Perfect for breakfast, post-workout fuel, or even dessert, this recipe combines comfort food vibes with nutritional balance.

Ingredients (4–5 crepes)

For the crepes:

• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
• 2 tbsp oat flour (or finely ground oats)
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• Pinch of salt
• Nonstick spray or coconut oil (for cooking)

For the filling:

• 4 oz light cream cheese (softened)
• 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey (or sugar-free syrup)
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• ½ tsp vanilla extract

For the glaze:

• 2 tbsp vanilla protein powder
• 1 tbsp milk (adjust for consistency)

Instructions

1. In a blender, combine the crepe ingredients until smooth and lump-free. Let the batter rest for 2–3 minutes.
2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with spray or coconut oil. Pour a thin layer of batter, swirling the pan to spread evenly. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the edges lift, then flip and cook another 30–60 seconds. Repeat with remaining batter.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together cream cheese, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
4. Mix the protein glaze by whisking protein powder with milk until pourable.
5. Spread the cinnamon filling over each crepe, roll or fold them, and drizzle with the glaze. Optionally sprinkle with extra cinnamon or crushed nuts.

Serving Tip

Pair these crepes with fresh fruit or a cup of coffee for the ultimate “cinnamon roll” experience without the guilt. Each serving delivers protein to keep you full and energized while tasting like a weekend treat.
