Steps:
- Whisk flour, milk, egg whites, olive oil, and cinnamon together in a large bowl until batter is smooth.
- Lightly spray a skillet with cooking spray and set over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup batter into the skillet and rotate skillet so batter spreads to the edges in a thin layer. Cook until bottom is lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook other side until bottom is lightly browned, about 2 more minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Mix Greek yogurt and jelly together in a bowl. Spoon a layer of yogurt mixture onto each crepe; roll crepe around filling. Place rolled crepes on serving plates and top with remaining yogurt mixture. Sprinkle each crepe with cinnamon.

PROTEIN CREPES
I've tried a lot of protein pancake recipes from the internet but they usually turn out very bulky and dry for me, so I started playing in the kitchen. These are thin and moist but not *too* eggy. They can be eaten alone but are a little on the bland side with nothing on them; I usually top them with fruit, cottage cheese, a little bit of sliced almonds - whatever you want really.

Steps:
- Spray a small skillet with cooking spray and set to low-medium heat.
- Blend all ingredients together.
- Pour batter into pan just enough to reach to edges of skillet.
- Allow to cook until edges start to pull up slightly, 1-2 minutes- if the skillet is too hot or it does not cook long enough, the whites will run when you try to flip the crepe.
- Flip the crepe; you will only need to heat the other side for a few seconds.
- This recipe usually makes about 4 crepes.
Tips:
- Make sure the pan is hot before adding the batter. If the pan is not hot enough, the crepe will stick.
- Use a non-stick pan or lightly grease the pan with cooking spray before cooking the crepes.
- Pour the batter into the center of the pan and quickly swirl the pan to evenly distribute the batter.
- Cook the crepe for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
- Be careful when flipping the crepe. Use a spatula to gently loosen the edges of the crepe before flipping it.
- Fill the crepes with your favorite fillings, such as cheese, ham, vegetables, or fruit.
- Serve the crepes immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Protein crepes are a delicious and versatile breakfast, lunch, or dinner option. They are easy to make and can be filled with a variety of ingredients. With a little practice, you can make perfect protein crepes every time.
Here are some additional tips for making protein crepes:
- If you don't have a blender, you can make the batter by hand. Just whisk the ingredients together until they are smooth.
- You can use any type of protein powder in this recipe. Just make sure that it is unflavored or that the flavor will complement the other ingredients in the crepe.
- If you are using a flavored protein powder, you may want to reduce the amount of sweetener in the recipe.
- These crepes are also a great source of fiber. Just be sure to use whole wheat flour or a gluten-free flour blend that contains fiber.
So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious meal, give protein crepes a try. You won't be disappointed!
