Cuisine: French
Serves: 3 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 cups almond milk
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup protein powder
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- Butter for cooking
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of whole wheat flour and 1/4 cup of protein powder. Whisk them together until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, crack 3 eggs and beat them lightly. Then, add 2 cups of almond milk to the eggs and whisk until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
- Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients while continuously whisking to avoid lumps. Mix until the batter is smooth and has a pourable consistency. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes.
- While the batter is resting, prepare your cooking surface. Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and add a small amount of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.
- Once the pan is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of the crepe batter into the center of the pan. Quickly swirl the pan to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer.
- Cook the crepe for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden brown. Carefully flip the crepe using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed to prevent sticking.
- Once all crepes are cooked, spread about 1-2 tablespoons of Nutella on one half of each crepe.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of fresh blueberries over the Nutella on each crepe.
- Fold the crepes in half or roll them up to enclose the filling. You can serve them warm or at room temperature.
- For an extra touch, drizzle some additional Nutella or a dusting of powdered sugar on top before serving. Enjoy your Nutella Blueberry Protein Crepes!
Tips
- Rest the Batter: Allowing the batter to rest for about 5 minutes helps to create a smoother texture and improves the crepe's elasticity, making them easier to flip.
- Temperature Control: Make sure your skillet is at the right temperature. Too hot, and your crepes will burn; too cool, and they won’t cook properly. A medium heat is usually perfect.
- Use a Non-Stick Pan: A good non-stick skillet or crepe pan is essential for preventing the crepes from sticking and ensuring they flip easily.
- Butter is Key: Don’t skimp on the butter! A little melted butter in the pan goes a long way in achieving that golden-brown color and delicious flavor.
- Experiment with Fillings: While Nutella and blueberries are a fantastic combo, feel free to mix it up with other fruits, nut butters, or even yogurt for added flavor and nutrition.
- Serving Suggestions: For an extra touch of decadence, drizzle more Nutella or a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top before serving. A dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream can also elevate your crepes to dessert status!
