. If it's still too fragile, allow to heat for another 2-3 minutes, then try again. Carefully flip when ready and heat for 3-5 on the other side.
4. Transfer the crepe to a plate. Add berries and shredded coconut to one half, then fold over to create your crepes. Top with almond milk yogurt, fresh basil, and more shredded coconut. Serve immediately!
